Reason and Reality by J. R. Lucas (ISBN 978-1-934297-04-9 is the
Hardback edition and ISBN 978-1-934297-06-3 is the Paperback
edition): In this masterful and wide-ranging work by a prominent
Oxford University philosopher, J. R. Lucas asks what reality is and
how to reason about it. In 15 chapters he brings together his

essential different types of explanation. The view of time and
reality that emerges is one that takes full account of modern
physics but has room for human beings and responsibility. Here is
