"Matti Eklund's excellent Choosing Normative Concepts is a rich and wide-ranging book. ... The book is well-argued, engaging, clear and simple in style, and rewards careful study. I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in metaethics and metanormativity. * Nicholas Drake, Journal of Moral Philosophy * In all, this is a highly interesting book, full of important and useful theoretical resources, relevant and often neglected distinctions, and lots of things to think about for those working in meta-ethics. The book raises a lot of very relevant and fruitful questions for further research, and as such, definitely merits close consideration * Sebastian K""ohler, Ethics Theory and Moral Practice * An extremely rewarding exploration of a number of issues central to meta-normative debates. * Matthew Bedke, The Philosophical Review * An excellent work of philosophy. * Stephanie Leary, Inquiry * Eklunds discussion of thick concepts, objectionable normative concepts, and slurs (which runs throughout the book but comes to a head in chap. 9) is especially rich and interesting. * Sarah Zoe Raskoff, University of Arizona, Ethics * [Eklund's] extraordinarily rich and original book focuses on revealing new problems and possibilities that anyone with serious interest in metaethics can learn from ... I recommend the book wholeheartedly. * Tristram McPherson, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *"
