Notă biografică

She received her Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Rochester and her J.D. from Harvard Law School. She has practiced law in New York City and teaches philosophy at Barnard College. Her next book, on the subject of marriage, is to be published by Bloomsbury in 2013. She lives in New York City with her husband and son.
Recenzii
The very definitions of morality and goodness are nastily contested political flash points, and Mendelson, in a forceful but compassionate argument, shows how this has affected our culture.
Powerful, meaningful, and thorough... She is not neutral in her gritty analysis...Her style, clean and sharp and heavily footnoted, does not suffer minds 'immune to reason.'
An extraordinary achievement that has no peer in this century and may well have none in the next
The bible of good housekeeping
Home Comforts is to the house what Joy of Cooking is to food
I couldn't put it down.

Descriere
A fresh and provocative perspective on the moral life and the hatred of moral values that now runs deep--and dangerously--through American culture and character.
