Promotional Information

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

Reviews

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.
