Rezensionen
"This book was a superb idea and has been superbly done." Brad Hooker, University of Reading

"This engaging collection of incisive and lucid essays on twelve major contemporary contributors to the subject elegantly delivers a synoptic view that, in making this work readily comprehensible to the non-specialist without a hint of oversimplification, shows philosophy for what it is at its best: enlivening, stimulating, exacting, and - true to the promise of its Socratic origins - ever capable of provocatively unsettling the otherwise unexamined presumptions that would blind us to life's absorbing complexities. Informative, illuminating reading." Garry L. Hagberg, University of East Anglia
