Reviews

'This book boldly addresses a complex world of political ideas and theories, working to unearth the metaphysical commitments that govern social and political existence. Engaging a universe of discourse that infuses the state, procedural justice, and political conflict, Steinberger generates a remarkable understanding of objectivity and its place in political life.' Lucas Swaine, Dartmouth College 'An ambitious and insightful book about the philosophic foundations of any adequate understanding of politics. A very impressive defense of an unfashionable approach to political philosophy.' Bernard Yack, Lerman-Neubauer Professor of Democracy, Brandeis University, Massachusetts
