From where I copied it from, It seems to be satire.
Finally, a correct answer within the context.

As for the Academia.edu link, it doesn’t seem like premium will provide the PDF, that’s just premium membership. The actual PDFs are governed by individual authors. Seems that author uploaded a preview of the book perhaps to indicate that they contributed to it so it counts as a citation.

We’ll see. Buying the book seems prohibitive though. It’s highway robbery prices.

Issues in Political Theory (4th edn, 2019)

Rethinking political thinkers (1st edn, 2023)
Yes, I’m aware Issues has pirated versions of earlier editions available, I have those already. I’m hoping for the latest version.
