Rezensionen

"This book is important. It offers a profound contribution ratherthan the last word on theism and ethics" EthicalPerspectives

"This is a splendid history of philosophical ethics, withspecial interest in God's presence and importance in thatperennial enterprise, by one of the leading philosophers of ethicswriting today. Hare tops off this surprising, exciting, andunorthodox history with an account of his own that collectstogether the best features of the theistic ethics of the past.God and Morality is written with crystal clarity andimpressive scholarship."
