The Oxford Handbook of Classics in Contemporary Political Theory

Edited by Jacob T. Levy

Abstract

This handbook is currently in development, with individual articles publishing online in advance of print publication. At this time, we cannot add information about unpublished articles in this handbook, however the table of contents will continue to grow as additional articles pass through the review process and are added to the site. Please note that the online publication date for this handbook is the date that the first article in the title was published online. For more information, please read the site FAQs.

complements with a focus on texts, not themes; each chapter discusses one of the key works that contributed to the subdiscipline of postwar political theory, 1950-2000. The essays include discussion of the works themselves, including their key arguments; their intellectual influence in the years after their publication, including key debates about them and criticisms of them; and their promise and potential as intellectual resources in the future. The books studied include not only those within political theory and philosophy proper, but those within neighboring fields, especially empirical political science, that have made or could make important contributions to ideas within political theory itself. The volume as a whole offers an account of what political theory is, and has been: one in which normative philosophy, social theory, critical theory, the history of political thought, and social science are all drawn upon and enrich each other. It makes a case for political theory as a field of social science, and for a common intellectual enterprise of the understanding of social and political life to which such figures as Rawls, Habermas, Foucault, Arendt, Hayek, Skinner, and Strauss all contribute.

Keywords: Political theory, social theory, political philosophy, political science, democracy, liberalism, critical theory, feminism, justice, freedom, liberty, republicanism, global justice, social contract, philosophy of law, history of political thought, legitimacy
