'A Theory of Freedom is full of fresh and stimulating
arguments on all the topics addressed, and draws useful and
interesting connections between issues that are ordinarily treated
in isolation from each other. It displays an almost breathtaking
elegance of conception.' R. Jay Wallace, Department of
Philosophy, University of California at Berkeley
"Pettit's work is, as can be expected from the author, full of
incisive comments and enlightening observations, woven together in
ingenious ways, and deserves to be read by any serious student of
metaphysical or political freedom." Mind
"A Theory of Freedom and Government (1997) has been described by
many as 'landmark work' on the republican model of political life.
Even if he had only done this work Pettit's intellectual
achievement would be considerable". Acta Politica
"Pettit argues his case engagingly and this book deserves a wide audience. Pettit provides a concise and accomplished volume which in large part achieves its aim and should be of interest to both domestic and international political theorists". Kirsten Ainley
