Reviews
The virtue of these deceptively brief books is that they are the real thing * Evening Standard *
The books should improve the cultural circulation of philosophy by their style as well as their substance * TES *
A promising venture * The Times *
If you want to acquire some first-hand experience of philosophy and democracy you would do well to read this welcome series * Times Higher Educational Supplement *
One can stumble into philosophy in the course of any activity - reading novels, doing maths, bringing up children, fighting wars. Such an inclusive conception of philosophy lies behind this collection edited by Ray Monk and Frederic Raphael, who are both more than philosophers * New Statesman *
