Editorial Reviews

Review

'A lively, accessible and engaging read. Comprehensive and well organized, it provides an updated account of key concepts in contemporary political philosophy, and highlights their relevance to political life in the 21st century. A valuable book for anyone taking their first steps in the world of political philosophy, or anyone who seeks to understand the normative challenges faced by our society today.'―Dr Avia Pasternak, Lecturer in Political Theory, University of Essex.

'Written in a clear and accessible style, it is an engaging introduction for those who are new to political philosophy and wish to think through some of its most important questions. In addition to offering outlines of key arguments, each chapter also contains a summary of main concepts, self-test questions, a wonderful selection of quotations and some attention-grabbing 'nuggets''―Dr Zosia Stemplowska, University Lecturer in Political Theory, University of Oxford

'Phil Parvin and Clare Chambers have produced a state of the art textbook, which provides students with a comprehensive and bang up-to-date introduction to contemporary political philosophy. Topics are introduced in a clear and eminently readable fashion, using accessible real world examples whilst drawing on sophisticated scholarly literature. There is no comparable book which covers such a wide range of topics in such a student-friendly manner.'―Dr Daniel Butt, Lecturer in Political Theory, University of Bristol.

thoughtful politics (is it possibile?)

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I love this book. It looks at issues as power, freedom, democracy, and utilitarianism, but not from the view of politics or political science, but from philosophy. (Too bad political policy isn't done this way. At least, they put thought into it!)
