A compelling, original, subtle and important exploration of a major subject. - Richard English, author of Does Terrorism Work? A History With eloquence, Cassam helps us untangle our thoughts and communicates with a clarity and directness that is unexpected of philosophers and academics. If you want to sort out your thinking about extremism this is a must read. - Gabrielle Rifkind, Group Analyst and Conflict Mediator, author of The Psychology of Political Extremism This book is philosophy at its best. It is deeply empirically informed and supported by a large number of case studies. It shows the direct relevance of rigorous analytic thinking for empirical research and, perhaps even more importantly, for policy based on such research. - Rik Peels, VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands Intellectually fascinating and engaging, this pathbreaking book achieves the difficult task of bridging the gap between students and more expert research-orientated readers. It shows that philosophy has much to offer in understanding the many dimensions of extremism. - Christopher Finlay, Durham University, UK
