"Levy's systematic attention to definitional and interpretive detail, extended case studies, response to critics from multiple disciplines, and fine-grained argument make this volume a potential paradigm shifter in discussions involving moral agency. Excellent bibliography. Essential." - Choice

"Neil Levy's Consciousness and Moral Responsibility is short, and itâs a quick read ... Levy displays a great deal of philosophical sophistication ... I suspect that the volume will be of significant interest to those working on issues in the philosophy of action and the philosophy of mind." - D. Justin Coates, Ethics

"thoughtful and elegantly written ... a remarkable book that brings sophisticated philosophical analysis to bear on very recent research in neuroscience and cognitive psychology. It is full of fascinating studies that explore the many ways in which we choose nonconsciously ... essential reading." - Adrian Walsh, Australian Book Review

"This highly condensed, frank, and well-argued work is a must for anyone interested in moral psychology, morality considered at the neurophysiological level, and how consciousness studies can apply to other disciplines and concerns and to our understanding of ourselves as Homo sapiens" - Lantz Miller, Journal of Consciousness Studies

"This brief book is a valuable contribution to the literature and will be fascinating to those interested in the intersection of cognitive science and moral psychology." - Travis Timmerman and Sean Clancy, The Philosophers' Magazine
