Review
The latest edition of The Individual and the Political Order is ideally suited for most undergraduate courses in social and political philosophy. The book provides a well-written, up-to-date, fair, and reasonably thorough introduction to the major contemporary issues in this important area. I look forward to using it in my classes. (Alan E. Fuchs )
This is an excellent choice for undergraduate courses in political philosophy that are oriented towards problems, isues, or concepts. It covers most of the major issues and does so clearly and sensibly. (Wertheimer, Alan )

This review is from: The Individual and the Political Order: An Introduction to Social and Political Philosophy (Paperback)
While there are certainly sources that better engage the meat of social and political philosophy, this is a good introduction. First-year debaters should start here, and use this as a springboard for more in-depth readings on specific issues or by specific theorists.
This is an excellent first guide. My copy is well-worn and much-loved.

THE LD Debate textbook,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Individual and the Political Order: An Introduction to Social and Political Philosophy (Paperback)
High school debate students who are just starting out would be well served to pick up a copy of this book. It is a terrific background source for a wide variety of philosophical concepts that are often used in competitive Lincoln-Douglas debate. It is important not to use this book as a primary source of evidence, but merely as a text to gain understanding of the philosophy in the vernacular. In conjunction with Scott Robinson's "L-D Road Guide", this book is a terrific tool for novice debaters.
