Why conflict, war and revolution
All books are the outcomes of choices made by authors who could say much more if they were aware of the interests of individual readers or had unlimited space and time. A book that draws together a number of different thinkers from different historical periods, chosen to illustrate and inform some of the ways in which contemporary discussions are orientated is always likely to attract criticism and objection on the basis of exclusions and omissio…
From Professionalisation and Normalisation to Genealogy and Realism
This essay seeks to characterise and explain a specific pattern in professional political theorising over the last five decades. The paper does not seek to offer a stipulative or philosophical definition of the activity and nor can it offer a full historical or political sociological analysis of the activity in the context of academic institutions in the Anglophone world. Instead it provides a high-level overview of a particular pattern of develo…
Taking Utilitarianism Seriously
Impartiality, Neutrality and Justice
Brian Barry's Justice as Impartiality confronts issues at the heart of modern political philosophy. This important collection examines various aspects of his argument and expands the discussion beyond the text to explore wider issues at the centre of contemporary debates about the nature and theories of distributive justice. It brings together responses from a wide range of Barry's critics including feminists, utilitarians, mutual advantage theor…
Liberalism
This overview of liberalism explains its origins in the natural jurisprudence of John Locke and the historical sociology of Adam Smith. Although both foundational sources have significantly different impacts on the subsequent development of the tradition, they both sustain a primary commitment to methodological and ethical individualism. The remainder of the article explores the way in which different liberals have interpreted the political impli…
Armitage on Locke on International Theory
The paper examines David Armitage's claim that Locke makes an important contribution to international theory by exploring the place of international relations within the Two Treatises of Government. Armitage's suggestion is that the place of international theory in Locke's canonical works is under-explored. In particular, the paper examines the implication of Locke's account of the executive power of the law of nature which allows third parties t…
Political philosophy and the attraction of realism
The progressive abstraction and professionalisation of political philosophy over the last few decades has invited a ‘realist’ backlash. This turn to realism has been promoted and defended by various philosophers for a variety of reasons. This article distinguishes the components of the realist challenge to contemporary normative political theory by contrasting the typology of realist theories developed by Michael Doyle with another set out by Ray…
The multicultural mystique
Political Philosophy versus History?
Is the way in which political philosophy is conducted today too ahistorical? Does such ahistoricism render political philosophy too abstract? Is political philosophy thus incapable of dealing with the realities of political life? This volume brings together some of the world's leading political philosophers to address these crucial questions. The contributors focus especially on political philosophy's pretensions to universality and on its strain…
Rescuing political theory from the tyranny of history
the only way to make discernible progress in political philosophy is by studying history, social and economic institutions and the real world of politics in a reflective way. This is not incompatible with “doing philosophy”; rather, in this area, it is the only sensible way to proceed. After all, a major danger in using highly abstractive methods in political philosophy is that one will succeed in merely generalising one’s own local prejudices an…

Why equality? On justifying liberal egalitarianism
The debate over the nature of egalitarianism has come to dominate political philosophy. As ever more sophisticated attempts are made to describe the principles of an egalitarian distribution or to specify the good or goods that should be distributed equally, little is said about the fundamental basis of equality. In virtue of what should people be regarded as equal? Egalitarians have tended to dismiss this question of fundamental equality. In the…
Multicultural Odysseys
The Social Theory of Anti‐Liberalism
Value‐pluralists such as John Gray support their argument by reference to the facts of ethical experience: they suggest that value‐pluralism is a more realistic theory of the nature of our ethical practices and their inherent conflicts. In making this claim, this essay argues that value‐pluralists are not merely providing a neutral account of ethical practices but imposing a controversial and positivistic account of morality and ethics. Against t…
Political Theory – The State of the Art
For much of its history political science has been political theory. As political science begins to establish a stronger sense of identity, political theorists have become more concerned about the point of their activity. In reviewing current trends and future prospects for political theory the author examines the current state of the art, including the undue significance attached to gurus such as Michael Oakeshott and Isaiah Berlin, the quest fo…
The long shadow of John Stuart Mill
Brian Barry's recent critique of the theory and practice of multiculturalism reflects a robust defence of a version of liberal egalitarianism which accords individuals political rights and opportunities to pursue cultural goods and to assert against cultural communities. This argument is self-consciously defended as following in the tradition of J. S. Mill's theory of liberty. However, Mill's liberalism has two distinct legacies, both libertarian…

Taking Utilitarianism Seriously
With a book as wide ranging and insightful as Barry's Justice as Impartiality , it is perhaps a little churlish to criticize it for paying insufficient attention to one's own particular interests. That said, in what follows I am going to do just that and claim that in an important sense Barry does not take utilitarianism seriously. Utilitarianism does receive some discussion in Barry's book, and in an important section which I will discuss he eve…

Utilitarianism and Distributive Justice
Between 1787, and the end of his life in 1832, Bentham turned his attention to the development and application of economic ideas and principles within the general structure of his legislative project. For seventeen years this interest was manifested through a number of books and pamphlets, most of which remained in manuscript form, that develop a distinctive approach to economic questions. Although Bentham was influenced by Adam Smith's An Inquir…

Utilitarian Strategies in Bentham and John Stuart Mill
The argument of this paper is part of a general defence of the claim that Bentham's moral theory embodies a utilitarian theory of distributive justice, which is developed in his Civil Law writings. Whereas it is a commonplace of recent revisionist scholarship to argue that J. S. Mill had a developed utilitarian theory of justice, few scholars regard Bentham as having a theory of justice, let alone one that rivals in sophistication that of Mill. I…

Utilitarianism and Distributive Justice
In this book Dr Kelly presents the first full-length exposition and sympathetic defence of Jeremy Bentham's unique utilitarian theory of justice. He rescues Bentham's reputation from crude nineteenth- and twentieth-century caricatures, and develops a sophisticated and subtle interpretation of Bentham's moral theory which places him at the heart of the British Liberal tradition. Drawing heavily on Bentham's unpublished civil and distributive law w…
