"""James Liszka’s book is, to date and without question, one of the best resources on its titular focus. It thoroughly considers the historical roots of Peirce’s thought on values and normativity, and it addresses some hard questions about it, including about the nature of the growth of concrete reasonableness, which Peirce considers to be our ethical summum bonum. It is clear and focused, and it contributes much to the discussion in this area of Peirce scholarship, interest in which has increased over the past decade."" – Aaron Wilson, South Texas College, USA"
