Editorial Reviews: 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 UniversityReview 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 About the Author Jonathan Wolff is Dean of Arts and Humanities and Professor of Philosophy at University College London. His work has largely concentrated on issues of distributive justice, with a particular interest in the relationship between theory and policy.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐It arrived early which was nice, but I paid full price for a new book, not used, and it arrived with a brown stain on the front and back.

⭐The book focuses on political philosophy from Hobbes to the present with a brief nod to Plato. It is arranged by topic (state of nature, justifying the state, liberty, justice, etc.) rather than by thinker, which has its advantages. The last chapter “Justice for Everyone, Everywhere?” tries to pay homage to virtually every identity politics concern of current “progressive liberalism” (as the author terms it), but, unfortunately, provides only limited coverage of the criticisms. It’s frustrating that there are so few texts like this to choose from.

⭐Perfect condition!

⭐Purchased for school

⭐Great book for anyone wanting to understand some of the basic philosophical questions.

⭐Neat book

⭐Somewhat dry writing style.

⭐A good, easy-to-follow and engaging discussion of central themes in political philosophy. I much enjoyed it.

⭐so well written – one continuous line of thought from beginning to end (pretty much) – that it helps as much in the classroom as an introduction to philosophical argument as it does as an introduction to post-Hobbesian political philosophy. an exceptional book.

⭐Clearly written and organised. I read it in one go, unlike any book.Good printing and binding.

⭐An outstanding introduction to the subject. The author has a very relaxed writing style that enables you to absorb the points being made. Would strongly recommend

⭐As described

⭐Very good quality
