Teresa Baron is a Nottingham Research Fellow at the Department of Philosophy, University of Nottingham, UK. Christopher Cowley is Associate Professor of Philosophy at University College Dublin, Ireland.
An excellent, philosophically rich and nonetheless accessible introduction to a wide range of important topics about the family, marriage, partnership and intimacy. Baron and Crowley start from a socially liberal political orientation and show that a commitment to social liberalism still leaves a wide range of issues about families up for the intelligent and thoughtful philosophical analysis and debate they provide in this volume. * Amy Mullin, Professor, Department of Philosophy, University of Toronto, Canada *
