Review of Metaphysics 48 (3):654-655 (1995)

Abstract

This book is a first-rate piece of work. It is wide ranging in its scope, yet finely attentive to detail. It covers with acumen and critical insight a large number of contemporary thinkers, and yet shows scholarly and philosophical finesse in reading Aristotle and recovering the contemporary significance of his views of technë and phronesis. It is elegantly written, and over its long unfolding maintains a very human voice.
