Books by Mark Redhead

Charles Taylor's work as an intellectual historian, epistemologist and normative political theorist has made him a leading figure in contemporary social philosophy. This book examines the problem of political fragmentation through an analysis of Taylor's thought and politics.

In this ambitious study, Mark Redhead explores versions of public reasoning in the works of six of the most important voices in contemporary political theory; Alasdair MacIntyre, Charles Taylor, Hannah Arendt, Seyla Benhabib, Michel Foucault, and William E. Connolly. He identifies an important but as of yet unappreciated version of public reasoning--, one that provides creative and effective responses to questions at the forefront of liberal democratic political thought: human rights, security, and global governance.
