"This new study presents the first sustained critical analysis of the political implications of Pierre Bourdieu's sociology. Through a close reading of the political speeches and pronouncements of his later years, Jeremy F. Lane provides a detailed exposition both of Bourdieu's critique of neo-liberalism and of his own political position. Bourdieu's theory of politics is also brought into critical dialogue with the work of a range of other commentators of a broadly Marxist or post-Marxist orientation who have also intervened in such debates - theorists such as Stuart Hall, Ernesto Laclau, Chantal Mouffe, Judith Butler, Slavoj Zizek and Jacques Ranciere." "The first sustained analysis of Bourdieu's politics will seek to assess the validity of his claims as to the distinctiveness and superiority of his own field theory as a tool of political analysis. It will be of great use to students and researchers in sociology, social theory, cultural studies, French studies and political science."--Jacket.

"The Practice of Liberal Pluralism defends the theory of liberal pluralism, a theory based on three core concepts - value pluralism, political pluralism, and expressive liberty - and explores the implications of this theory for politics." "Liberal pluralism helps clarify some of the complexities of real-world political action and points toward a distinctive conception of public philosophy and public policy. It leads to a vision of a good society in which political institutions are active in a delimited sphere and in which, within broad limits, families, civil associations, and faith communities may organize and conduct themselves in ways that are not congruent with principles that govern the public sphere." "Written in a nontechnical style, this book will appeal to professionals in philosophy, political science, law, and policymaking."--Jacket
Covenants without Swords examines an enduring tension within liberal theory: that between many liberals' professed commitment to universal equality on the one hand, and their historic support for the politics of hierarchy and empire on the other. It does so by examining the work of two extremely influential British liberals and internationalists, Gilbert Murray and Alfred Zimmern.
