Recenzii
'… the development of British moral philosophy in this period is irreducibly complex; Heydt's book is an immensely valuable contribution to our understanding of it.' Tim Stuart-Buttle, Journal of Scottish Philosophy
'Heydt explains clearly - with reference to a very wide variety of primary sources, some well-known, most unfamiliar - how teachers of moral philosophy in Britain in the eighteenth century presented their students with their duties to God, to themselves, and to others. All in all, this is a marvellous book … what especially struck me was the light it sheds on what the majority of moral philosophers in this place and time thought was the real point of their work.' James A. Harris, Journal of the History of Philosophy
'Heydt's scholarship is formidable. For those immersed in the literature of the period, this book will further their researches. For those, like this reviewer, who lack background knowledge in which to place the great figures, Heydt supplies a huge amount of information that could not otherwise be obtained except by great (and even tedious) labour. All those interested in [eighteenth-century] ethics are in his debt.' David McNaughton, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
