For Ethical Politics

Andy Blunden

This book, written by long time political activist Andy Blunden, introduces the concept of ethical politics and presents an analysis, for both Marxist and non-Marxist readers, of the conditions under which ethical politics arises.  Part 1, offers an overview of the political terrain of the current period; Part 2 traces the changes in forms of radical political subjectivity since the early 19th century; Part 3 reviews the problems of alliance politics, and Part 4 pulls together topics such as the intersection of ethics and politics, liberalism versus communitarianism, redistributive justice and recognition and offers a concise statement of ethical politics and theory. 

An added feature of the book is a set of review essays by the author which critique major works by Fukuyama, Rawls and others.  For Ethical Politics is an original and challenging contribution to the literature which warrants broad discussion.

The Standard Edition (978-0-9579737-9-4 or 978-0-9579737-8-7) contains an additional 60 pages of review material not included in the Student Edition (978-1-920889-00-5).
