Description - Pluralizing Political Philosophy: Economic and Ecological Inequalities in Global Perspective by Ingrid Robeyns

Pluralizing Political Philosophy focuses on economic and ecological inequalities. By reducing the current marginalization of a range of traditions and approaches outside liberalism, which especially takes place at universities in the Global North, political philosophy will have access to a richer range of theories. This marginalization happens to some extent to traditions that could be understood as providing an 'internal critique' to liberalism, but
happens especially to various non-western political philosophies. The chapters in this edited volume illustrate the wide range of perspectives that exist to analyze economic and ecological
inequalities. In addition to critical discussions of liberal egalitarianism and green liberalism, contributing authors also offer discussions of M?ori philosophy, ecofeminism, Confucian political philosophy, an ethics of care, Ubuntu philosophy, Buen Vivir, and hybrid approaches. The different traditions and approaches not only differ in their normative commitments but also in their ontological assumptions and methodological underpinnings. The volume closes with four shorter chapters that
provide meta-theoretical reflections on the volume, and make suggestions on how to further pluralise political philosophy.This is an open access title available under the
