Rezensionen
'... Lichtenberg is doing the much-neglected and difficult work of integrating theoretical and practical scholarship ... Her work should be embraced as a novel roadmap for the kind of scholarship that global ethics needs - one that is responsive to the practical wisdom of the social sciences ... Distant Strangers is an obvious choice for scholars working in global ethics, and it may generate research ideas for those working at the crossroads of moral philosophy and social psychology.' Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
