Recenzii
Adeptly employing classic thought to evaluate modern works, Small presents strategies that will prompt thoughtful discussion and could also veer into nihilism. Adroitly moving between ancient and modern ethics, this insightful volume will interest a broad audience. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers.
"[Professor Small] puts the breadth of her learning to good use in helping us understand that cynics great and small can serve an important role in tapping the walls of our social edifice for tell-tale signs of hollowness.
