Political philosophy A very short introduction

David Miller, 1946-

Book - 2003

"In this Very Short Introduction, David Miller demonstrates the practical importance of political philosophy and explores some of these fundamental issues, asking why democracy is the best form of government and which areas of life should be kept free from political interference. David Miller also examines the new challenges posed by feminism, multiculturalism, and globalization, and questions whether ideals of good government that were first developed in the era of city-states can still have relevance today."--Jacket.
