Table of ContentsReviews'In Institutional Corruption, Miller has offered a critically important engagement with past and ongoing instances of corruption in our institutions, and uses these engagements to offer a theoretically sophisticated (though incredibly clear and engaging) philosophical account. I applaud Miller on this timely work, which will prove to be an important grounding point for the continuing discussions of corruption taking place in our current political climate.' Heather Stewart, Philosophy in Review 'Seumas Miller has written a necessary book for our current political era. Institutional Corruption: A Study in Applied Philosophy offers a philosophical taxonomy and diagnostic for what is probably the most intractable problem in human politics, the corruption of public and private institutions ... The most important and most radical concept in his creative work here is that of joint rights ... The concept of joint rights is ... a powerful rebuke to the dominant concept in the thinking of many contemporary politicians, state leaders, and the corporate barons who lobby them: that a right can be held and manifest only by an individual.' Adam Riggio, Social Epistemology Review and Reply Collective 'In Institutional Corruption, Miller has offered a critically important engagement with past and ongoing instances of corruption in our institutions, and uses these engagements to offer a theoretically sophisticated (though incredibly clear and engaging) philosophical account. I applaud Miller on this timely work, which will prove to be an important grounding point for the continuing discussions of corruption taking place in our current political climate.'
