Recenzii
The book is swarming with excellent arguments...This is an excellent book.
This is an excellent book. It is original, provocative, and sophisticated. The level of scholarship is truly admirable.
The novelty of Whiting's analysis is his effort to account not only for the large variety of reason-giving activities that people engage in but also what all those activities-in all their different contexts-have in common. The analysis is meticulous...Highly recommended.
In his wonderful new book, Whiting defends a novel account of normative reasons. To my knowledge, he offers the first modal account of normative reasons. [...] Whiting should be lauded for his bold and imaginative intervention into these debates about foundational normative issues.
Daniel Whiting's excellent new book [...] makes a number of noteworthy contributions to the philosophical literature on reasons and normativity. At this point, a good deal has been written on normative reasons, and it is no easy thing to make novel and promising arguments. Yet, this is what Whiting manages to do. Hopefully, his book will receive the attention it deserves [...] We strongly recommend consulting Whiting's book to appreciate the explanatory power of his view in both ethical and epistemic realms.
A reader can't fail to appreciate the high level of detail of the analyses, the depth of the discussion and the care with which the author tries to address even the tiniest issues. [...] I would highly recommend [...] this extremely well informed, ambitious and thought-provoking book.
