bookshelves: philosophy, politics

Thoroughly loved this introduction - especially part 4 and 5 on liberty and equality. Great references for further reading after each section. I found the critique of Isaiah Berlin's esaay "two concepts of liberty" interesting. Defense of liberalism (or rather clarification of the concept of liberalism) vs communitarian critiques was ok. The section of Democracy was boring and the that on Social Justice (Rawls/Nozick/desert claims) was standard. Overall good refresher. I will have to read works of G.A.Cohen and Joseph Raz next.
