Reviews

'Ethicists have recently discovered that the traditional ethical theories are in fact very flexible and so can agree on most things. Baumann uses tools from philosophy of science to provide the first systematic treatment of this discovery. His book is a well-researched, highly original, and rigorously argued exploration of an exciting new topic in normative ethics.' Jussi Suikkanen, University of Birmingham
