Michael Walzer is one of the world's most important political
thinkers, whose major works, such as Spheres of Justice and Just
and Unjust Wars, have transformed many central debates in
contemporary political philosophy. In this book, Toby J. Reiner
provides the most wide-ranging and up-to-date introduction to his
work available. Reiner examines his writings on topics ranging from
justice in war, humanitarian intervention and migration ethics to
distributive justice, multiculturalism, and the political role of
religion. Situating Walzer's thought in the intellectual
environment of post-war American leftist politics, Reiner
demonstrates the importance of his attempt to provide a
social-democratic alternative to liberalism, Marxism, and
post-modernism. He shows that Walzer has developed a novel approach
to political theory based on the thesis that human communities
construct the values that give meaning to their lives, giving his
work a significance that goes well beyond political theory, into
political and social science more broadly. Reiner not only gives a
crystal clear guide to Walzer's ideas for students of political
philosophy and general readers, but also develops an original and
illuminating new interpretation of his thought that no political
theorist can afford to miss.
