Reviews for Language, Logic and Epistemology
'Norris... presents an impressive depth, resuscitating Derrida as a logician, tackling Wittgenstein's anti-realist leanings and investigating the attempts of analytic philosophy to find a middle way between realism and its opponents.' - The Times Literary Supplement
