"Michael Walzer is widely regarded as one of the world's leading political theorists. In a career spanning more than fifty years, he wrestled with some of the most crucial political ideas and questions of the day, developing original conceptions of democracy, social justice, liberalism, civil society, nationalism, multiculturalism, and terrorism." "Thinking politically brings together some of Walzer's most important work to provide a wide-ranging survey of his thinking and the vision that underlies his responses to contemporary political debates."--BOOK JACKET.
