the liveliest and most accessible introduction to the intensely important debate between liberals and communitarians that has yet appearedFor that reason alone--and quite apart from its persuasive advocacy of the communitarian cause--his book is very welcome: it will engage anyone torn between the rival claims of community and personal freedom in modern life, which, of course, is all of us. * Guardian *
A clear and very readable, indeed enjoyable, piece of writing. The dialogue form is used skilfully to bring the communitarian position to life and to give an overview of the debate between it and liberalism which is central to current social philosophy. * Times Higher Education Supplement *
