Den Uyl's recent book \u003ci\u003eNorms of Liberty: A Perfectionist Basis for Non-Perfectionist Politics\u003c\/i\u003e (Penn State University Press, 2005) is being received in philosophy and political theory as an important and original defense of liberalism. The book offers a neo-Aristotelian ethic of human flourishing as a basis for a liberal conception of human rights. One of the authors' central contentions is that a key problem for any (liberal) political philosophy is how to establish a political\/legal order which in principle does not require that any one person or group's well-being be given structured preference over that of any other. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis companion volume, an interpretive and critical reader, features essays from both philosophers and political scientists, as well as an omnibus reply by Rasmussen and Den Uyl. \u003ci\u003eNorms of Liberty\u003c\/i\u003e makes challenging arguments about key issues, which makes a multi-disciplinary reader a valuable asset for both students and scholars. \u003ci\u003eReading Rasmussen and Den Uyl\u003c\/i\u003e is designed both to explicate the book's arguments and to explore possible objections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sue Collins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 073912692X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780739126929\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/19\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 5.99w x 0.97d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/08\/2008 pg. 18","brand":"Sue Collins","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44809628451071,"sku":"9780739126929","price":121.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e889fc6-22f8-4068-8662-4f8ff9cfa574.jpg?v=1707927027","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reading-rasmussen-and-den-uyl-sue-collins-9780739126929","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
