Editorial Reviews

Review

"'In Thinking Politically, David Miller has brought together sixteen of Walzer's best essays from 1973... This is a splendid collection; much more coherent than most, bound together by Walzer's theme of respect for political community... The essays do justice to both words in its title: they address the enduring issues of political theory, but they also engage that thinking with the political issues of the day.' Jeremy Waldron, New York Review of Books" --This text refers to the Paperback edition.


Product Description

Michael Walzer is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading political theorists. In a career spanning more than fifty years, he has wrestled with some of the most crucial political ideas and questions of the day, developing original conceptions of democracy, social justice, liberalism, civil society, nationalism, multiculturalism, and terrorism. 

 

Thinking Politically brings together some of Walzer’s most important work to provide a wide-ranging survey of his thinking and the vision that underlies his responses to contemporary political debates. The book also includes a previously unpublished essay on human rights. David Miller’s substantial introduction presents a detailed analysis of the development of Walzer’s ideas and connects them to wider currents of political thought. In addition, the book includes a recent interview with Walzer on a range of topical issues, and a detailed bibliography of his works.

 

This collection will be welcomed by scholars in politics and philosophy, as well as anyone keen to engage in discussion on some of the key issues of our times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazon has it backwards: Walzer wrote the essays; Miller selected them., December 26, 2007
By David A. Guberman (Newton, Mass.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having just bought Thinking Politically, I can't say yet whether it lives up to my high expectations. My reason for writing is that Amazon errs in listing David Miller as an author or co-author. Thinking Politically is a collection of essays by Michael Walzer, the best university teacher I ever had. David Miller selected the essays for publication and wrote the introduction.

As I seem to need to rate the book in order to publish the above comment, I'm relying on my familiarity with several of Walzer's books, including The Revolution of the Saints: A Study in the Origins of Radical Politics, Obligations: Essays on Disobedience, War, and Citizenship, Spheres of Justice: A Defense of Pluralism and Equality, Just And Unjust Wars: A Moral Argument With Historical Illustrations, and Arguing About War (Yale Nota Bene), as well as his many essays in Dissent magazine.
