Rizzi asks the reader to take on radical and unfounded views, sometimes without even a loose explanation or logical construction beyond "That makes sense, right?" Even though I disagree with nearly every tenet of Rizzi's philosophy, I still would give it a respectable two or three star rating if it weren't for: * His obvious lack of a copyeditor; * His entire disregard for even addressing other points of view; * His attempt to tackle complex issues with a poorly developed philosophical toolbox; and, most importantly, * His total lack of logical flow or structure beyond asking the reader to accept things on his authority. Though no doubt a great physicist, Rizzi seems to have lost his notion of rigor in trying to invent a new realist approach to the philosophy of science. His biggest flaw, in my opinion, is in his confusion of the nature of language; he oftentimes seems to think that he can pull universal truth out of the English language. Unfortunately for him, the English language is neither an authority on nature nor a system he's totally mastered himself. All in all, avoid this book -- especially if you don't have the scientific grounding to understand why it's wrong on your own.(less)
