"The book . . . is truly an excellent piece of both philosophy and scholarship: argumentative and rigorous, informative and thought provoking. It is also superbly written, exhibiting exceptional clarity, concision, and flow. It is in all respects a first rate contribution. Anybody interested in McTaggart, the philosophy of time, or metaphysics will reap tremendous rewards from engaging with Ingthorsson's ideas; do give them a go."—Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews"Ingthorsson’s valuable book is a focused study of the paradox, which offers an insight into McTaggart’s overall metaphysical system and discusses a range of responses to the paradox . . . [This] is a valuable and well-researched addition to the literature on McTaggart’s infamous argument, and scholars interested in the paradox will benefit from careful study of it."—David Ingram in Review of Metaphysics"For anyone who wants to get to grips with the major threads of thought that developed in response to McTaggart, this is an invaluable resource . . . The book is a rich source of argumentation and discussion of a number of core issues in the philosophy of time, and for that reason is well worth a read."—Kristie Miller in Phenomenological Reviews"This book is, to date, clearly the most comprehensive and critical overview of the debate on McTaggart’s paradox."—Michelle Beer, Florida International University, USA
