G. A. Cohen was one of the most gifted, influential, and
progressive voices in contemporary political philosophy. At the
time of his death in 2009, he had plans to bring together a number
of his most significant papers. This is the first of three volumes
to realize those plans. Drawing on three decades of work, it
contains previously uncollected articles that have shaped many of
the central debates in political philosophy, as well as papers
published here for the first time. In these pieces, Cohen asks what
egalitarians have most reason to equalize, he considers the
relationship between freedom and property, and he reflects upon
ideal theory and political practice.
Included here are classic essays such as "Equality of What?" and
"Capitalism, Freedom, and the Proletariat," along with more recent
contributions such as "Fairness and Legitimacy in Justice,"
"Freedom and Money," and the previously unpublished "How to Do
Political Philosophy." On ample display throughout are the clarity,
rigor, conviction, and wit for which Cohen was renowned. Together,
these essays demonstrate how his work provides a powerful account
of liberty and equality to the left of Ronald Dworkin, John Rawls,
Amartya Sen, and Isaiah Berlin.
