Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the concept of political community, the essay critiques Walzer's perspective, arguing it is incomplete and normatively objectionable. The first chapter outlines Walzer's definition and its implications for justifying force. Subsequent sections identify significant omissions in his analysis and highlight the potential dangers of his communitarian approach. The final chapter provides a critical examination of the normative issues arising from Walzer's views, suggesting that his interpretation may be harmful in practical applications.
