Reviews

With wit and erudition, Katie Ebner-Landy charts an unexpected course through the history of philosophy. The character sketch appears in her account as a lost philosophic art ripe for revival, dedicated to deriving moral benefits from bad examples. From ancient oligarchs to modern mansplainers, this is an arresting and delightful debut. -- Teresa M. Bejan, author of <i>Mere Civility: Disagreement and the Limits of Toleration</i>
