The thirty articles in Puzzles and Perplexitie, displaying clarity and acumen, present a balanced picture of Steven M. Cahn's wide-ranging work over more than four decades. Taken together, the signal essays in this volume guide the reader on a journey through Cahn's remarkable career as a philosopher and educator.
Not only Cahn's lucidity but his philosophical passion and honesty shine through these essays. He is both scrupulously fair to opposing positions and straightforward in advocating his own, whether popular or not. The book will engage students and scholars alike. I found it a pleasure to read. -- Alan H. Goldman, College of William & Mary * APA Newsletter on Teaching Philosophy *

The chapters combine crisp thinking, elegant writing, and careful, imaginative analysis. These essays are models of philosophical writing. -- Robert Talisse, Vanderbilt University * APA Newsletter on Teaching Philosophy *
