Rethinking Liberal Equality - From a "Utopian" Point of View (Hardcover)

For over 25 years, academic political philosophy has been dominated by strains of liberal theory shaped decisively by John Rawls' investigations of distributive justice and political legitimacy. By intervening sympathetically yet critically in several ongoing debates initiated by Rawls' work, the author of this text suggests the possibility of a supra-liberal egalitarian political philosophy which incorporates the insights of recent developments in liberal theory, while reinvigorating the political vision of the historical Left.
