'By exploring the work of Arendt, Berger, Said and Nussbaum, Jon Nixon offers an excellent analysis on the epistemological and ethical implications of their contributions to the nature of interpretation as well as education. He provides a rich and much-needed conceptual framework for a pedagogical practice at the university, suited to the challenges of globalisation and the further development of democracy in the present and future.'
