Here are two reviews of Experience and its Modes that I’ve only recently come across. The former is exceedingly warm; the latter, not surprisingly, very dismissive since it is reviewed in North America’s premier philosophy journal.

Here is the portrait that hangs in Caius College kindly sent to me by Graham A. MacDonald. The problem is that one can’t do much about the reflection giving this rather ghostly rendition – the artist who I tracked down and with whom I spoke did promise to send me a print – he never did.…
