The first systematic analysis of current debates surrounding the
role of practice in political theoryShould social and political
practices should play a role in the justification of normative
political principles? In several sub-domains of political theory,
theorists have suggested that practices constrain principles in
various ways. This book joins five key debates in the current
theoretical literature that have been largely taking place in
isolation and identifies common strands of argument and their
shared problems. By illuminating these connections and
cross-fertilising key debates in the current theoretical
literature, it develops a unified way forward for practice-based
political theory.An in-depth treatment of an extremely timely topic
given the lively contestations in the five scrutinised debates with
regard to how the relationship between social and political
practices and normative political principles best should be
understoodEmbraces a comprehensive approach to the fundamental
question of how social and political practices constrain normative
political principles of different kindsCritically assesses
arguments for different kinds of constraints in current debates
e.g. linguistic constraints, methodological constraints,
epistemological constraints and political constraints
