Inscribed by the author to the American-born Oxford philosopher James P. Griffin (1933-2019) in blue ink to the front free endpaper: ‘Jim from Tony 3 May 1998’.

‘Quinton’s philosophy is best seen as a series of modifications to or reactions against the tradition of British philosophy that runs from the empiricists of the eighteenth century, through Mill in the nineteenth, and on to Russell and Ayer in the twentieth’ (Biographical Dictionary of Twentieth-Century Philosophers).
