Critical Acclaim
‘If one were to read each volume from cover to cover – all 1922 pages – one would have a substantial guide to liberalism as a philosophical tradition and to the current debates and controversies that have preoccupied contemporary political theorists in defending the philosophical legacy of Locke, Kant, Bentham, J.S. Mill, Spencer and Hobhouse.’
