Recensioner i media

Jeremy Kirby’s The Gamma Paradoxes is an illuminating treatment of Aristotle’s thinking on one of the toughest problems in philosophy, the nature of being or existence. Again and again, I was struck by how relevant is the discussion to contemporary questions in philosophy, from science to religion. This is a book that merits and rewards careful study.
