Review # 1 was written on 2020-05-06 00:00:00 Harry Jones This is an interesting and decent book in moral philosophy. I am very interested by Moody-Adams’ ideas of “fieldwork in familiar places,” and “critical pluralism.” I also am a fan of and am very interested in her conception of methodology for philosophy. However, this book falls down for me because it feels inverted. Her interesting claims are buried under thick layers of analysis of a debate about which I know little. Perhaps, if I were well-informed on the debate in anthropology and philosophy about relativism, I would rate this book more highly. Ultimately, I plan to read more of this author’s work and responses to it, but wish this book were not so heavily an work of interpretation and analysis.
