Reviews«It could seem anachronistic: a vigorous defense of Rational Metaphysics in the present era of Post-Modernism. Yet these Socratic style dialogues are so delightfully written that the old Phoenix seems to be alive and kicking again... It is highly recommended to all lovers of metaphysics.» (Iyyun, The Jerusalem Philosophical Quarterly) «Steinitz's 'In Defense of Metaphysics' focuses on one fundamental question: Are there absolute truths outside of logic? This is a penetrating philosophical discussion worthy of its name. Steinitz's vehement criticism (of analytic philosophy) deserves a serious debate.» (Haaretz Litrutre Supplment) «This book, which carries the reader along with its sweeping style, is an excellent introduction to the key issues of the philosophy of science broadly conceived. I know of very few books that can compete with it in general philosophical literature.» (Professor Sabetai Unguru, Tel Aviv University)
