Many of his local observations are startling, in a good way; he asks those of us who study the figures he discusses to step back and reflect on their ultimate objectives, their successes, and, yes, their failures. ---Christopher Shields, MIND Gaukroger's narrative is creative and convincing, extremely dense and elegant at the same time, based on a jaw-dropping breadth and depth of scholarship. . . . All this is a rather convoluted way of saying that to my mind, our losses are not as great as they may seem: the fact that we have Stephen Gaukroger's brilliant studies to read makes up in no small part for the failures of philosophy. ---Jeroen Bouterse, 3 Quarks Daily """Gaukroger displays a remarkably broad range: his sweep of knowledge is truly impressive. . . .
