"This is a wonderful book, well written, sharply focused, and full of sound common sense. It is a breath of fresh air at a time when professional philosophers are bogged down in the mud and mire of overspecialized trivia and seem to have little to contribute to serious human problems." --First Principles, Intercollegiate Studies Institute, May 2008
