Endre Begby
Reviews and Awards
"The author's prose is clear, and he works through a great deal of difficult material in short compass. Philosophers, policymakers, and students will all profit from reading this book." -- B. T. Hutchinson, CHOICE
"This is a well-written and thought-provoking book. It is both philosophically sophisticated and relatively accessible. Advanced students with some background in relevant areas should have no trouble following the broad outline of the argument. Researchers interested in the topics it covers (and it covers quite a few) will gain a lot from reading it. Some of them will find things to disagree with, but that is only to be expected. All told, this is a sophisticated and nuanced account of the epistemology and ethics of prejudice and prejudiced belief." -- Robin McKenna, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"...this is what makes Begby's work so informative and such a landmark in non-ideal epistemology" -- Guy Lancaster, Marx & Philosophy Review of Books
"And this is what makes Begby's work so informative and such a landmark in non-ideal epistemology, for by demonstrating how prejudice accords with our normal cognitive operations, it centers the humanity of all involved, even those perpetrators of so much so-called "inhumanity." -- Guy Lancaster, Marx & Philosophy Review of Books
