Reviews for Respecting Persons in Theory and Practice
A powerful collection of Jan Narveson's best essays, culled from over three decades in professional philosophy. . . . Despite being a serious philosophy text, this book reads rather like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with footnotes. Throughout, Narveson's range is astonishing, his style engaging, and the quality of his writing second only to that of his reasoning.
