Reiner provides the most wide-ranging and up-to-date introduction to his work available. Reiner examines his writings on topics ranging from justice in war, humanitarian intervention and migration ethics to distributive justice, multiculturalism, and the political role of religion. Situating Walzer’s thought in the intellectual environment of post-war American  leftist politics, Reiner demonstrates the importance of his attempt to provide a social-democratic alternative to liberalism, Marxism, and post-modernism. He shows that Walzer has developed a novel approach to political theory based on the thesis that human communities construct the values that give meaning to their lives, giving his work a significance that goes well beyond political theory, into political and social science more broadly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReiner not only gives a crystal clear guide to Walzer’s ideas for students of political philosophy and general readers, but also develops an original and illuminating new interpretation of his thought that no political theorist can afford to miss.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1: The Justice of Resorting to War\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: Justified Conduct in War\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3: Complex Equality and the “Spheres of Justice”\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4: Complex Equality and the Social Democratic Critique of Liberalism\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5: The Challenge of Diversity\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6: Justice Beyond Borders\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7: Religion and Politics\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8: Interpretive Method and Social Criticism\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441790152984,"sku":"9781509526291","price":45.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509526291.jpg?v=1785025304","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/michael-walzer-hardback-9781509526291","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
