Synopsis

This book presents leading statements of rights-based liberalism and of the communitarian alternatives. It shifts the focus from the familiar debate between utilitarians and Kantian liberals in order to consider a more powerful challenge to the rights-based ethic, a challenge indebted to Aristotle, Hegel and the civic republican tradition. The contributors include Isiah Berlin, John Rawls, Alasdair MacIntyre, Charles Taylor, Michael Oakeshott and Hannah Arendt.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Much contemporary political philosophy has been a debate between utilitarianism on the one hand and Kantian, or rights-based ethic has recently 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. The writings collected in this volume present leading statements of rights-based liberalism and of the communitarian, or civic republican alternatives to that position. The principle of selection has been to shift the focus from the familiar debate between utilitarians and Kantian liberals in order to consider a more powerful challenge ot the rights-based ethic, a challenge indebted, broadly speaking, to Aristotle, Hegel, and the civic republican tradition. Contributors include Isaiah Berlin, John Rawls, Alasdair MacIntyre.
