ARPALY, N. S., In Praise of Desire. Oxford University Press, 2018. 328p. Paperback. Series: Oxford Moral Theory. Praise of Desire combines Arpaly and Schroeder's treat strengths to produce a book populated with engaging and naturalistic examples, argued with great systematic sophistication... The authors powerfully illuminate the nature and importance of the role played by the aspect under which we undertake actions in determining whether we count as responding fittingly to the situations in which we find ourselves and the amount of praise and blame due us for doing so.

NICOLAIDES, D., In Search of a Theory of Everything. The Philosophy Behind Physics. Oxford University Press, 2020. 186p. Hardback. In times like these--when the deep unity of science and philosophy is under attack from various quarters, in particular from the anti-Enlightenment forces so powerfully present in contemporary society--we need books like the one of Demetris Nicolaides. This is a crystal-clear demonstration that the unity is indeed real and important and that the Enlightenment project is alive and well. Milan M.
