Rezensionen

"An exciting, well-written, fun introduction to contemporary ontology."
Choice Magazine

"This is a delightful introduction, both to various ontological topics and to the general aims and methods of ontology itself. Effingham writes with an informal style and a lightness of touch that makes even the more esoteric and technical issues come alive, and the book is an instructive joy to read."
Helen Beebee, University of Manchester

"Nikk Effingham has done a terrific job - he provides fine, clear introductions to a range of important debates, woven through with methodological reflections, whilst his chatty, engaging style conveys the sheer pleasure of becoming an ontologist."
Katherine Hawley, University of St Andrews
