Recenzii

"This important collection of papers, some appearing in English for the first time, and others written specially for this occasion, is a welcome, timely effort by a number of philosophers to examine facets of the ever-increasing spiral of violence embedded in the warp and woof of the contemporary world. Running all the way from child slavery to 9/11, this volume is worth taking very seriously." -- Tom Rockmore, McAnulty College Distinguished Professor and Professor of Philosophy, Duquesne University, USA
Editors Eckstrand (Duquesne) and Yates (Boston College), both still graduate students, have made a significant contribution to contemporary philosophy... This challenging, illuminating volume... is an indispensable volume for philosophers and graduate students. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students and researchers/faculty.
