Bøker av Judith N. Shklar

Ponders such questions as: How can we distinguish between injustice and misfortune? and What can we learn from the victims of calamity about the sense of injustice they harbour? Shklar formulates a new political and moral theory of injustice.

Incisively and stylishly written, this book constitutes an open challenge to reconsider the fundamental question of the relationship of law to society.

Originally published in 1976, this book was written specifically to guide students of political theory who want to understand Hegel's political ideas as they appear in The Phenomenology of Mind. Professor Shklar's commentary uses plain language and English translations of references wherever possible.

This is the second volume of Judith Shklar's work and brings together essays on a number of themes, including the place of the intellect in the modern political world and the dangers of identity politics.

This book, first published in 1969, is widely regarded as one of the best studies of Rousseau's thought in any language.
