Reviews of the original publication:
"The book’s scope is large and the detail impressive. It is a considerable work of twentieth-century metaphysics." The Times Literary Supplement
"Quinton has written an admirable book. Its arguments and expositions are firm, clear and well-ordered; its scope it wide; it is written with vigour and lucidity; and it has a unifying objective." New Statesman
