<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A classic collection of writings on political philosophy from leading thinkers of the late 20th century</b> <p/>Much contemporary political philosophy has been a debate between utilitarianism on the one hand and Kantian, or rights-based ethics on the other. However, in recent decades liberalism has faced a growing challenge from a different direction, from a view that argues for a deeper understanding of citizenship and community than the liberal ethic allows. <p/>The writings collected in this volume present leading statements of rights-based liberalism and of the communitarian, or civic republican alternatives to that position. With contributions from leading theorists such as Isaiah Berlin, John Rawls, Alasdair MacIntyre, <i>Liberalism and Its Critic</i>s shifts the focus from the familiar debate between utilitarians and Kantian liberals to consider a more powerful challenge to the rights-based ethic--a challenge indebted to Aristotle, Hegel, and the civic republican tradition.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Michael J. Sandel</b> teaches political philosophy at Harvard University. He is the author of several books, including, <i>Liberalism and the Limits of Justice</i> (1982).
