Recenzii
[H]er book remains a valuable contribution for its articulation of the centrality of both truth and action to practical reason, and for the implications of this view for a number of areas of interest, including for the view of pleasure as partly cognitive in nature, a topic that takes up the last third of Olfert's stimulating book.
The book is written in an engaging style. ...The argument as a whole follows a well-conceived plan. . I enjoyed reading the book, and expect others interested in Aristotle's ethics to do likewise. ... Whether readers will follow Olfert in promoting practical truth to one of the key notions in Aristotle's ethics - on a par with, if not above, deliberation, practical reason, and pleasure - will depend on the readers' other commitments. The great merit of Olfert's book is to spell out a plausible and in many parts quite persuasive way of doing so.
