Rezension zu „Torture, Terror, and Trade-Offs: Philosophy for the White House “
"Waldron's luminous intellect beams piercing light into the dark corners of current American political culture and then illuminates unexpected avenues back toward civility and decency. His essay on torture is a special gift, characteristically uniting moral passion with analytic imagination." -Henry Shue, University of Oxford
