'Although politics and politicians have dismal reputations, we need to take political philosophy seriously. Jonathan Floyd does so by addressing the overarching question "How ought we to live?" in a conversational tone and by engaging with serious political thinkers, past and present.'
Onora O'Neill, University of Cambridge
'This book makes a passionate and compelling case for the importance of political philosophy. Floyd tells us not only what it is to do political philosophy but why we ought to want to do it in the first place.'
Matt Sleat, University of Sheffield
