'A short review cannot hope to do justice to all the interesting (and controversial) material to be found in these dedicatory essays.'Michael Slote, Philosophical Quarterly, 'A short review cannot hope to do justice to all the interesting (and controversial) material to be found in these dedicatory essays.'Michael Slote, Philosophical Quarterly'To be welcomed for more reasons than one.
