"A millennium of deep thought compressed in an utterly accessible volume. Rom Harré; serves the interested reader well in this carefully, systematically organized work. This is a book that invites the earnest reader to join the Long Debate and to recognize its vital importantce." -- Daniel N. Robinson, Georgetown University
