Riassunto

Current Controversies in Political Philosophy brings together an international team of leading philosophers to explore and debate four key and dynamic issues in the field in an accessible way.

Should we all be cosmopolitans? – Gillian Brock and Cara Nine

Are rights important? – Rowan Cruft and Sonu Bedi

Is sexual objectification wrong and, if so, why? – Lina Papadaki and Scott Anderson

What to do about climate change? – Alexa Zellentin and Thom Brooks

These questions are the focus of intense debate. Preliminary chapter descriptions, bibliographies following each chapter, and annotated guides to supplemental readings help provide clearer and richer snapshots of active controversy for all readers.
