Reviews of the original edition:‘My Bambrough’s book on metaphysics…treats some fundamental topics with illuminating clarity and unobtrusive humour…He approaches the subject not as a theologian but as a lay philosopher and student of the classics. These overlapping fields of interest make themselves felt in fruitful combination throughout the book…His consistent lucidity will widely commend his critical account of various ways in which modern British philosophy has concerned itself with the theological questions.’ Church Times‘The book is perceptive, pleasant to read, and full of insights and stimuli.’ Philosophical Review
