Rezensionen

"Arvan has written a stimulating and important book on the natures and complex interrelations of prudence, morality, and neuroscience."

Gregory Robson, Journal of Moral Philosophy

"[An] interesting and well-written book . . . informative, well-written, and engaging, and should be of considerable interest to those working in cognitive science and philosophy, particularly those working in normative ethics and meta-ethics or interested in the neuroscience of morality."

Tom Buller, Metascience
