Reviews

Macha has written an exemplary book about the nature of exemplarity. Drawing on Plato, Kant, Hegel, Wittgenstein, Kripke, Derrida, and Kuhn, he shows how ordinary individuals can come to play the role of exemplars and standards-and how exemplars and standards can lapse into being ordinary individuals. Andrew Cutrofello, Loyola University Chicago, USA Macha's insightful book takes up the significant question of what is called an 'example' and what functions as 'exemplary' or as a paradigm in our everyday practices, in the formation and institution of our values and norms, and in a contemporary reception of the history of philosophical appeals to these notions. Highly recommended for all those who are interested in what contemporary philosophy has to teach us about the meaning of our everyday language, life, and practices. Paul Livingston, University of New Mexico, USA
