Ted Honderich Does Not Think Much of Colin McGinn’s Review of His Book…

…and he argues that what I called McGinn’s prima facie plausible criticisms of Honderich’s book do not, in fact, survive scrutiny.  He also documents, towards the end of the rejoinder (and in a separate page of excerpts), some of the personal history that might explain the fierce tone of the review, the subject of our earlier discussion.  Now that this whole matter has migrated into cyberspace, will Professor McGinn, himself now a blogger, issue a rejoinder to the rejoinder to what may now be the most famous or infamous review of a philosophical book in recent memory?
