Reviews

In On Mercy, Malcolm Bull conducts a clever thought experiment on the question of whether mercy might not only be reconciled with justice but could displace it at the centre of our political life -- David A. Skeel * Wall Street Journal * Charmingly erudite and an important work of political philosophy -- Joe Humphreys * Irish Times (for On Mercy) * Highly compelling. Bull is to be congratulated on presenting such a thought-provoking study -- Alexander Marr * Apollo (for Inventing Falsehood, Making Truth) * Stimulating and delightful, subtle and deep -- Taylor Carman * Times Literary Supplement (on Anti-Nietzsche) * All of Bull's studies are utopian, in an oblique, offbeat way. In the spirit of Marx, you must see the future as in a glass darkly so as not to make a fetish of it. He combines a keenly analytical mind with a visionary impulse. It is a style for our times. -- Terry Eagleton * London Review of Books *

All of Bull's studies are utopian, in an oblique, offbeat way. In the spirit of Marx, you must see the future as in a glass darkly so as not to make a fetish of it. He combines a keenly analytical mind with a visionary impulse. It is a style for our times. -Terry Eagleton, London Review of Books
