Editorial Reviews
Review
“We very much need a smart Sociology of Morality, but amazingly it does not exist. Steven Hitlin is one of the most promising young scholars in the discipline who is seeking to correct that problem. Moral Selves, Evil Selves is a crucial contribution to the development of this obviously needed field.” – Christian Smith, author of Moral, Believing Animals (Oxford 2003)
