Reviews for Utopophobia: On the Limits (If Any) of Political Philosophy

This is a major, exciting contribution to contemporary debates within political philosophy regarding ideal theory. A leading and influential contributor to these debates, Estlund presents a sustained, powerful argument for the soundness and value of ideal political philosophy, focusing in particular on ideal conceptions of social justice. -Steven Wall, editor of The Cambridge Companion to Liberalism Utopophobia is absolutely top-notch. No other work offers a systematic, comprehensive treatment of issues in the ideal/nonideal theory debate. Original, engaging, cutting-edge, surprising, and creative, this book will be highly influential-agenda setting, in fact-for subsequent research in the areas of normative political philosophy, value theory, theories of justice, and metaethics. -Robert Talisse, Vanderbilt University
