Zitat

"In this deep and thoughtful book, philosopher John Leslie and public sage Robert Lawrence Kuhn organize, integrate, and reassess past and current ideas about this most compelling of metaphysical questions." ( M etapsychology , 13 August 2013) "And now John Leslie and Robert Lawrence Kuhn have published The Mystery of Existence: Why Is There Anything At All ? , a very useful anthology of classic and contemporary readings." ( First Things , 24 July 2013) "Read the book by all means. It's well written. Inevitably. After all its contributors number the greatest brains known to man. But I think it has been misnamed. The Mystery of Existence . (There really isn't anything to concern us.) ." ( New Nurturing Potential , 1 July 2013) "I certainly recommend it, but it is not the sort of book you would buy to read in the train." ( Magonia Blog , 6 June 2013) "Their book, which I would recommend highly to students, researchers or indeed anyone with a curiosity about or stimulated by these deepest of questions, offers an abundance of suggestions for further reading and research on this inexhaustible topic." ( Mysterious Planet , 1 June 2013)
