This book is superb! With essays that are captivating, timely, and substantive, this volume will be fruitful to both students and professionals. I enthusiastically recommend it.
Professor David Boersema, Department of Philosophy, Pacific University, USA
This welcome collection of new essays help us better understand both where political philosophy has been and where it is going. The arguments of the essays are also nicely interrelated, thus challenging us to work out our own view as we read though the volume.
