“With Philosophy and Political Engagement: Reflection in the Public Sphere, Allyn Fives and Keith Breen present to us … a timely and impressive set of reflections upon the practical and political role for philosophy and ethics both within and beyond the campus bounds. … No doubt this volume will be of interest to students and scholars in the fields of philosophy (both analytic and continental), social and political theory and the humanities and social sciences more broadly.” (Liam Farrell, Ethical Theory and Moral Practice, Vol. 21 (94), 2018)
