Böcker i Political Philosophy Now-serien

Explores the link between logic, ethics and political theory. This book analyses the theoretical origins and application of the concept of intersubjectivity, arguing that post-Kantian philosophy (in Fichte, Schiller and Hegel) extends Kant's critique of Leibniz to yield a different theory of modern freedom, community and mutual recognition.

This work presents a review of works in the area of universal human rights and their implications for international politics. The text addresses such questions as: what rights are universal?; who holds the rights under international conventions?; and what is the link between such rights and peace?

An original, informed, and engaging reading of Kant's ideas on basic rights and human dignity, on how to eliminate war from international affairs, and on the reasons we have to believe that political progress is possible.
