"Skeptical Inquirer"
"[Pigliucci] is that rare academic...who is both an evolutionary biologist and philosopher (he has doctorates in both fields), and so he knows, better than most, that both science and philosophy are essential to understanding ourselves and our world....[A] lively discussion."
"New Scientist"
"["Answers for Aristotle"] will make you reflect on both the meaning of science...and of your own life."
"Publishers Weekly"
"[A] careful examination of the surprising connections between science and philosophy....["Answers for Aristotle"] is a witty and insightful look at the relevance of philosophy today."
"Booklist Online"
"Bravely renewing the entire Aristotelian project, Pigliucci surveys the latest scientific research in primatology, psychology, and neurobiology, always integrating the researchers' empirical findings into a meaningful philosophical perspective. This scientific-philosophical (or "sci-phi") perspective opens onto particularly provocative interpretations of human morality....Remarkably versatile....A book sure to spark debate."
"Kirkus Reviews"
"A useful introduction to sources on both sides of the science-philosophy divide."
Dario Maestripieri, Professor of Comparative Human Development, The University of Chicago, and author of "Games Primates Play"
"Massimo Pigliucci's beautiful mind and encyclopedic knowledge are on full display in "Answers for Aristotle." He is as comfortable discussing quantum physics and cognitive psychology as he is explaining the complexities of evolutionary biology and moral philosophy. "Answers for Aristotle" is a stimulating, entertaining book that demonstrates that we need both science and philosophy to make sense of who we are and how we live our lives."
Glenn Branch, Deputy Director, National Center for Science Education
"From ethics to epistemology, from the self to the state, from the hormones of love to the heavens above, Massimo Pigliucci's "
