"A bold, creative, provocative, ingenious and important book that will be of tremendous interest to students and teachers of ethical, political and environmental philosophy." - John Seery, Pomona College, California "An excellent and hugely innovative introduction to political philosophy. By asking readers to imagine what our political philosophy might look like to members of a broken future, the book challenges many assumptions about resources and future generations that are implicit yet central to much contemporary political philosophy. The book offers a truly unique perspective, and will be a great benefit to students and teachers.A" - Jonathan Quong, University of Manchester "Mulgan offers a vivid way to bring out the con tingency and context-dependence of our present way of thinking." - The Cambridge Humanities Review "A proclaimed break with the profound anthropocentrism of philosophy of the modern age - opens the thought of what philosophy and ethics might become if it were to create a genealogy of the future." - Year's Work in Critical Cultural Theory 2013
