Bas van der Vossen,

About this book

This book offers an introduction to political philosophy, the study of the role of government in our lives. It discusses what political philosophy is about, its most important and enduring questions, and how to do political philosophy well. Throughout, the book discusses issues such as:

• Do we have a moral obligation to obey the law?

• What's the value of equality?

• What's the nature of justice?

• How can we answer philosophical questions about politics?

• Is political philosophy a form of activism? Or is it more like a science?

Written in an inviting and accessible style, Political Philosophy: The Basics offers an ideal starting point for anyone wishing to learn more about the philosophical study of politics.
