a lucid and judicious assessment... worth having... a representative snapshot of the current state of play

Tim Crane, Times Literary Supplement

Despite the variety of disjunctivism, the present collection hangs together well. Along with a useful set of abstracts, the editors provide an excellent introductory map... [a] fascinating book.

Kieran Setiya, MIND

Disjunctivism has attracted considerable philosophical attention in recent years: it has been the source of a lively and extended debate spanning the philosophy of perception, epistemology, and the philosophy of action. Adrian Haddock and Fiona Macpherson present seventeen specially written essays, which examine the different forms of disjunctivism and explore the connections between them. This volume will be an essential resource for anyone working in the central areas of philosophy, and the starting point for future research in this fascinating field.
