Political Philosophy and Public Purpose
Series Editor Michael J. Thompson William Patterson University, USA
Aim of the Series This series offers books that seek to explore new perspectives in social and political criticism. Seeing contemporary academic political theory and philosophy as largely dominated by hyper-academic and overly-technical debates, the books in this series seek to connect the politically engaged traditions of philosophical thought with contemporary social and political life. The idea of philosophy emphasized here is not as an aloof enterprise, but rather a publically-oriented activity that emphasizes rational reflection as well as informed praxis.

SERIES EDITOR’S FOREWORD
Hegel famously wrote that “philosophy is its own age apprehended in thought.” He meant that philosophical reflection is forever bound to comprehending and rationally reconstructing that which already exists.
