Public Philosophy in a New Key: Volume 1, Democracy and Civic Freedom Paperback (Ideas in Context, Series Number 93) - Softcover

'Overall, this is a rich and also timely work; it is historically erudite, analytically subtle and passionately engaged.' The Cambridge Law Journal

'Tully regards his political philosophy as a public philosophy, engaged in a constant dialogue with political agents. Where and how this dialogue takes place and which political effects it will have are questions beyond its control. The gap between theory and practice thus turns out to be a limit even for a theory that, as far as possible, conceives of itself as practice. Tully's work is exemplary in pushing this limit in ways from which both theory and practice can learn a great deal.' Constellations

James Tully is Distinguished Professor of Political Science at the University of Victoria, Canada. He is one of the most distinguished political philosophers in the world.
