Rezensionen

"Succeeds brilliantly as a clear and readable introduction, yet manages also to be a pioneering work that draws on neuroscience as well as philosophy to make real progress in our understanding of pleasure." - Peter Singer, author of Animal Liberation, Practical Ethics and The Life You Can Save

"A joy to read. Well-written and informed by relevant literature. Original and interesting. This book skilfully connects the philosophical and neuroscientific literatures on pleasure." - Ben Bramble, Australian National University
