Recenzje

'Edited in honour of David A. Crocker, the collection brilliantly brings together analyses, critiques, evaluations, amendments, and refinements of key concepts governing the paradigm of development ethics. The book voices the wealth of concepts of a whole solid school of social theory and the philosophical ramifications in its magnificent global perspectives; bringing into play the thoughts of such great philosophers of development as A. Sen, D. Crocker, S. Alkire, D. Goulet, J. Rawls, M. Nussbaum, and many other philosophers of development and democracy theory.' Ezroura Mohamed, Mohammed V University, Morocco
