What They're Saying
Critics Review
“The two issues I have raised only serve to highlight the originality of Lowe’s work. More Kinds of Beingis a remarkable book. It sets the stage for numerous debates in metaphysics, philosophical logic, philosophy of language, and philosophy of mind that are sure to continue much longer than another two decades.” (Mind, 1 January 2013)
“Throughout, one finds the usual clarity, thoroughness, and systematic thinking that are a mark of all of Lowe’s ever expanding and remarkable corpus. This book should be in every college and university library.” (CHOICE, July 2010)
“More Kinds of Being is densely and masterfully argued, written with great clarity, and makes a number of important original contributions to the field. It is certainly essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary analytical metaphysics. This is a metaphysical study of lasting value and significance.” (Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, August 12, 2010)
