Publisher Synopsis
[C]learly written and well structured book ... Achievement is a refreshing and exciting book that explores a severely overlooked topic in such a way that allows a wide variety of audiences to engage with it ... the innovative arguments produced in this book will be sure to provoke subsequent work in this interesting area. * Patrick Hassan, Social Theory and Practice * Bradford's book is an original and impressive contribution to the literature on human values. * Hasko von Kriegstein, Ethics * ... the book is a worthy attempt at illuminating a topic that has thus far been neglected. It will surely be the starting point for future discussions of achievement. * Eden Lin, Analysis * Bradford thinks very lucidly ... this book is a welcome contribution to the philosophical discussion of value in human life. I hope it has a refreshing effect on it. * Nomy Arpaly, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online * Read more...
