This book by Professor Walzer stands as a fresh demonstration that two centuries' development of analytic tools and reasoning can carry old premises to conclusions both fresh and subtle. -- David L. Bazelon
Michael Walzer is Professor of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton.
A distinguished contribution; political theorists will learn much
from this book and so should many non-theorists as well. To them it
offers not only a series of penetrating analyses...but also an
outstanding example of that working out of a tradition of thought
which...is so vital to the vocation of political theory. * American
