Alexander Kaufman Book order

This is a new interpretation and analysis of John Rawls's leading theory of distributive justice, focusing on the ways in which his ideas have both influenced and been misinterpreted by the current egalitarian literature. It will interest scholars and advanced students of political theory and political philosophy.

Alexander Kaufman argues against the traditional interpretation of Kant's political theory as an account of the constraints on the state's authority. Rather he argues that Kant articulates a positive conception of the state's role.
