Recensione:
One might say that a great philosophical book is measured not only by the compelling force of its arguments but also by the gripping power of the questions it makes possible. Darwall's new work succeeds on both accounts, especially since it gives us the conceptual resources to ask elemental philosophical questions we could not have formulated before. Darwall's work continues to provide a fresh and stimulating perspective on fundamental and familiar philosophical questions. As such, HHR promises to become mandatory reading for anyone wishing to explore the second-personal turn in practical philosophy. (Ariel Zylberman, Ethics)
It's wide-ranging, historically grounded, thoughtful, and humane. In short, it's contemporary moral philosophy at its best. (Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews)
