Reception
Blackburn's book was reviewed in Mind by philosopher Mark Sainsbury.[1] Peter Edidin wrote in The New York Times that Think "found a sizable audience", noting that more than 30,000 hardcover copies had been sold and that "Oxford has asked Mr. Blackburn to follow up with Being Good, a guide to the philosophy of ethics".[2] Philosopher Anthony Quinton wrote in 2005 that very short books such as Think form part of a recent new development "in the field of popularization by professionals."[3]
