Can easily envisage making good use of this as a text in classes. The Philosophical Quarterly This vigorous debate between two distinguished philosophers not only illuminates what is at stake in contemporary controversies over issues but also offers an inspiring example of respectful dialogue between individuals whose views are sharply opposed. -- Alison M. Jaggar, University of Colorado, Boulder A useful paperback to consult for the primary clashes between feminists and anti-feminists in the PC wars-if you can contain your outrage. Sewas News The considerable appeal of this immensely provocative book lies in the serious (and respectful) attempt that each philosopher makes to grapple with the other's views and in the detailed and lucid arguments with which each page is replete. -- Nelson P. Lande, University of Massachusetts I can thank Marilyn Friedman and Jan Narveson for stimulating my thinking... Refreshingly, this book contains arguments... Friedman and Narveson are to be congratulated... -- Susan Dwyer, University of Maryland University Press; The University Of Calgary Immensely provocative book ... detailed and lucid arguments ... Ethics: An International Journal of Social, Political, and Legal Philosophy
