review: Editorial Reviews Review From the reviews: "This book offers an extended argument that the existence of contingent things is grounded in and hence accounted for by a paradigm existent, which is none other than existence itself … . a very useful book indeed. The ground covered is immense. The author’s knowledge of the past century and a half of philosophizing about the problem of existence is encyclopedic, and his arguments are incisive, to the point, and almost always persuasive. … this volume belongs on the reading list of anyone … ." (Hugh J. McCann, The Review of Metaphysics, Vol. LVIII (231), 2005) "While reading Vallicella’s excellent book, I was constantly reminded of why I went to philosophy. It addresses an important perennial issue, it is deep, well-informed and broad, and it is full of precise, careful arguments. This work is one of the best books I have ever read on topics in analytic ontology. … Vallicella’s book is incredibly rich, learned and rewarding. … And reading this book would be a good antidote to anyone … ." (J. P. Moreland, Journal of the Evangelical Philosophical Society, 2005)
