At every level—the naturalized epistemology, the feminist epistemology, and the work on moral realism—this book makes interesting contributions to topics of current debate. Campbell does a first-rate job of showing how his commitments on a wide range of topics serve to complement and reinforce one another. . . . This is an exciting book that will significantly advance discussion in the many areas to which it contributes.
— Hilary Kornblith, University of Vermont
Campbell's proposal of a realist conception of values as well as of facts is original and provocative . . . [E]ven those who have advocated a feminist and naturalized epistemology, myself included, have not advocated scientific or moral realism. Campbell makes a strong case for the view that feminist science critique and political critique would be strengthened by realism of both sorts, and a strong case for his approach to carving out viable accounts of each.
— Lynne Hankinson-Nelson, Rowan University
Campbell's book is well structured and most of his arguments are impressively clear and precise.
