Synopsis
Substantive issues in modern political philosophy are focused upon in this broad-ranging collection of papers by one of the most internationally highly-respected political theorists writing today., This volume brings together a wide-ranging collection of the papers written by Jeremy Waldron, one of the most internationally respected political theorists writing today. The main focus of the collection is on substantive issues in modern political philosophy. The first six chapters deal with freedom, toleration and neutrality and argue for a robust conception of liberty. Waldron defends the idea that people have a right to act in ways others disapprove of, and that the state should be neutral vis-á-vis religious and ethical systems. The chapters that follow are concerned with socio-economic rights. Waldron argues that poverty and homelessness are not to be understood apart from the value of freedom. On the contrary our moral response to them should be based on the same values that underlie traditional liberal philosophy., This volume brings together a wide-ranging collection of the papers written by Jeremy Waldron, one of the most internationally highly-respected political theorists writing today.

- a***e (1232)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseVery pleased with my purchase, packaged up nicely with a good shipping time on the back end, condition is well kept, item went for a fair price, gratitude to another exceptional seller on ebay.
- n***. (1353)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe book was in great condition - better than described; a terrific value with a dust jacket in this condition. It will look great on the shelf and off. Well packaged and promptly shipped.
- a***l (4)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseDisappointed with this purchase. The listing had no details on condition or dust cover, and the book arrived without one, covered in library cards and markings. I even emailed the seller to confirm it was a hardback. Oddly, the listing was updated with this information only after I received the book. Given the poor condition, I would never have purchased it at such a high price.
