It is commonly observed that the publication in 1971 of his treatise \u003cem\u003eA Theory of Justice\u003c\/em\u003e initiated a return to political questions among Anglo-American philosophers and is largely responsible for the vigorous health of contemporary political philosophy. Rawls' ideas and approach have transformed philosophical inquiry in this area, and political theorists nowadays are obliged to make clear where they stand in relation to Rawls if they wish to be involved in mainstream discussions. \u003cbr\u003eYet Rawls' influence has also extended beyond philosophy and has had a substantial impact on work in law, economics, and political science. Since the publication of \u003cem\u003eA Theory of Justice\u003c\/em\u003e, Rawls has written two other major works: \u003cem\u003ePolitical Liberalism\u003c\/em\u003e (1993) and \u003cem\u003eThe Law of Peoples\u003c\/em\u003e (1999) and also issued a collection of his essays: \u003cem\u003eCollected Papers\u003c\/em\u003e (1999).\u003cbr\u003eThis collection provides a thorough analysis of Rawls' work. In addition to a general introduction, the set includes introductions to each volume which help guide the reader through the material.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47616382107799,"sku":"9780415229951","price":102745.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415229951.webp?v=1775112979","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/john-rawls-critical-assessments-of-leading-political-philosophers-9780415229951","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
