Description

Explore the complex relationship between theoretical ideals and practical reality in Virtuous Imbalance: Political Philosophy between Desirability and Feasibility. Published by Routledge, this scholarly work addresses a fundamental question in the field: what methodology should political philosophy use to satisfy both its theoretical and practical commitments? Francesca Pasquali provides a deep analysis by examining three major paradigms that have shaped political thought. The text investigates John Rawls's realistic utopianism, Machiavelli's realism, and Plato's utopianism. By looking at these distinct approaches, the book seeks to explain how political philosophy attempts to navigate the tension between what is desirable and what is actually feasible. This book serves as a rigorous investigation into the methodology required to reach an equilibrium between these two competing demands. It is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the foundational structures of political thought and the methodologies used to bridge the gap between ideal theory and political practice.
