""In this sharply argued and passionate book, Boehm positions himself outside of all conventional categories. It is above all a deeply humanistic attempt to recommit people to the principle of an 'absolute love of humanity.'"" —Süddeutsche Zeitung ""Boehm raises the flag of universalism, that of the Kantian tradition born of a specific transformation of biblical texts into secular terms...For Boehm, Kant's radical contribution is to establish for the first time 'the idea of humanity...as a moral concept.'"" —El País ""Boehm is one of the most important philosophers of his generation."" —Susan Neiman ""Democratic visions such as Boehm’s [are] essential to frame a practical discourse of shared liberation."" —Steve France, Monodweiss
