Political Philosophy versus History?: Contextualism and Real Politics in Contemp

Description: Political Philosophy versus History? by Jonathan Floyd, Marc Stears Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book brings together leading scholars to discuss what it means to be a political philosopher, how political philosophy should be practised and what the right relationship is between political philosophy, history and real politics. It thus addresses a central debate for all students and scholars of political philosophy. Publisher Description Is the way in which political philosophy is conducted today too ahistorical? 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 worlds leading political philosophers to address these crucial questions. The contributors focus especially on political philosophys 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.
