Media Reviews

'Moral and Political Philosophy is an excellent introductory text that will engage students in a refreshing way to a wide range of important topics.' - Thom Brooks, University of Newcastle, UK

'Paul Smith's excellent book offers concise but penetrating discussions of some of the central issues in moral and political philosophy. Smith provides an informative introduction to the main arguments, and it is clear that he knows the issues very well. Chapters can be treated as stand-alone discussions or combined to give a deeper understanding of how the issues connect. Overall this book is one that teachers and students will find very helpful.' - Christopher Bennett, University of Sheffield, UK
