Review
"This is one of the very best introductions to political philosophy. It is informal yet in no way dumbed down, and it conveys the importance and interest of political philosophy to students."
--James Hampshire, University of Sussex
"This is an excellent undergraduate introductory text because of the admirable clarity, elegance, and accessibility of its prose. The book is very well conceived and covers the most important figures and problems in a deft and thoughtful manner."
--James Skidmore, Idaho State University
Review from previous edition: "While not unduly demanding even for 1st year undergraduates, the book is consistently thought-provoking, and demonstrates the relevance of political philosophy for an understanding of contemporary issues... All credit to the author, who emerges as the sort of
person who would be welcome at anyone`s dinner party."
--Mark Garnett, Lancaster University
