"Engaging Political Philosophy is recommended for teachers
wanting to learn with students willing to discover. This scholarly
text sheds fresh light on enduring political issues and stimulates
readers to become intellectually and politically engaged with
primary sources. It proves that teaching the classics of modern
political philosophy is alive and well." Thomas W Simon,
Illinois State University
"Levin's collection would be a fine supplement to an advanced
survey course in modern political philosophy. It would also provide
particularly valuable insights for nonspecialists preparing to
teach such a course." Ethics, October 2003
