Recensioner i media

“Rechnitzer’s ambitious book carefully traces an application of reflective equilibrium (RE) to advance a novel justification of a precautionary principle. In doing so she provides a means for assessing RE as a (philosophical) procedure.” (Bert Baumgaertner, Ethical Theory and Moral Practice, January 28, 2023)
