Puzzles & Perplexities Reviews

Not only Cahn's lucidity but his philosophical passion and honesty shine through these essays. He is both scrupulously fair to opposing positions and straightforward in advocating his own, whether popular or not. The book will engage students and scholars alike. I found it a pleasure to read. -- Alan H. Goldman, College of William & Mary * APA Newsletter on Teaching Philosophy *
Steven M. Cahn is a master of the philosophical essay. In each chapter he confronts a perennial issue, such as God, free will, art, and social justice, and provides an original and provocative philosophical discussion. The chapters combine crisp thinking, elegant writing, and careful, imaginative analysis. These essays are models of philosophical writing. -- Robert Talisse, Vanderbilt University * APA Newsletter on Teaching Philosophy *
