Описание:

The "Routledge Contemporary Introductions to Philosophy" series has generally been quite good. I recommend their "Continental Philosophy" introduction by Cutrofello which is excellent.

However, this particular entry by Christman is not as strong, in my opinion, as some of the others. My real disappointment is that it is generally confined to Political Philosophy. There is very little here about Social Philosophy. I urge the reader to inspect the Table of Contents which is available.

If you are primarily interested in an introduction to the liberal paradigm in political philosophy and contemporary (though mostly analytical philosophers) discourse on that paradigm, I can recommend the book, perhaps 4 stars. But be aware that its focus is much more narrow than the title might indicate.
