Polemical Papers

’Jenny Teichman is a clear-eyed  philosophical polemicist who elegantly deconstructs many fashionable shibboleths, from euthanasia, abortion and Å’regenerative¹ cloning to free speech, moral relativism  --- and deconstruction itself.’ Peter Coleman , writer and editor. ’Jenny Teichman’s polemics are written with wit, gusto and a sinewy good sense. She is not afraid to take on big names, or to deal with big issues. She has a talent for puncturing the pretensions of highly reputable thinkers and even where her victims’ intellects match their reputations, she is still able to land some well-placed blows. There is much amusement to be derived from this book, and also much instruction.’ Nicholas Denyer, Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge ’...contains some of her witty and trenchant pieces and will be relished by connoisseurs.’ Jane Heal, Fellow of St John’s College, Cambridge ’...Teichman’s essays are models of philosophical sophistication and moral intelligence... It is one of Teichman’s great gifts as a philosopher to be able to write clearly not only about technical philosophical matters but also things that people actually care about.’ The American Spectator
