This illuminating book examines today's most controversial and
philosophically interesting issues in the major schools of
contemporary political theory. In the past two decades, the study
of political theory has undergone an unexpected renaissance and has
once again taken center stage in philosophical debates in the West.
Paradigms in Political Theory sets out some of the major
controversies circulating in four schools of contemporary political
theory: liberalism, Marxism, feminism, and postmodernism. Rather
than attempting to cover the major elements of each school of
thought in a comprehensive manner, this volume reveals some of the
more contentious issues facing each brand of political theory so
that its cutting edge can be exposed. Chapters on liberalism
criticize the foundations of the school from its assumptions and
analytical methods to the problems of legitimacy and paternalism.
Other chapters provide a basis for political obligation, analyze
collective action, or critique the main proponents of liberalism in
our time. The works on Marxism range from traditional critical
interpretation of the work of classical authors to contemporary
applications of analytical Marxism or undertake a synthesis between
Marx and Nietzsche. The feminist essays present vigorous analyses
of the self, the self in political action, and the self seeking
personal and social truth in new ways. The section on
post-modernism addresses the major issues in the political theories
of Foucault, Habermas, Derrida, Lyotard, and Baudrillard.
