In this book, Charles Larmore redefines the distinctive aims of political philosophy, reformulating in this light the basis of a liberal understanding of politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause political life is characterised by deep and enduring conflict between rival interests and differing moral ideals, the core problems of political philosophy are the regulation of conflict and the conditions under which the members of society may thus be made subject to political authority. We cannot assume that reason will lead to unanimity about these matters because individuals hold different moral convictions.

Challenging both the classical liberalism of Locke, Kant, and Mill, and more recent theories of political realism proposed by Bernard Williams and others, Larmore argues for a version of political liberalism that is centred on political legitimacy rather than on social justice, and that aims to be well suited to our times rather than universally valid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eForceful and thorough yet concise, \u003ci\u003eWhat Is Political Philosophy?\u003c\/i\u003e proposes a new definition of political philosophy and demonstrates the profound implications of that definition.
