"This book places two of the leading thinkers of our day, Graham Priest and Markus Gabriel, into conversation with each other. The result is an illuminating and invigorating text, and a text that shows the possibilities of engaged philosophical discourse. May this be a model for future texts."Jeffrey Bell, Southeastern Louisiana University"Developing differently situated projects that nevertheless reveal illuminating points of striking convergence, Markus Gabriel and Graham Priest debate the most fundamental problems of contemporary inquiry into what there is. A fascinating glimpse of where philosophical thought is headed today."Paul M. Livingston, University of New Mexico
