This is the inaugural volume of 'Oxford Studies in Political Philosophy'. Since its revival in the 1970s, political philosophy has been a vibrant field in philosophy-one that intersects with jurisprudence, normative economics, political theory in political science departments, and just war theory. This series aims to publish some of the best contemporary work in political philosophy and these closely related subfields. This first volume addresses a range of central topics grouped into four main themes: democracy, political liberalism and public reason, rights and duties, and method

Each of these two features is a methodological desideratum in the case of certain concepts in certain theoretical contexts. For example, freedom can be fru…
