First published in 1993. Why do mirrors reverse left and right but not up and down? Does time flow at an even rate These are just two of the questions that won't be answered in Pseudo-Problems. This book explains how problems are dissolved rather than solved. Roy Sorenson takes the most important and interesting examples from one hundred years of analytic philosophy (and the odd one from the centuries before) to consolidate a new theory of dissolution. Pseudo-Problems is a fast-moving, fascinating alternative history of twentieth-century analytic philosophy, and a fine example of what philosophical analysis should be. Not least, it is an important contribution to the debates about creativity and problem solving.

Industry Reviews

"Roy Sorensen's "Pseudo-Problems is clear and flowing . . . it is extremely rich with examples. This is a very rewarding book and a great pleasure to read."
-James Robert Brown, University of Toronto
