\ BooknewsDeveloped from a lecture series delivered in Beijing in 1991, a more precise and detailed account of ideas Pivcevic first put forth in his 1986 "The Concept of Reality". The stages of his argument include how thought hooks onto the world, the strategy of austerity, objectivity and the social construction of time, truth as a species of good, and truth as event. He provides very few references. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.\ \
