Reviews

Heney's application of Peircian ideas to the contemporary scene in meta-ethics is very valuable...Heney shows how pragmatism can offer compelling versions of both a cognitivist affirmation of the truth aptness of moral judgments and a generalist support for the role of principles in moral deliberation. -Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

Stone in American Journal of Theology and Philosophy
