Rezensionen

"What a wonderful book! Rini writes with a rare combination of analytic rigor and delicious readability. The book sparkles with anecdotes and examples - personal, political, and historical - that engagingly convey the complexity of the issues. I especially admire Rini's multi-layered treatment of blame, which deftly avoids the dozen pitfalls of less nuanced approaches." - Eric Schwitzgebel, University of California, Riverside, USA

"This is a truly fascinating book, chockful of insights, engaging narratives, fun turns of phrase, and incisive argumentation. An excellent text for philosophy courses (on ethics, social justice, disability, feminist philosophy, and philosophy of race), which is also frank and straightforward enough to engage anyone interested in how we should proceed toward a more just and humane society." - Alex Madva, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, USA
