Reviews

The book she has assembled with co-editor Marques offers an array of thoughtful chapters from a variety of disciplinary perspectives that emphasize the role concepts play in our interpersonal communication and how these concepts may be transformed for purposes of expanding or contracting the potential of human liberation. * Guy Lancaster, Mrx and Philosophy: Review of Books * All in all, the chapters are clearly written and well-structured and the collection is enjoyable to read for a broad interdisciplinary audience. * Christian Michel, Metascience *
