A stimulating combination of classic debates and recent developments in the field, this edition:

- Features an entirely new chapter on the growing influences of global justice and environmentalism
- Includes thought-provoking new 'Questions for Further Discussion' at the end of each chapter
- Addresses fundamental issues in contemporary society such as social exclusion, social division and the nature of happiness
