Biographical note
Laurence Thomas is Professor of Philosophy and Professor of Political Science in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University.
Having children is the most common aim among human beings. The Family and the Political Self aims to capture the insights that can be gleaned from taking this truth seriously. One truth is that human beings may not be as self-interested as is commonly supposed. In this book Laurence Thomas argues that the best construal of the political self reflects this truth.
