Reviews

On Complicity and Compromise is the product of an innovative collaboration between a philosophical theory (in the person of Robert E. Goodin) and humanitarian practice (represented by Chiara Lepora, a doctor and a programme director for Medecins sans Frontieres). Opening with a dialogue between the two authors in which they talk through the demands and methods of their respective fields, the book then unfolds a meticulous and illuminating analysis of difficult terrain in practical ethics ... This book is essential reading not only for philosophers who will find in it a rich, original and revealing contribution to ethics and political theory, but also for practitioners. Its marriage of theory and practice is path-breaking. Chrisopher Finlay, University of Birmingham Their [the author's] book is a pleasure to read and well worth ones time.
