The Possibility of Altruism Bewertungen

An extremely tough, polished, and altogether stimulating piece of work.--New York Review of Books Nagel's book is not a criticism of anybody else's book, nor a footnote to anybody else's theory. It is independent and clear, and very original.--Times Literary Supplement This is a powerful and challenging work, skilfully organised and presented with economy, clarity, and style.--Bernard Mayo, Philosophical Books
