Routledge Political Philosophy in the Twenty-First Century: Essential Essays

Moving beyond the work of Rawls and his critics, this concise collection contains critical essays in contemporary political philosophy. All have been chosen for their importance and accessibility, and some have been edited by their authors for inclusion in this work. Political Philosophy in the Twenty-First Century covers five main topics: equality, justice, liberty, democracy, and human rights. To assist readers, the editors have also provided section introduction and study questions as well as an overall introduction explaining the background to contemporary work in political philosophy. Beginning where most other anthologies in political philosophy conclude, this book can be used alone or in conjunction with any collection of historical sources. Review "An excellent collection." -- Teaching Philosophy "An outstanding collection of cutting-edge work in contemporary political philosophy, with a great introductory essay that gives students the background necessary to engage with the excellent essays in the book." -- Nicole Hassoun, Carnegie Mellon University "Cahn and Talisse have compiled some excellent essays from an impressive array of contemporary political theorists. This book would be a fine text for an upper-level undergraduate course in political philosophy." -- J. Caleb Clanton, Pepperdine University "This volume brings together fifteen essays at the leading edge of contemporary political philosophy. The thinkers represented here are first-rate; the articles Cahn and Talisse have included have not only contributed to five of the most vibrant areas in the discipline, but in many cases are responsible for their ferment. Scholars of the subject will be glad to have these pieces made so readily available. Teachers will find that they can easily structure a major- or graduate-level course around the contents of this exceptionally useful anthology." -- Paul Weithman, University of Notre Dame An excellent collection.
