"Unity and Plurality successfully shows the importance of dealing with the phenomenon of plurals in logic, philosophy, and linguistics. It covers many of the fundamental debates concerning plurals and it provides accessible tools to venture further in those debates." - Riccardo Baratella, The Philosophical Quarterly

"there is much to be learned from Unity & Plurality. The specialist in any of the fields represented will find thought-provoking developments but will also catch a glimpse of other disciplines involved in the study of plurals. The book stimulates fascinating comparisons, too. For instance, that pluralist approaches have found their way more easily into philosophy and philosophical logic — rather than natural language semantics — may be in itself food for thought." - Lorenzo Azzano, Dialectica

"Going beyond possible individuals, this promising line of research will also seek to take into account perspectivization and the role of the cognitive agent in determining what counts in a context as a plurality or a multitudeHow knowledge and subjectivity enter the realm of plurality is a question to which the papers in the book lead, thus renewing the debate in a long-standing tradition that, since Plato, has still not entirely grasped what pluralities are and can be." - Notre Dame Philosophical Review
