Items related to Communitarianism and Its Critics
Many have criticized liberalism for being too individualistic, but few have offered an alternative that goes beyond a vague affirmation of the need for community. This book, written in dialogue form, offers a defence of a distinctively communitarian theory which should stimulate interest and debate among scholars of political theory and those approaching the subject for the first time. The book should be of interest to academics and undergraduate students of political theory, political philosophy and moral philosophy.

Review:
the liveliest and most accessible introduction to the intensely important debate between liberals and communitarians that has yet appeared. For that reason alone―and quite apart from its persuasive advocacy of the communitarian cause―his book is very welcome: it will engage anyone torn between the rival claims of community and personal freedom in modern life, which, of course, is all of us. (Guardian)
A clear and very readable, indeed enjoyable, piece of writing. The dialogue form is used skilfully to bring the communitarian position to life and to give an overview of the debate between it and liberalism which is central to current social philosophy. (Times Higher Education Supplement)
