About this product
Product Information
What would life be like without the state? What justifies the state? Who should rule? How much liberty should the citizen enjoy? How should property be justly distributed? This book examines the central problems involved in political philosophy and the past attempts to respond to these problems. Jonathan Wolff looks at the works of Plato, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Mill, Marx, and Rawls (among others), examining how the debates between philosophers have developed, and searching for possible answers to these provocative questions. His final chapter looks at more recent issues, particularly feminist political theory.

''This is exactly what the title says - it introduces students to many ofthe central topics of political philosophy and in the process to many of itsmost distinguished figures from Plato to John Rawls. By organizing his bookaround major issues, Wolff provides the structure that beginners need. He alsointroduces some distinctive ideas of his own, especially on such matters as theownership of property, the persuasiveness of anarchism, and the limits of theright to self-destructive behaviour. He writes with an enviable clarity andeven-handedness''Alan Ryan, ''The clarity of presentation betrays an admirable intimacy with the problems and texts discussed, and an ability to present sympathetic accounts of positions on both sides of controversial issues. To my knowledge, it is the best volume of its kind''Clark Wolf, Teaching Philosophy, ''Wolff makes each issue come alive...This book is the ideal introductionto the subject and should be widely read.
