Recenzje

'Seumas Miller has written a necessary book for our current political era. Institutional Corruption: A Study in Applied Philosophy offers a philosophical taxonomy and diagnostic for what is probably the most intractable problem in human politics, the corruption of public and private institutions … The most important and most radical concept in his creative work here is that of joint rights … The concept of joint rights is … a powerful rebuke to the dominant concept in the thinking of many contemporary politicians, state leaders, and the corporate barons who lobby them: that a right can be held and manifest only by an individual.' Adam Riggio, Social Epistemology Review and Reply Collective
