“The book is a success. It is an informing, critical and balanced assessment of Geras’ philosophical excursions, if nothing else. … Norman Geras’s Political Thought from Marxism To Human Rights does exactly what it says on the cover, and perhaps that is all we might ask of it.” (William Hebblewhite, Marx and Philosophy, marxandphilosophy.org.uk, March 16, 2021)
