Reviews
This handbook collects a nice assortment of papers on value theory, ranging from papers about highly abstract structural features of axiology to applied topics. It is, we think, a helpful addition to the literature. Many of the papers are excellent. Some provide useful summaries of debates...The volume will, we are sure, be useful for teaching the debates, especially at the graduate level...It is well worth reading for both seasoned axiologists and graduate students working in ethics, and it provides a terrific sampling of the state of the art. * Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online *
After a clear introduction by the editors, the book includes twenty-two new essays divided into three groups. All of the essays are of high quality. Some are more accessible than others, but each essay was well-written and contributes to the overall excellence of the volume...it is a helpful resource to have on the shelf...Many students and instructors would do well to study the essays in this section to clarify their conceptions and inform their arguments regarding values. * Philosophia Christi *
