Editorial Review

"The collection could not be more timely ... its appeal cuts across a number of different disciplines and sub-disciplines within the human sciences ... the combination of theoretical and comparative perspectives singles this collection out." Daniel Weinstock, Department of Philosophy, Université de Montréal.
