Summary:

This incisive overview provides a lucid introduction to the major schools of thought which dominate contemporary debates in political philosophy. Offering a critical appraisal of utilitarianism, liberal equality, libertarianism, Marxism, communitarianism, and feminism, Kymlicka argues that these philosophies can best be viewed as various interpretations of the principal that all people should be treated as equals.
