Abstract

Over the past 35 years, normative political theorists and political philosophers have gone from forming small, outcast minorities in their respective fields to being at the forefront of research in both philosophy and political science. Philosophers have come to realize that their contribution to ethical and political discourse can involve much more than the mere analysis of moral language, while political scientists have largely abandoned their insistence on a wholly value-neutral social science in favor of fruitful collaboration with the normative theorists in their midst. The result has been a far richer understanding of the ideals of justice which ought to govern our democratic society.
