Description

Originally published in 1959, this foundational work examines the social principles underlying modern democratic governance and political practice. The authors investigate core concepts essential to welfare states, including law, rights, justice, equality, property, punishment, responsibility and liberty, applying modern philosophical techniques to illuminate enduring questions in political thought. The book addresses fundamental problems at the intersection of philosophy and political science, offering lucid analysis of how democratic institutions embody and protect social values. Recognised by the Times Educational Supplement as an important contribution likely to influence political philosophy discourse, this Routledge Library Editions reprint makes a seminal political science text accessible to contemporary readers studying democratic theory, political philosophy and the philosophical foundations of modern governance.
