Reviews

'Mary Warnock's Critical Reflections on Ownership is a sustained meditation on the significance that ownership has for us from one our finest philosophical voices. First exploring the responsibility and love we have for things that are owned, she goes on to provide a penetrating investigation of the relationship we have to those things which we do not, indeed cannot, own, in particular the natural world. Critical Reflections on Ownership is required reading for anyone who wants to think deeply, and clearly, about the prospect of a global environmental cataclysm and what we might do to address it.'- J E Penner, author of The Idea of Property in Law
