5.0 out of 5 stars interesting articles, very good preface, September 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Communitarianism and Individualism (Oxford Readings in Politics and Government) (Paperback)

This is a very handy starting point to anyone interested in today's political philosophy. The articles are probably the most important of their kind - Rawls, Sandel, Dworkin etc. The only really important scholar missing is Raz, but you can't have it all. The subjects are all important - the limits of the liberal ethics, what it means to be a part of a community, etc. The only thing lacking here are some examples as to the relevance of all this to political day to day life, but this is a critique against the debate itself, not against the volume. the preface by Avineri and de-Shalit is very good and comprehensive, and deserves the many quotations it got. Highly recommended to anyone who is into political philosophy.
