Summary Annotation <p>John Gray is one of today&acirc;&#128;&#153;s most brilliant, bestselling and controversial political thinkers. This new collection examines him from a variety of stimulating angles. </p><p></p><p>This new volume, comprising original contributions from a number of distinguished political theorists, in addition to a reply by Gray himself,&nbsp;is the first book to systematically review&nbsp; the general significance of his work. He is much cited and discussed within political and social theory, but he also has a much wider audience, being one of those quite rare creatures in British academic life, a public intellectual, writing regularly for the quality press and appearing on both radio and TV. His books sell in large numbers, <em>Straw Dogs</em>reached the top five in <em>The Sunday Times</em>bestseller list and was very widely reviewed in broadsheets and weeklies. It was extravagantly praised by Will Self and chosen by novelist, Monica Ali as her book of the year.</p><p></p><p>This book was previously published as a special issue of the leading <em>Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy.</em></p>
