Riassunto

This book traces the progress of the liberal/communitarian debate. Beginning with an account of John Rawls's A Theory of Justice, it goes on to provide clear presentations of the work of the main communitarians - Michael Sandel, Alisdair MacIntyre, Charles Taylor and Michael Walzer.
Clear and accessible in style, with a guiding agenda of themes and issues, this book is an indispensable aid to students of contemporary political theory.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"An admirably clear exposition of the main protagonists in the liberalism–communitarianism debate. Mulhall and Swift provide a valuable service by identifying the various issues in the debate, and by separating out the substance from the rhetoric on both sides" Will Kymlicka, author of Liberalism, Community and Culture

"Their approach is author–based and aimed at the new student. It is clearly written, accessible, and can be recommended with confidence to new students." Political Studies

"An excellent supplementary text for upper–level undergraduate contemporary political philosophy classes." American Library Association

L'autore:
