Reviews
"Sober is a real philosopher and the clarity of his thought helps this book immensely." - Sean Stidd, Wayne State University "I definitely think that the author wrote this book with the student in mind. Although the ideas presented are difficult, the author does a great job in explaining the theories without 'tarnishing' the philosophers theory. So many text ruin the power of the philosophical thought because they want to make the idea 'understandable'. It is not the case in this text. I thought the explanations were spot on." - Louis Howe, Jr., Central Connecticut State University, "Sober is a real philosopher and the clarity of his thought helps this book immensely." - Sean Stidd, Wayne State University "I definitely think that the author wrote this book with the student in mind.
