Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
An updated edition of an established 1985 anthology of classical and contemporary readings in social and political philosophy. The readings are organized into 4 thematic sections which are preceded by an introduction and followed by a bibliography of suggested further reading.
MoreLong description:
This anthology of social and political philosophy combines extensive selections from classical works with significant recent contributions to the field, many of which are not easily available. The emphasis is on the liberal currents in modern Western political thought—variants of classical liberalism, modern liberalism, and libertarianism—with specific focus on differing concepts of political obligation, freedom, distributive justice, and representative democracy.
Each chapter features selections from classical thinkers alongside writings by influential contemporary philosopers and political theorists, thus tracing the historical development and transformation of ideas. Among the classical authors represented in this collection are Plato, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, and Mill. Modern philosophers include John Rawls, Isaiah Berlin, T.M. Scanlon, Robert Nozick, and Thomas Nagel.
