the excellent introduction by Julian Dodd ... provides very useful summaries of all the papers included, and also manages to give a coherent picture of some of the central issues and problems dominating Goldie's work, as well as a good sense of the richness of Goldie's approach to them... Inevitably, some of the papers focus more directly on Goldie's work than others, and one virtue of the volume is that the former are of uniformly high enough quality to ensure that the issues they treat are not too narrowly focussed; whilst the latter together offer a rewardingly broad survey of a number of philosophical areas.
