«The publication of ‘Anglo-American Idealism; Thinkers and Ideas’ is timely. Considering the increasing time allocated to the philosophy and history of British Idealism in university curricula (...), the volume will interest both advanced undergraduates and graduates. An interested reader will doubtless find more than a single chapter instructive. Not only will students of Anglo-American Idealism find the volume essential reading, but also political theorists and intellectual historians will be able to consult (...) the engaging discussions of the volume.» (Antis Loizides, Political Studies Review)«This edited volume provides an insightful and informative perspective on all aspects of contemporary concern with idealist philosophy. [...] The volume is a welcome addition to the expanding literature on idealism and is particularly helpful in displaying its variety and inter-connectedness, along with its impact and relevance to today.» (Richard Murphy, Philosophy in Review XXXII, 04/2012)«‘Anglo-American Idealism – Thinkers and Ideas’ is an excellent introduction to contemporary idealism, and has an ample scope for exegesis in the classroom. The kind of careful work exhibited here will open up latent currents of thought and develop intuition at the historical as well as the personal level, not only for students of idealism but also for those (...) interested in the fullest extensions of the Platonic paradigm.» (Alastair Beattie, Interchange 04/2014)
