About this book

The Routledge Companion to Social and Political Philosophy, Second Edition, is a comprehensive, definitive reference work, providing an up-to-date survey of the field, charting its history and key figures and movements, and addressing enduring questions as well as contemporary research. Features unique to the Companion are as follows:

Extensive coverage of the history of social and political thought, including separate chapters on the development of political thought in the Islamic world, India, and China as well as in modern Germany, France, and Britain
A focus on the core concepts and the normative foundations of social and political theory
A section devoted exclusively to distributive justice, the central issue of political philosophy since Rawls' Theory of Justice
Several chapters on global justice and international issues.

The Companion's 74 commissioned chapters, by leading scholars from throughout the world, are divided into eight thematic sections: The History of Social and Political Theory; Political Theories and Ideologies; Normative Foundations; Distributive Justice; The National State and Beyond; Political Concepts; Approaches; and Issues in Social and Political Philosophy.

Expanded, updated, and revised throughout, this Second Edition includes new chapters on Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE); Political Epistemology; Race and Ethnicity; Power; Foucault; and New Diversity Theory.
