"Speaking of justice, I have not, within the allotted space, been able to render it to this excellent book. Garver's arguments are intricate, sensitive, and frequently witty. His case is well made."
— Mark Kingwell, Ethics
"A mature, ambitious and at times even passionate Aristotelian meditation on topics ranging from the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission to the problem of pluralism and incommensurable goods. Students of Aristotle's Rhet. will learn from it ways in which Aristotelian theories can address modern problems, and modern theorists will learn from it a new and plausible alternative to sterile models of instrumental practical reason."
— Thornton C. Lockwood, Jr., Polis
"People acquainted with Garver's previous books . . . will find in this one the same scholarly carefulness, depth of historical understanding, and philosophical acumen, in both the ethical and meta-ethical domain. Readers not acquainted with his previous work will find this book an enticing and original introduction to rhetoric, ethics, and argumentation."
— Maurice A. Finocchiaro, Argumentation
