"A unique book aimed at giving an introduction to all parts of philosophy. [...] One cannot recommend enough the chapters on truth and being, the closest to Bochenski's own field, in which he set standards for the role of logic and metaphysics in twenty-first century philosophical research."
Riccardo Pozzo, in The Review of Metaphysics, September 2001
"Few have the philosophical breadth or clarity of expression characteristic of Bochenski's work. In this extraordinary introduction to
philosophy, Bochenski with admirable precision and brevity presents a
spectrum of philosophical issues, rendering them accessible to the
beginner."
Jude P. Dougherty, Dean of the School of Philosophy, The Catholic University of America, Washington DC.
"[...] a delightfully lucid and well-balanced introduction."
Peter M. Simons, Philosophy Professor, University of Leeds, UK

"I had the pleasure of hearing him some years back, and if his text is
as lively as he was then, it would be a good intro for general
students."
Eric R. Kraemer, Philosophy Professor, University of Wisonsin, La Crosse, WI
