Rezensionen

"Speaking Truth to Power is organized like an essay collection. Each chapter has its own abstract, keywords and reference list. ... The book, nevertheless, represents the most important contribution on the theme, pregnant with important consequences concerning non-ideal democratic theory and the criteria of public interest." (Rúben Batista, Ethical Perspectives, Vol. 27 (1), 2020)
