Will Kymlicka
Non-Fiction
"By far the best introduction to contemporary philosophy currently available." "[The book] represents a significant milestone in the renaissance of political philosophy...one of the first high-level surveys of the key lines of development in this renaissance, integrating diverse schools of thought and their literature in an enormously helpful way...For a higher level undergraduate or graduate course on contemporary political philosophy it would be ideal. Moreover, it is a serious work in political philosophy deserving the attention and respect of the mature political-philosophical community." "It should become a core text in graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in contemporary political theory...Kymlicka has given us a book that is highly intelligent, clear, readable, and focused on crucial issues -- and sometimes brilliant."
