Reviews
demonstrates an incomparable knowledge of both the original texts and the contemporary literature at every turn. * Tom Angier, Times Literary Supplement *
for those interested in ancient ethics and moral psychology, Virtue and Reason is a treasure trove of enlightening commentary, insightful arguments, and a keen view of the most important and perennial aspects of Plato's and Aristotle's genius. * Dimitrios Dentsoras, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
VR is a closely argued and densely packed work which is likely to become an essential point of reference for certain research programmes in Platonic and Aristotelian ethics and moral psychology. * Dylan Futter, Philosophy in Review XXXIII *
this is masterly work that embraces and assimilates an impressive amount of material in a clearly argued sequence, straightforward where the issues are less controversial, even-handed where their interpretation is ambiguous. It adds much to previous work on the subject, and is to be recommended for advanced students of Greek philosophy and of the moral philosophy in general. * Barrie Fleet, Classics for All *
