About The Cambridge Rawls Lexicon
Review This is a very useful book. ... The scholarship is high, practically all of the essays are valuable and useful, and many of them are genuinely stimulating and thought-provoking. ... The editors state it as their goal to enable students and scholars to better distinguish what is debateable from what is not and to try to bring the latter more fully to bear on the former. The plan is wisely framed and skilfully executed. ... Readers of the volume cannot fail to deepen their understanding. Nigel Simmonds, Cambridge University, Cambridge Law Journal.This volume is a must-have for libraries that serve academic programs in ethics, internationalrelations, law, philosophy, or political science. The editors deserve thanks for giving readers a convenient resource forgaining a deeper appreciation of Rawlsian terms and ideas. Summing Up: Essential. All academic levels. --M. W.
