This authoritative collection of the seminal texts in post-war political philosophy has now been updated and expanded. This work: reprints key articles, mainly unabridged, touching upon the nature of the state, democracy, justice, rights, liberty, equality and oppression; includes work from politics, law and economics, as well as from continental and analytic philosophy; now includes thirteen additional texts, taking account of recent developments in the field and reflecting the most pressing concerns in international affairs; and, can be used alongside "A Companion to Contemporary Political Philosophy" (Blackwell Publishing, 1993; second edition in preparation) as the basis for a systematic introduction to the subject.
