Books by Professor Richard Vernon

This work shows that liberal democracy can make sense as a single political conception, rather than a trade-off between two different ones. It also points to ways in which polities currently termed "liberal democracies" fall clearly short of the values that might legitimize them.

Provides an introduction to philosophical implications of the surge of political and ethical interest in historical redress. This book addresses main issues and arguments relating to justice, memory, apology and citizenship, and concludes by arguing for a forward-looking approach that focuses on the right of future generations to live just lives.
