This fascinating fictional account introduces the reader to key ideas in social and political philosophy. It provides key skills of philosophical investigation in an accessible and rigorous yet light-hearted way. The novel is comical, informative, and entertaining, allowing students to experience often complex ideas from the 'inside' by using skills that they will have acquired unconsciously from films, television series, and novels. The book examines the concepts of freedom, responsibility, justice, and fairness and it shows how these are played out in different utopian futures of a range of socio-political regimes. Voyage to Utopias is written in a way that will capture the imagination, while linking to readers' own lives while also encouraging critical and comparative thinking. The book also includes supporting material for both students and teachers. Media >, [PU: The Policy Press]<
