Reviews

"This book is outstandingly original and will have a very significant impact on contemporary ethical and social theory. It possesses an enviable maturity, displayed through the ease with which the author utilizes insights from a variety of philosophical sources in order to present her own original account of 'corporeal generosity'" — Moira Gatens, author of Imaginary Bodies: Ethics, Power and Corporeality

"The topic of generosity, and relating the notion beyond personal virtue to its foundational place in politics, is both significant and marks an important contribution to ethics and politics." — Agnes B. Curry, Saint Joseph College
