Republicanism - A Theory of Freedom and Government

Zusatztext ...a first class book...Philip Pettit's Republicanism is a major work of political theory. It is bold, comprehensive and clear. In it Pettit develops his one big idea in depth and detail. This is a book of the moment, but I predict that it will last, and that it will provoke debate for many years to come. Klappentext This is the first full-length presentation of a republican alternative to the liberal and communitarian theories that have dominated political philosophy in recent years. Zusammenfassung In a presentation of a republican alternative to liberal and communitarian theories, Professor Pettit traces the rise and decline of the traditional republican ideal of freedom as non-domination, and makes a case for why it should still be regarded as a central political ideal.
