His book succeeds in recovering the idea of a university, and does so in a compelling and lucid way.

Gordon Jonson, TLS.

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Utility (2006)

Christopher Toner, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews.
sample chapter Charles Kenny, 'The Economics of Dignity'

Liberalism, Education and Schooling Essays by T.M. McLughlin (2008)
Edited by D. Carr, M. Halstead and R. Pring.

"Terry McLaughlin managed to bring clarity into complex issues of educational concern without losing the subtlety of the argument. He was one of the best exponents of the analytic tradition in philosophy of education, in part because his analysis was always informed by a depth of both scholarship and personal understanding. His many admirers across the world will be delighted to see so much of his central work brought together for the first time in this collection" - David Bridges, University of Cambridge.
sample chapter Terry McLaughlin, 'Education of the Whole Child'

The Landscape of Humanity (2008)
by Anthony O'Hear

"In The Landscape of Humanity, O'Hear is at his best as critic. His examination of individual artworks is perceptive and his analysis of Popper's "open society" will surely be met with interest by Popper fans. I was particularly appreciative of his criticism of a currently prevailing way of approaching and presenting classical works to modern readers and audiences in "To Swim with Strong Strokes in the Lake of Antique Poetry".
Ásta Kristjana Sveinsdóttir, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
sample chapter Anthony O'Hear, 'Art and Censorship'

Faith in a Hard Ground: Essays By GEM. Anscombe
edited by Mary Geach and Luke Gormally

"This is an excellent and unusually rewarding book. It contains twenty-two papers. On every topic Anscombe has something important to say, characteristically something that badly needed saying both when she wrote and now. Their peculiar interest lies in the way in which philosophical considerations are brought to bear on theological issues and theological on philosophical".
Alasdair MacIntyre, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
sample chapter Elizabeth Anscombe, 'Paganism, Superstition and Philosophy'

Subjectivity and Being Somebody (2008)
by Grant Gillett

"This is an ambitious and wide-ranging book. Gillett is not afraid to be more personal, and to display more passion, than most recent academic philosophers would allow themselves. He makes good use of literary references and quotations to clarify and reinforce his arguments, and shows a refreshing disregard for the conventional distinction between ‘analytic’ and ‘Continental’ philosophy".
Eric Matthews, Analysis
sample chapter Grant Gillett, 'Metaphysical Subjectivity'

Understanding Faith: Religious Belief and its Place in Society (2009)
by Stephen R.L. Clark

"very erudite without being ponderous. Clark writes in an accessible, conversational style that is not affected by the copious references in the many footnotes And he discusses a great many interesting subjects."
Robert Deltete, Philosophy in Review
sample chapter Stephen Clark, 'Can Animals be our Friends?'

Practical Philosophy: Ethics, Society and Culture (2009) by John Haldane

"This book reminds me why I chose to study philosophy in the first instance.  It is refreshing to read such an accessible book which is takes ethics as its central focus and develops a range of arguments about the importance of ethics to daily life in our societies and cultures.  The feeling one gets is of sitting and listening to an experienced philosopher explaining questions across a range of issues".
Erich von Dietze, Metapsychology
sample chapter John Haldane, 'Ethics and the Human Body'

Sensibility and Sense: The Aesthetic Transformation of the Human World (2010)
by Arnold Berleant

"[Sensibility and Sense] continues, recapitulates, reformulates, and extends the analysis of his earlier work. It exemplifies the prime characteristics of all of Berleant's earlier work: engaged curiousity, scope of interests, depth of concern, and theoretical precision"
Robert Innis, The Pluralist
sample chapter Arnold Berleant, 'The Soft Side of Stone'

The Philosophy of Punishment (2012)
by Anthony Ellis
