Review Quotes
N. Sadababd, Central Connecticut State University | Choice
“Recommended.”
Deborah Konkowski | Zentralblatt MATH
“Any mathematically sophisticated student or researcher interested in the foundations of gravitational theory and/or any of the specific applications would benefit from reading this book.”
Theophanes Grammenos | Metascience
"Malament’s lucid and thorough exposition is addressed both to philosophically inclined mathematical physicists and to philosophers of science with a strong mathematical and physical background. In fact, despite the book’s rather heavy mathematical demands, the latter will find philosophical excitement hidden behind lines."
David Garfinkle, Oakland University
“This is a unique book by a talented author who spans the communities of general relativity and philosophy of science. The topics discussed are very interesting and cannot be found in other books on general relativity, and Malament’s treatment of them is extremely thorough and careful throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.”
London Schl Econ/Political Science: Lakatos Award in Philosophy of Science
