Meer over het boek

The book emphasizes the significance of systematic philosophical inquiry in political theory, challenging the long-standing skepticism towards metaphysical speculation. Peter J. Steinberger explores how this approach can illuminate complex issues such as tolerance, civil disobedience, democracy, and consent, offering fresh perspectives on these contentious topics. By addressing changing trends, Steinberger advocates for a deeper understanding of the philosophical foundations that underpin political life.
