Description
Contract and Domination offers a bold challenge to contemporary contract theory, arguing that it should be fundamentally rethought or abandoned altogether. Since John Rawls's A Theory of Justice was published, contract theory has become central to the Western political tradition, but gender justice is neglected and racial justice almost completely ignored. Carole Pateman and Charles Mills draw on their insights from political science and philosophy to build on their earlier work, exploring the intersections of gender and race in the global sexual-racial contract. They discuss their differences about contract theory, argue for reparations to black Americans via a non-ideal contract, and confront the evasions of contemporary contract theorists. This book is vital reading for anyone interested in political theory and philosophy, as it throws the gauntlet down to mainstream white male contract theory and sheds light on the systems of male and racial domination.
