Political Philosophy, Here and Now honours David Miller's remarkable
contribution to political philosophy. Over the last fifty years,
Miller has published an extraordinary range of work that has shaped
the discipline in many different areas, including social justice,
democracy, citizenship, nationality, global justice, and the history
of political thought. His work is characterised by its commitment to a
kind of theorising that makes sense to the people who have to put its
principles into practice. This entails paying close attention to
empirical evidence from the social sciences, but also results in a
willingness to take the everyday beliefs of lay people seriously in
its theorising. The aim is the construction of a political philosophy
that can be radically reformative, but that nonetheless is justifiable
and realisable here and now. This book brings together a range of
papers from leading political theorists concerning many different
aspects of Miller's work, on topics including national responsibility
and global justice, self-determination, collective responsibility,
human rights, immigration, market socialism, national identity,
citizenship, multiculturalism, public goods, the political thought of
David Hume, and the methodology of political philosophy. It includes a
chapter by Miller himself, which develops his own distinctive approach
to political theorising. The volume concludes with a complete
bibliography of David Miller's published work.
