'This book is the ideal introduction to the subject and should be widelyread. It is a book I wish I had written.'Political Studies, vol.45, no.2, June 1997, 'This book is the ideal introduction to the subject and should be widely read. It is a book I wish I had written.', "Exactly what the title says--it introduces students to many of the central topics of political philosophy and in the process to many of its most distinguished figures from Plato to John Rawls. By organizing his book around major issues, Wolff provides the structure that beginners need."--Alan Ryan, 'This book is the ideal introduction to the subject and should be widely read.

Synopsis
What would life be like without the state? What justifies the state? Who should rule? How much liberty should the citizen enjoy? How should property be justly distributed? This book examines the central problems involved in political philosophy and the past attempts to respond to these problems. Jonathan Wolff looks at the works of Plato, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Mill, Marx and Rawls (amongst others), examining how the debates between philosophers have developed, and searching for possible answers to these provocative questions. His final chapter looks at more recent issues, particularly that of feminist political theory., What would life be like without the state? What justifies the state? Who should rule?

What would life be like without the state, for example? What justifies the state? Who should rule? How much liberty should the citizen enjoy? How should property justly be distributed? Jonathan Wolff looks at these stimulating questions in the light of works like Plato'sRepublic, Hobbes' Leviathan, Locke's Two Treatises of Government, Rousseau's Social Contact, Mill's On Liberty, Marx's Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts and Rawls' Theory of Justice, and considers the debates which have developed between various philosophers. In this final chapter he also considers more recent issues, particularly that of feminist political theory.
