This fourth edition of The Individual and the Political Order
provides a careful, accessible, and reasoned liberal justification
for the democratic state and political authority. The central
feature of liberalism is the commitment to individual autonomy. The
authors show how that commitment provides a defense of democracy,
and they give a liberal interpretation to such core values as
liberty, equality, and political authority. Although the authors
support liberal theory, they also provide a sympathetic treatment
of the critics of liberalism. The authors give a sound explanation
of such positions as feminist political theory, communitarianism,
and post-modernism but they also argue persuasively that these
theories fall short as adequate theories of the political order. A
significant feature of the new edition is the treatment of
international issues and globalization, particularly the war on
terrorism and poverty in the third world. This edition retains its
balanced treatment of such major theorists as Hobbes, Locke,
Rousseau, Rawls and, in this edition, Marx. This edition continues
the tradition of readability, balance, and careful argumentation
that characterized the earlier editions. The Individual and the
Political Order is accessible to a wide audience and to nearly all
individuals who are interested in how citizens in a state should be
governed.
