New Waves in Political Philosophy

This collection of essays breaks new ground by providing an unparalleled snap-short of new work in political philosophy. The book brings together up-and-coming scholars from across the globe using such diverse methodologies as critical theory and social choice theory, historical analysis and conceptual analysis. The volume demonstrates the vibrancy of contemporary political theorizing not only when treating perennial topics - democracy, equality, legitimacy, liberty, patriotism, political freedom, rationality - but also when revivifying topics briefly out of favor - human needs, ideology, judgment, political aesthetics - and tackling topics more recently put on the agenda - citizenship, collective agency, cultural contexts, feminism, identity, multiculturalism, social suffering, subjectivity.
