Does such ahistoricism render political philosophy too abstract? Is political philosophy thus incapable of dealing with the realities of political life? This volume brings together some of the world's leading political philosophers to address these crucial questions. The contributors focus especially on political philosophy's pretensions to universality and on its strained relationship with the world of real politics. Some chapters argue that political philosophers should not be cowed by the accusations levied against them from outside of their own field. Others insist that these accusations require a dramatic reshaping of normative political thought. The volume will spark controversy across political philosophy and beyond.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 226mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 360gContributor: Jonathan Floyd (Edited by), Marc Stears (Edited by)Genre: Philosophy & SpiritualityTopic: Law & PoliticsAuthor: Jonathan FloydRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
