Reviews

Tetralogue has an abundance of merits. It is lively and frequently incisive. It pursues several important philosophical issues efficiently and without remaining on well-trodden ground. It does not require any academic background. It could contribute usefully to undergraduate courses that address any of its topics.
*Notre Dame Philosphical Review, Earl Conee*

The reader can certainly appreciate the value of trained minds and clear thinking as the dialogue proceeds - this is an offbeat and engaging introduction to logic using generic examples to which many readers will relate.
*Network review, David Lorimer*

This small volume would make a great present.
*Church Times, Adam Ford*

Tetralogue is presented as an accessible, fun-to-read introduction to philosophical themes for the non-initiated; at the same time, the initiated may enjoy seeing these topics embedded in apparently mundane discussions.
*Times Higher Education, Catarina Dutilh Novaes*

This is a serious book that is also a lot of fun.
*Analysis and Synthesis Blog, Richard Baron*

What is perhaps most striking about this book is the dialogical format adopted...Tetralogue is a stimulating book.
*Catarina Dutilh Novaes, Times Higher Education Supplement*

It is a valuable introduction to rich intellectual topics which await further exploration for those with an appetite for more.
*Matthew A. Benton, Marginalia*
