'A refreshingly daring book.' -Laval théologique et philosophique'A wonderful piece of speculative metaphysics, consistent with contemporary physics and cosmology... Leslie has produced a wonderfully well worked out and quite attractive system of metaphysics. In any case in the course of his argument there is a succession of ingenious discussions of particular matters, including, as one would expect from him, discussions in the philosophy of cosmology.' -Australasian Journal of Philosophy'Provocative and ambitious.' -A. W. Moore, Times Literary SupplementIn this highly original and thought-provoking book John Leslie unfolds his view of the nature of the universe. This view is unusual, but rich in philosophical inspiration and suggestion. Over the last three decades Leslie has been developing his theory in a series of path-breaking publications; now at last he gives it its definitive exposition. It may be hard to believe that the universe is as he says it is --but it is hard also to resist his compelling ideas and arguments.
