Description

Realist thought in political theory seeks to avoid abstraction and idealization, focusing instead on the distinctiveness of politics and its realities. This approach aims to provide meaningful answers to fundamental questions of political life by affirming reality. Politics Recovered brings together prominent scholars to develop what it means to theorize politics "realistically." The volume addresses pressing issues such as global justice, inequality, poverty, and democracy, exploring how a realist approach can aid our understanding of these topics. Contributors engage with various other realist approaches, including feminist theory and international relations. By examining the nature and prospects of realist thought, Politics Recovered shows how political theory can provide compelling answers to the questions of politics.
