Social and Political Philosophy: A Contemporary Introduction John Christman is an English study book that addresses important themes within social and political philosophy. The book is suitable for students in higher education and provides a clear overview of central social and political issues.
This introduction offers a broad and accessible view of social and political philosophy, including in-depth treatments of social topics such as epistemic injustice, sexuality, marriage and the family. It also discusses political issues such as political authority, economic justice, tolerance, and matters concerning community, race, gender, and culture. Unique is the integration of social and political perspectives, as well as new chapters on social philosophy and transnational justice from the second edition.
The book connects thematically with fields such as Philosophy, Philosophical traditions and schools of thought, and PHILOSOPHY / Social. It thus forms a current and relevant reference work for a deep understanding of social and political philosophy in today’s context.
