  • Demonstrates the importance of political philosophy by connecting disputes about public policy to philosophical ideas.
  • An accessible and comprehensive text that introduces readers to a wide array of major topics in political philosophy.
  • Written by an expert team of authors, this engaging and thought-provoking introduction to political philosophy is designed for students who are taking their first steps in the discipline.

    
Introducing Political Philosophy
 is a thought-provoking introduction that invites readers to consider and analyze the philosophical controversies that underpin several prominent areas of political debate.
  
The opening chapter familiarizes students with the aims and methods of political philosophy. It explains the tools required to practice the discipline, and discusses how to apply these to political arguments. Each of the fifteen subsequent chapters focuses on a distinct area of public policy, such as affirmative action, humanitarian intervention, immigration, and parental leave. The authors introduce students to the moral questions that lie at the heart of these political disputes, as well as to some of the relevant academic literature.
   
The authors believe that the best way to learn about political philosophy is to see it in action. By arguing for a position in each chapter and defending it against criticisms, they demonstrate to students how political philosophy can inform our analysis of public policy.
  
Introducing Political Philosophy is supported by online resources.

  • Student resources: a curated list of websites help you to deepen your knowledge of policy areas, and self-test questions help you to critically evaluate key points from each chapter.
  • Lecturer resources: includes seminar activities to encourage student engagement, discussion and debate; guidance on using the teaching activities; a teaching guide explaining how to get the most out of the book's inside-out approach; and customizable PowerPoint slides on key topics, thinkers, and concepts to aid effective teaching preparation.
