Reviews of Gillian Rose: A Good Enough Justice

"For a multifaceted engagement with Rose's ideas which goes beyond the concept of impiety, however, Schick's Gillian Rose is the book to turn to. Rose's demanding oeuvre has suffered from an undue neglect which Schick's refined book will hopefully go some way to remedying. Gillian Rose provides a clear and persuasive argument for Rose's continuing relevance in relation to debates about trauma and how to respond to it."–Nicholas Chare, University of Melbourne, The Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory"Schick's account is an engaging presentation of Rose's thought addressed to readers new to her work … Gillian Rose: A Good Enough Justice provides evidence of the singular power of attraction of Rose's thought in its capacity to think through the dualisms conditioning social-political actuality and to afford resources for ethical action."–Radical Philosophy"What Schick achieves in 130 pages is impressive. She offers an exposition of Rose's thought, grounds it in its formative philosophical influences and sets it in conversation with problems in contemporary political philosophy. And she does this cogently, without significantly sacrificing breadth or depth … Schick's work is a compelling invitation to read more Gillian Rose."–LSE Review of Books
