Men in Political Theory - Hardcover
Men in Political Theory builds on feminist re-readings of the traditional canon of male writers in political philosophy by turning the "gender lens" on to the representation of men in widely studied texts. It explains the distinction between "man" as an apparently de-gendered "individual" or "citizen" and "man" as an overtly gendered being in human society. The ten chapters on Plato, Aristotle, Jesus, Augustine, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Marx and Engels show the operation of the "gender lens" in different ways, depending on how each philosopher deploys concepts of men and masculinity to pose and solve classic problems.

About the Author:
Terrell Carver is Professor of Political Theory at the University of Bristol.
Review:
“The precise importance of Carver's new book therefore is that it transgresses this taken-for-granted view of men (as) in political theory. Reading through this book was both interesting and a pleasure. Men in Political Theory represents a good balance between innovative and expected inclusions.” --Richard Howson, University of Wollongong, Australia and the International Feminist Journal of Politics
