‘…a profound application of the view that ideas, whether scientific or moral, develop out of the historical context and social relations of their creation and use…The book ought to be on the shelf of everyone interested in the next steps in our collective research in ethics, epistemology and social policy.’ Ann Ferguson, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
