Now revised and updated and containing several entirely new chapters, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to political philosophy.

Throughout, this book challenges readers to think critically about political arguments and institutions that they might otherwise take for granted. It will be a vital and provocative resource for any student of philosophy or political science., Introduces readers to central concepts and debates in political philosophy using real-life examples.
