Abstract
'The author has provided us with a masterful overview and critique of liberal theorizing of the past quarter-century. While dealing exhaustively and fairly with each of a variety of broadly liberal approaches, Gaus also presents a compelling argument for his own preferred -justificatory- approach' - Fred D'Agostino, University of New England, Armidale. Contemporary Theories of Liberalism provides students with a comprehensive overview of the key tenets of liberalism developed through Hobbes, Locke, Kant and Rawls, to present day theories and debates. It will be essential reading for students and academics seeking a deeper understanding of liberal political theory today.
