Political
Philosophy is a discipline that aims to clarify our most fundamental ethical
questions as human beings living in societies under conditions of scarce
resources and unequal power. How should we live? What does a good life look
like and what kind of social and political arrangements are most conducive to
living good lives?
Democracy has been one influential answer to these questions. Democratic political arrangements are thought to be essential to the maximisation of human happiness and flourishing by many around the world. In this book we examine some enduring puzzles that have to do with the most important pillars of democracy: freedom, rights, equality, justice and legitimate authority.
