The Bloomsbury Companion to Political Philosophy: Bloomsbury Companions

Editat de Andrew Fiala
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 feb 2017
The Bloomsbury Companion to Political Philosophy is the definitive guide to contemporary political philosophy. The book covers all the most pressing and important themes and categories in the field - areas that have continued to attract interest historically as well as topics that have emerged more recently as active areas of research. Fourteen specially commissioned essays from an international team of experts, including Eduardo Mendieta and Gillian Brock, reveal where important work continues to be done in the area and, most valuably, the exciting new directions the field is taking. The Companion explores a range of issues from the nature and history of political philosophy, sovereignty, distributive justice, democratic theory, feminist theory, to toleration, human rights, immigration, cosmopolitanism, peace, war, and the challenge of Eurocentrism in political philosophy. Featuring a series of indispensable research tools, including an A to Z of key terms and concepts, a chronology, a detailed list of resources, and a fully annotated bibliography, this is the essential reference tool for anyone researching or working in political philosophy.

Recenzii

[T]he essays are mutually exclusive and collectively comprehensive, showing intelligent editorial coordination ... Historiographically, they are helpful in revealing and discussing not only perennial and current themes in political philosophy ... but they also pick up on embedded issues like contingency and objectivity, open up traditional issues to the new global order of things ... [and] demonstrate how current work needs to break out of traditional jelly-moulds.
This comprehensive volume provides a major resource for students, with contributions on some of the most important topics in political thought.
This book is superb! With essays that are captivating, timely, and substantive, this volume will be fruitful to both students and professionals. I enthusiastically recommend it.
This welcome collection of new essays help us better understand both where political philosophy has been and where it is going. The arguments of the essays are also nicely interrelated, thus challenging us to work out our own view as we read though the volume.
