This comprehensive volume contains much of the important work in
political and social philosophy from ancient times until the end of
the nineteenth century. The anthology offers both depth and breadth
in its selection of material by central figures, while also
representing other currents of political thought. Thucydides,
Seneca, and Cicero are included along with Plato and Aristotle;
Al-Farabi, Marsilius of Padua, and de Pizan take their place
alongside Augustine and Aquinas; Astell and Constant are presented
in the company of Locke, Rousseau, and Wollstonecraft. The editors
have made every effort to include translations that are both
readable and reliable. Every selection has been painstakingly
annotated, and each figure is given a substantial introduction
highlighting his or her major contribution within the tradition. In
order to ensure the highest standards of accuracy and
accessibility, the editors have consulted dozens of leading
academics during the course of the anthology's development (a
number of whom have contributed introductory material as well as
advice). The result is an anthology with unparalleled pedagogical
benefits, and one that truly breaks new ground.
This book proposes a cosmopolitan ethics that calls for analyzing
how economic and political structures limit opportunities for
different groups, distinguished by gender, race, and class. The
author explores the implications of criticisms from the social
sciences of Eurocentrism and of methodological nationalism for
normative theories of mobility. These criticisms lend support to a
cosmopolitan social science that rejects a principled distinction
between international mobility and mobility within states and
cities. This work has interdisciplinary appeal, integrating the
social sciences, political philosophy, and political theory.

Kai Nielsen is one of Canada's most distinguished political
philosophers. In a career spanning over 40 years, he has published
more than 400 papers in political philosophy, ethics,
meta-philosophy, and philosophy of religion. He has engaged much of
the best work in Anglophone political philosophy, shedding light on
many of the central debates and controversies of our time but
throughout has remained a unique voice on the political left.
Pessimism of the Intellect , Optimism of the Will: The Political
Philosophy of Kai Nielsen presents a thoughtful collection of
Nielsen's essays complemented by an extended reflective interview
with Nielsen. This collection allows the reader to grasp the
systematic scope of his thought and methodology.

The Ethics and Politics of Immigration provides an overview of the
central topics in the ethics of immigration with contributions from
scholars who have shaped the terms of debate and who are moving the
discussion forward in exciting directions. This book is unique in
providing an overview of how the field has developed over the last
twenty years in political philosophy and political theory. The
essays in this book cover issues to do with open borders,
admissions policies, refugee protection and the regulation of labor
migration. The book also includes coverage of matters concerning
integration, inclusion, and legalization. It goes on to explore
human trafficking and smuggling and the immigrant detention. The
book concludes with four topics that promise to move immigration
ethics in new directions: philosophical objections to states giving
preference to skilled laborers; the implications of gender and care
ethics; the incorporation of the philosophy of race; and how the
cognitive bias of methodological nationalism affects the
discussion.
In this, the second of his Two Treatises of Government, John Locke
examines humankind's transition from its original state of nature
to a civil society. According to Locke, legitimate government
arises to enforce the natural law and the property rights of
individuals; when a government fails to do this, or attempts to
exert powers beyond those granted by the people, revolution is
justified. One can see the lasting influence of Locke's ideas
through their familiarity to the modern reader - the roots of
classical liberalism are here, and the arguments presented in this
text have relevance to any modern student of political theory. The
introduction and annotations included in this edition are intended
to contextualize the work and prevent misunderstanding, without
advancing any particular scholarly interpretation or merely
summarizing Locke's arguments. This edition has its origin in the
acclaimed Broadview Anthology of Social and Political Thought and
adheres to the anthology's format and high standards of accuracy
and accessibility.

This book provides a philosophical defence of open borders. Two
policy dogmas are the right of sovereign states to restrict
immigration and the infeasibility of opening borders. These dogmas
persist in face of the human suffering caused by border controls
and in spite of a global economy where the mobility of goods and
capital is combined with severe restrictions on the movement of
most of the world's poor. Alex Sager argues that immigration
restrictions violate human rights and sustain unjust global
inequalities, and that we should reject these dogmas that deprive
hundreds of millions of people of opportunities solely because of
their place of birth. Opening borders would promote human freedom,
foster economic prosperity, and mitigate global inequalities. Sager
contends that studies of migration from economics, history,
political science, and other disciplines reveal that open borders
are a feasible goal for political action, and that citizens around
the world have a moral obligation to work toward open borders.
