Rezensionen

"A much-needed investigation in one of the hottest topics in philosophy, psychology, and public discourse"

Maria Silvia Vaccarezza, University of Genoa, Italy

"When is the artist's immorality relevant to their art? And how should we respond to immoral artists? Honouring and Admiring the Immoral offers elegant, balanced, and occasionally, wonderfully personal answers to these questions . . . I urge anyone interested in art and morality, free speech, and social epistemology to treat this work as essential reading."

Daisy Dixon, The Philosophical Quarterly
