Reviews
This collection of essays, edited by Peter Singer, is a response by some moral philosophers to Parfits views about ethics, normativity, and meaning. * Janna Thompson (Professor, La Trobe University) Australian Book Review *
Authorative collection. * Kieran Setiya, Times Literary Supplement *
With all of the exchanges that take place in volume 3 and Singer's collection, readers are likely to come away with the favorable impression that philosophy is a highly collaborative enterprise. ... all of the thirty-six authors cited in the bibliography are full professors, the majority of the still living of whom are towering figures in the profession with associations to only a small number of prestigious departments ... while our discipline lost a philosophical giant when Parfit passed away shortly before the publications of volume 3 and Singer's collection, moral philosophy has a bright future ahead of it. * Nicholas Laskowski, Ethics *
