Opis

Brian Barry's seminal work has occupied an important role in the revival of Anglo-American political philosophy. A number of ideas & terms in it have become part of the standard vocabulary, such as the distinction between 'ideal-regarding' & 'want-regarding' principles & the division of principles into aggregative & distributive.

Recenzje

'Barry operates at many different levels of generality and abstraction. He writes clearly about theoretical matters and vividly in their concrete illustration.' - Anthony Kenny, New Statesman
