Over the past decade, an intellectual movement known as "realism"
has challenged the reigning orthodoxy in political theory and
political philosophy. Realists take issue with what they see as the
excessive moralism and utopianism associated with prominent
philosophers like John Rawls, Ronald Dworkin, and G.A. Cohen; but
what they would put in its place has not always been clear. The
contributors to this volume seek to bring realism into a new phase,
constructive rather than merely combative. To this end they examine
three distinct kinds of realism. The first seeks to place questions
of feasibility at the center of political theory and philosophy;
the second seeks to reorient our interpretations of key works in
the canon; the third seeks new interpretations or specifications of
prominent ideologies such as liberalism, radicalism, and
republicanism such that they no longer rely on abstract or
systematic philosophic systems. Contributors include: David
Estlund, Edward Hall, Alison McQueen, Terry Nardin, Philip Pettit,
Janosch Prinz, Enzo Rossi, Andrew Sabl, Rahul Sagar, and Matt
Sleat. The chapters originally published as a special issue of
Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy.
