Recenzje

Jennifer Herdt's Assuming Responsibility is a tightly written and well-crafted monograph focused on answering one of the most fundamental questions of ethics: What is the relationship between the human desire for happiness and morality?...Assuming Responsibility is one of the best books on this particular topic written by a Christian ethicist in a long time. It is lucidly written, well-organized, and learned.
