Reviews

<br> Following the Rules brings together in a provocative and interesting way various literatures that moral philosophers should consider. It makes many novel proposals worth some thought. And it propounds as a basic moral motive something no more edifying and ennobling than a tendency to conform and punish non-conformers. It seems to me that this proposal deserves serious contemporary consideration. I think that this is an excellent book. --Joseph Mendola, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews<br> Ethicists and social theorists skeptical of strictly consequentialist explanations of human behavior should read this penetrating book. Highly recommended. --C.A. Striblen, CHOICE<br> Establishes a wholly new standard for books of this kind... Heath's book truly advances our understanding of the normative dimension of human life. -- Jaroslav Peregrin, International Review of Pragmatics <br><br>
