Illuminating and provocative in equal measure, this fine collection of essays captures countless facets of one of the most refreshingly heterodox intellectuals of our time.

In Jordan Peterson: Critical Responses, a remarkably broad range of writers compare and contrast Peterson’s thought with that of notables ranging from Karl Marx (Gordon and Tang) to Marcus Aurelius (Sandra Woien). Those looking for uncritical praise or debunking of the pronoun-reluctant Canuck should look elsewhere, but readers interested in a genuinely broad range of responses to a highly relevant contemporary thinker may have found an important text

Most often, Jordan Peterson is either lauded as a hero or condemned as a villain. In contrast, Sandra Woien has assembled a fine collection of essays that take Peterson’s work very seriously and provide intelligent critiques. Both fans and foes of Peterson will appreciate this volume.

Sam Harris is one of the world’s most provocative and exciting thinkers and this volume is an essential contribution to the debate over his ideas. I highly recommend it.

This is a delightful collection of well-wrought essays about a public intellectual whose notoriety rests
on many ill-conceived ideas.

As with Jordan Peterson, if you mention the name ‘Sam Harris’ in academic company, you invite
snickers and sneers. Yet as this volume shows, popularity with the public is by no means a sign of shallow thinking, but often indicates deep engagement with philosophy as a way of life. Sam Harris’s
fans and critics alike should take notice.
