Recenzii

“In The Future of the Disabled in Liberal Society, [Reinders] subtly explores how genetic--testing technologies--ones that are already widely used and others that are just around the corner-adversely affect the standing of the disabled in liberal states. A professor of ethics, Reinders has written an intellectually challenging work of philosophy and social policy. . . . [He] has done a great service by demonstrating how even a seemingly benign aspect of the high-tech revolution, genetic testing, will have unintended consequences none of us can greet with equanimity.” —Policy Review
 


“[T]he book as a whole will offer to advanced undergraduates an engaging and challenging introduction to some of the most influential ethical thinkers of our time. Very highly recommended.” —Choice, 2001 Outstanding Academic Title

 

“[The book] provides a rich resource for understanding thinking in contemporary secular bioethics. . . . Reinders's work greatly helps one to understand the reasoning and application of liberal secular philosophy and details its shortcomings.” —The National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly
 

 
“[A] sophisticated and welcome contribution to what the author calls the continuing debate concerning the strengths and weaknesses of liberal morality that dominates contemporary society. This is a sobering book.” —Commonweal



“By demonstrating the inherent paradoxes in liberal approaches to the disabled, [Reinders] effectively reveals potential policy limitations that may threaten the social services available to the mentally disabled.” —Religious Studies Review
