[VIa Kris McDaniel on Facebook.] This brilliant review is worth reading in all, but here is a choice-quote: "At times, [Colin] McGinn seems aware of the improbability (or “boldness”) of his claims. He assures us that he puts this theory forward only because “I know of no other theory of the origin and function of disgust that seems to me even remotely plausible.” In a book with all of fourteen citations, only one of them written by a scientist active in the last century (Paul Rozin), it’s little wonder that McGinn is so flummoxed." --Nina Strohminger (a graduate student by the way).
It's not if as if McGinn is known for his generous reviews.
