“This is an extremely impressive book. Not only does LaFollette explore a wide array of important topics with the insight and clarity for which he is famous, he shows that the best analysis of ethical theory and the most helpful reflection on practical moral problems must go hand in hand. LaFollette is not alone in claiming that theory and practice must inform each other, of course, but no one that I know of has done a better job of illustrating how intimately these two inquiries are intertwined.”
