This Book Offers A Model Introduction To Political Philosophy, Addressing Philosophers From Plato To Rawls And Nozick, With Each Thinker Treated As Exploring Perennial Problems.

When A Thinker Poses A Problem Not Resolvable At That Time, (such As Racial Equality) Modern Social Science And Economics Are Used To Provide Answers.
