Media Reviews

A definitive and magnificent version of Rawls's teachings on the history of political philosophy. - Charles Larmore, New Republic There is much quiet pleasure to be drawn from these pages, as well as a great deal of instruction about the terms in which Rawls came to frame his own ethical conceptions and the secular liberalism he believed them to imply. Anyone seriously interested in the development of Rawls's thinking and his sense of the relations between his approach and those of major predecessors in the history of Anglophone liberalism will find the insight it provides on numerous points indispensable. - John Dunn, Times Higher Education Supplement
