Philosophical work comes in different sizes: there are systemic
treatises, monographic surveys, philosopher-expanding texts. But
there is also room for smaller studies that focus on highly
particularized ideas and issues: studies that deal not with entire
continents but with mere reefs and estuaries. The present essays
are of this limited nature. Their aim is less to give a view of the
overall lay of the land than to give a tranistic view of the
diversity of the landscape. The present book continues Rescher's
longstanding practice of publishing groups of philosophical essays
that originated in occasional lecture and conference presentations.
Notwithstanding their topical diversity the essays exhibit a
uniformity of method in a common attempt to view historically
significant philosophical issues in the light of modern
perspectives opened up thorough conceptual clarification.
