Reviews
Philosophical controversies over natural law have immediate relevance to conflicts of everyday life ... not the least valuable feature of Anthony J. Lisska's lively and illuminating discussion is his catalogue of positions taken by participants in those controversies ... there are a number of stimulating discussions that deserve independent treatment, notably that of human rights. Lisska's elegant prose-style and clarity of exposition combine to make his book a pleasure to read. It deserves a wider audience than do most academic books. * Alasdair MacIntyre, Duke University, International Philosophical Quarterly Vol. XXXVII, No. 1 Issue No. 145 (March 1997) *
All in all, this is a most welcome book...the range of the book is impressive, but just what it must be if the interpretation is to be sustained. Lisska's readers are confronted by a number of deconstructions...Lisska, in his workmanlike way, gains the respect and confidence of his reader. His book should be read and debated. It is a genuine contribution to the effort to decide what in the world moral philosophy is. * The Medieval Review *
