Stephen Nathanson, Professor of Philosophy at Northeastern University, is the author of The Ideal of Rationality, An Eye for an Eye?: The Immorality of Punishing by Death (Rowman & Littlefield), and Should We Consent to be Governed? A Short Introduction to Political Philosophy.
A refreshingly concise and accessible discussion of a cluster of vital and controversial questions, free from cant and special pleading.
— Jean Bethke Elshtain, The Laura Spelman Rockeller Professor of Social and Political Ethics, University of Chicago; author of Just War Against Terror
It is rare that a philosopher addresses a topic that is at once of vital interest to non-philosophers and philosophers alike....I highly recommend using this text.
