The textbook introduces central questions and texts of political philosophy. Which political courses of action are legitimate? How can political rule be justified? When does an action become a political action? From the theories of the social contract to contemporary theories of democracy, philosophy strives to answer these questions. The introduction familiarises students with these theories, the classical arguments and historical developments in political philosophy. In addition to classical positions, it also provides an overview of positions and debates in contemporary political philosophy and enables independent reading of central works in political philosophy.
