Kritik

Richards is to be congratulated on tackling some of today's big questions about parenthood and about the biological relationship. Brenda Almond, Mind The Ethics of Parenthood addresses questions that are socially important, as well as philosophically intriguing. It is also a very human booktreating problems that many people face in their daily lives with an appreciation for the details that make them unique. It will be a useful resource for future scholarship on questions of familial ethics. Joseph Millum, Philosophy in Review offers a careful and broad analysis of many issues in family ethics while reaching out to the relevant disciplines of psychology and law. Michael McFall, Ethical Theory and Moral Practice The writing is generally very clear. No specialized philosophical background is required and an intelligent lay reader could understand it. Its accessibility does not compromise its philosophical quality, however. The author wrestles with interesting problems and offers interesting and novel solutions. In this regard the book would make a significant contribution to the field.' David Benatar, Philosophy, University of Cape townmehr
