John Rawls: His Life and Theory of Justice
"There is a big need for a brief but well-informed study of Rawls for students and other beginners, complete with a bit of biographical information. Pogge's book is ideal. It is popular without being inaccurate. Pogge is as knowledgeable about Rawls's work as anyone could be, and he is a clear writer and a rigorous thinker."--Thomas Nagel, New York University"Pogge possesses a keen sense of the strengths and weaknesses of Rawls's philosophical project. Pogge enables readers to appreciate the personal context that informs Rawls's work. Essential."--E.J. Harpham,Choice"The book is indeed a pleasure to read; serious, clear, substantial, and sensible: it is for me the exemplar of what a book in philosophy ought to be today."--Rudiger Bittner, University of Bielefeld (on the German edition)"Overall, this might well rank as the most extensive and philosophically probing exposition of Rawls's political philosophy yet produced."--Arthur Kuflik,Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
