Rezensionen

"Pölzler has produced an outstandingly useful book. It is clearly written and painstakingly researched . . . He clearly identifies the empirical commitments of various science-based arguments for moral realism and moral anti-realism; he evaluates scientific studies that have been thought to probe these commitments; and he suggests how to improve these studies . . . Anyone working on these topics will want to read the sections relevant to their own interests." - Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
