Reviews

"""Hamrick's discussion is detailed, wide-ranging, and insightful ... [his] work should be required reading for anyone working on kindness."" - Journal of Speculative Philosophy ""Hamrick may very well have done for kindness what Merleau-Ponty has done for perception, Ricoeur for freedom, and Dufrenne for aesthetic experience. Hamrick's is a definitive, comprehensive study, against which all future studies of kindness will be measured and to which they will have to respond."" - James L. Marsh, author of Process, Praxis, and Transcendence"
