Peg is also the author of "Life on the Rocks: Finding Meaning in Addiction and Recovery" (Central Recovery Press, 2016), "Morality and Our Complicated Form of Life: Feminist" Wittgensteinian Metaethics (Penn State, 2008), and "Oppression and Responsibility: A Wittgensteinian Approach to Social Practices and Moral Theory" (Penn State, 2002).
