{"product_id":"women-and-men-political-theorists-isbn-9780631209805","title":"Women and Men Political Theorists","description":"This much-anticipated work is a rich and insightful collection of essays that restores women and minorities to the arena of political theory and debate. Philosophers such as Mary Astell and Mary Wollstonecraft argue alongside traditional theorists, including Rousseau and Locke, in a unique historical dialogue. Arranged by several key themes, each covered by both men and women theorists, the book amounts to a rediscovery of women's political philosophy in arguments over both traditional and feminist concepts. Also provided are substantial biographical details about the writers, and secondary source material for the student and researcher.  \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I sources of Political Authority\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 The Second Treatise of Government 20\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eJohn Locke\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 A Serious Proposal to the Ladies\/Some Reflections upon Marriage\/An Impartial Enquiry into the Causes of Rebellion and Civil War\/The Christian Religion 39\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMary Astell\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II Enlightenment and Counter-Enlightenment\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 63\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Discourse on the Origin of Inequality 73\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eJean-Jacques Rousseau\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 A Vindication of the Rights of Women 94\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMary Wollstonecraft\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III Conservation or Revolution as the Path to Democratic Change\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 125\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Reflections on the Revolution in France 131\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eEdmund Burke\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 A vindication of the Rights of Men 147\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMary Wollstonecraft\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart IV Federalism and Anti-Federalism\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 171\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 The Federalist 178\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eJames Madison\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Observations on the New Constitution 192\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMercy Otis Warren\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart V Thoughts on Minority Rights and Liberty – From Servitude to Privilege\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 205\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Writings and Addresses 214\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMaria W.
