Report

Can a philosopher help dig us out of the political hole we're in? In Free and Equal Daniel Chandler makes a robust and inspiring case for the philosophy of John Rawls, dragging his theory of justice down from Harvard's ivory towers and into the street with the people. In clear and impassioned style he returns Rawls to the centre of the conversation, re-establishing his work as a potential agent of radical - and practicable - change . . . a book that is both intellectually rigorous and full of hope Zadie Smith
