Recenzii

'Oxley's book The Moral Dimensions of Empathy constitutes a remarkably wide-ranging and comprehensive study of the function of empathy in ethical contexts. Oxley's astute and measured exploration of this subject matter makes it a rewarding read for philosophers and researchers in the social sciences.' - Karsten Stueber, College of the Holy Cross, USA
