Description

Since its publication in 1965, Brian Barry's seminal Political Argument has become a cornerstone of Anglo-American political philosophy and earned its place in the Routledge Revivals collection. The work introduced fundamental concepts that shaped contemporary political discourse, including the distinction between ideal-regarding and want-regarding principles, and the division of principles into aggregative and distributive categories. Barry's precise analysis of political values and their trade-off relations remains influential, whilst his examination of the public interest concept continues to inform philosophical and political debate. This foundational text remains essential reading for students and scholars of political philosophy, political theory, and the history of Anglo-American philosophy seeking to understand the intellectual foundations of modern political thought.

Key Features

Political Argument examines the distinction between ideal-regarding and want-regarding principles, concepts that became standard vocabulary in political philosophy.

Barry's analysis divides principles into aggregative and distributive categories, providing a framework for understanding different approaches to political values.

The work offers the first precise analysis of how political values maintain trade-off relations, a concept central to policy-making and ethical reasoning.

Political Argument's treatment of the public interest has proven significant to subsequent political and philosophical scholarship since 1965.

This Routledge Revivals edition preserves Barry's seminal contribution to the revival of Anglo-American political philosophy and contemporary political theory.
