"'The collection is very good; arguably a must-read for everyone interested in the paradoxes. . . . The contributors to the volume represent a sizable subset of the important theorists in the field. Moreover, they do not simply rehash old ideas; the essays constitute genuine advancements. In light of the contributors prominence in the field, the present volume has a good claim to represent the state of the art'" - Matti Eklund, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
