Reviews

This book contains several original arguments and thought-provoking ideas. The primary argument about moral theorizing as an explanatory endeavour binds moral theory, normative ethics, and applied ethics into a unique argumentative field that paves the way for many important, distinct, and novel insights that the author discusses. All this opens new ground for future debates in the field. --Vojko Strahovnik, University of Ljubljana
