Rezensionen

'Loyalty is at once a non-negotiable value and the root of much suffering. Coming to terms with this duality, Simon Keller argues in his timely and important. The Limits of Loyalty, requires that we recognize not one kind of loyalty, but a diversity of loyalties, some of which merit our allegiance, and some not. The result of this compelling reconsideration is a subtle and shrewd work of philosophical moral psychology, which will not only provoke unsettling reflection on the most vexing and indispensable of human relations - lovers, friends, family, and country - but also revivify central debates in philosophical ethics and political theory. It deserves to be widely resonant.' John M. Doris, Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology Program, Philosophy Department, Washington University, St. Louis
