Reviews

Cora Diamond is an important and illuminating voice in contemporary Philosophy ... . Balaska has done well to present us with a collection of essays by a broad range of thinkers who help develop conversations on ethics and its place in our lives. It might be said that these essays are not designed to tell you what to think about ethics, but may act as a guide in your own thinking about ethics. (Ryan Manhire, Philosophical Investigations, Vol. 45 (2), April, 2022)
