| Summary: | Ralph Wedgwood has written a big book: not in terms of pages (though there are
plenty) but in terms of scope and ambition. Scope, in that he addresses many of the

and then a metaphysics and an epistemology to go with it; ambition in that so much

background issues and of methodology. |
