Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: A brilliant introduction - Jonathan Wolff's introduction to political philosophy is by far the superior of all within its kind. Whilst many introductions to philosophy tend to overlook political and social philosophies, Wolff provides a sweeping and impartial review of the main debates in political philosophy through a series of intriguing and engaging questions. This unusual structure is one of the highlights of this peerless work; it maintains an interesting atmosphere of intellectual curiosity and provides an arena for the contention of different views. Furthermore, it allows for a development of political philosophy from the ground up; a real and unmissable novelty. Another feature of this work, which I have heard offered as a criticism, is a lack of decisive conclusion; Wolff remains entirely objective in his treatment of the arguments and his indecision is one of the many highlights of this work. This is most eminent in his conclusion to the book itself, in which he claims that despite a lack of answers, we ought to continue to practice our political philosophising. In writing this review, I must confess, I endeavour to remain objective in my dealing with the work and have tried to find grounds to criticise it. However, there is nothing in this work which I find I can provide negative report of, at least without making trivial or unfounded attacks. Overall, this is by far the greatest introduction available and one which is entirely deserving of its great reputation. Review: Perfect synopsis of the main political philosophers and arguments - This book proved ideal for my undergraduate module in Political Philosophy, I would recommend to any fellow students. It is very comprehensive while remaining crystal clear. It explains a variety of approaches within each chapter, tackling one issue at a time. As you progress, links are made with previous arguments that have arose. Personally I did not think I would enjoy reading a book on Political Philosophy, however I was nicely surprised about the fluidity and ease of the language, sparking a real interest. I breezed through the book in a matter of days. Serves as a good study/revision book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 412,091 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 209 in Introduction to Philosophy 468 in Academic Philosophy 9,024 in Other Reference by Subject | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (84) | | Dimensions | 21.34 x 1.27 x 13.46 cm | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 019929609X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0199296095 | | Item weight | 295 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 240 pages | | Publication date | 23 Mar. 2006 | | Publisher | Oxford University Press, U.S.A. | ## Images ![An Introduction to Political Philosophy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810uDw4aIeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A brilliant introduction *by L***M on 20 January 2013* Jonathan Wolff's introduction to political philosophy is by far the superior of all within its kind.
