Rezensionen

'Michael Lacewing has a talent of making complex concepts accessible to a range of students with his 'student-friendly' style. His materials are concise, thorough and prepare students well for their examinations. His book has a clear layout and is appropriate for the specification.'

Karen S. Ackerman, Alleyns School, UK

'Philosophy for A-Level is a clear and lucid account that directly links and covers the new A-Level specification. The content is challenging but so well organised that it guides the students through some of the most difficult metaphysical questions in Philosophy. It will be a valuable resource for student and teacher.'

Amanda Forshaw, Head of Humanities, Woodhouse College, UK
