Authors and/or publishers kindly sent me these books this month:

Philosophy of Law by Andrei Marmor (Princeton University Press, 2011)

Promises and Agreements:  Philosophical Essays edited by Hanoch Sheinman (Oxford University Press, 2011)

Licensing Parents:  Family, State, and Child Maltreatment by Michael T. McFall (Lexington Books, 2009)

Machiavellian Democracy by John P. McCormick (Cambridge University Press, 2011).  This book is by a political theory colleague here at the University of Chicago, that I was fortunate to read in manuscript.  It is an extremely interesting revisionary view of Machiavelli, from which philosophers concerned with Machiavelli (or Marx) will greatly profit.

Intuition, Imagination, and Philosophical Methodology by Tamar Szabo Gendler (Oxford University Press, 2011).
