Reviews
'Political Criticism and Human Dignity is an ambitious, scholarly examination of the interrelated ideas of human dignity and respect, and the mainstream political theory that has come to depend on these ideas. Its conclusions will challenge those already invested in traditional liberal, especially Rawlsian theory to rethink some of their most basic assumptions.' Remy Debes, University of Memphis
