Black boards, gilt lettering; purple dj with color illustration, black and white lettering; 221 pp. "This book is written from a perspective that is at once sympathetic towards, and critical of, liberal political philosophy. The essays explore the capacity of liberal thought, and of the moral traditions on which it draws, to accommodate a variety of challenges posed by the changing circumstances of the modern world. The essays consider how, in an era of rapid globalization, when people's lives are structured by social arrangements and institutions of ever-increasing size, complexity, and scope, we can best conceive of the responsibilities of individual agents and the normative significance of people's diverse commitments and allegiances. The volume is linked by common themes including the responsibilities persons have in virtue of belonging to a community, the compatibility of such obligations with equality, the demands of distributive justice in general, and liberalism's relationship to liberty, community, and equality."--Jacket. Contents: 1. Responsibility, Reactive Attitudes, and Liberalism in Philosophy and Politics--2. Individual Responsibility in a Global Age--3. Families, Nations, and Strangers--4. Liberalism, Nationalism, and Egalitarianism--5. The Conflict between Justice and Responsibility--6. Relationships and Responsibilities--7. Conceptions of Cosmopolitanism--8. The Appeal of Political Liberalism--9. Rawls and Utilitarianism--10. Justice and Desert in Liberal Theory--11. Morality Through Thick and Thin: A Critical Notice of 'Ethics and the Limits of Philosophy'.
