Books by John Arthur

This book examines the differences in racial perceptions that have been in evidence in recent political events. It addresses an increasingly explosive topic-the black underclass, evaluates possible solutions for it, and focuses on questions of group and individual identity.

This book examines conflicting theories of constitutional interpretation and judicial review, arguing that each of the dominant legal approaches rests on a distinct philosophical conception of democracy. It explores the important implications of utilitarianism and social contract theory.

A selection of readings including "contemporary classics" and diverse responses to the particularly racially-charged controversies that are now dividing America.

Words That Bind presents a careful and nuanced treatment of constitutional interpretation and judicial review. By bringing constitutional theory and contemporary political philosophy to bear on each other, John Arthur illuminates these topics as no other recent author has.
