Review :
'This excellent textbook covers an impressive range of material with admirable clarity and concision. The structure of Lacewing's exposition is such as to secure the central points, and then to provide readers with opportunities to 'go further'- to venture more deeply and to explore topics in more detail. Highly pertinent use is made of a wealth of argumentation and illustration drawn from relevant anthologised textual sources. In addition, there are helpful syllabus checklists, chapter summaries, and well-chosen questions throughout. An invaluable guide.' Dr. Paul Dawson, Head of Philosophy at King Alfred's School and Teacher of Philosophy at University College School, UK 'Philosophy forA2 has all the virtues that teachers and students have come to expect from Lacewing. It is crystal clear, accurate and authoritative. It is very difficult to find a Philosophy textbook which is truly accessible to sixth form students and equally acceptable to professional philosophers. But this book is surely both. The hard pressed teacher will find here a resource that he or she can completely trust and rely upon. The student will find a text which is written in a clear, intelligible and engaging style. This is a model textbook and every school sixth form should possess at least one class set.' Geoff Willis, Senior Area Leader for Humanities, Literature and Languages, City of Stoke-on-Trent Sixth Form College, UK 'Accessible for students at different levels and invaluable for teachers who want to ensure they cover all the relevant material for the new syllabus. Clear summaries of the main arguments and concise explanations of key extracts from the anthology make this textbook an essential resource for anyone taking the new A2 AQA Philosophy qualification.' Agnes Orosz, A Level Philosophy Teacher, UCL Academy, UK
