"This is a work of much wisdom. One can rarely read a book and then say that, if we would only follow this author's advice, the world might be saved. I had that experience in reading Adams's book. I know of no book of this scope that contains as much wisdom." — David Ray Griffin, School of Theology at Claremont"I find this work significant. Adams has an important topic and treats it well. He brings philosophical insight to bear directly on political, economic, and cultural issues and problems. The topic is extremely timely and very crucial in contemporary social philosophy."—Jerry H. Gill, author of Learning to Learn: Toward a Philosophy of Education"An important book that should be read and discussed." — Marcus Ford, Northern Arizona University
