I have no doubt that The Moral Habitat will be an important book. It puts forward an original systematic approach that will be sure to stimulate lots of discussion. It is written in an engaging and sometimes eloquent way with a distinctive philosophical voice. And it addresses important concrete issues, including some that are badly neglected by moral philosophers, in ways that illuminate both the moral habitat approach and the issues themselves. Perhaps most importantly, it stimulates its reader to think and inspires confidence that thinking within the moral habitat project will bear real fruit
