商品簡介
The rather ambitious goal of Ellis (Clark-Atlanta U.), Fischer (Clark-Atlanta U.), and Sauer (St. Mary's U.) in presenting this work is to provide students with an accessible, yet comprehensive, critical overview of the entire field of social and political philosophy. Following an introduction to some of the central concerns running throughout the field's history and discussion of how to judge the correctness and/or value of modes of reasoning and theoretical frameworks, they present chapters that follow the development of social and political philosophy from its origins in the works of Plato and Aristotle through the contributions of Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Immanuel Kant, Karl Marx, John Rawls, Robert Nozick, feminist thinkers, Michael Waltzer and other communitarian theorists of justice, and postmodernism.
