About this title

Review:

"This is a consistently illuminating and, in terms of its own aims, successful study of a topic long neglected, especially in the English-speaking literature. For the care and intelligence with which Rosen addresses it, the author is owed a special debt of gratitude."

--Susan Meld Shell, Boston College "American Political Science Review "

Synopsis:

Argues that Kant derived his principles of justice directly from the Categorical Imperative, that he did not support the absolute or near-absolute duty to obey governments though neither did he advocate the minimal state, and that he had good reasons for repudiating the right to revolution.
