An Essay on the Modern State
This important book is the first serious philosophical examination of the modern state. It inquires into the justification of this particular form of political society. It asks whether all states are "nation-states," what are the alternative ways of organizing society, and which conditions make a state legitimate. The author concludes that, while states can be legitimate, they typically fail to have the powers (e.g. sovereignity) that they claim. Christopher Morris has written a book that will command the attention of political philosophers, political scientists, legal theorists, and specialists in international relations.

My America
"Photographer Christopher Morris is a founding member of the photojournalist agency VII, based in New York. Morris produced My America while covering the first and second administrations of U.S. President George W. Bush for TIME magazine. Over the past five years, while taking photographs from his vantage point as a correspondent close to the center of American power, Morris documented a personal vision in these photographs that reflects an America at the intersection of patriotism and control, politics and devotion. My America is the first monograph of Morris's work."--BOOK JACKET.
The Social Contract Theorists
This reader introduces students of philosophy and politics to the contemporary critical literature on the classical social contract theorists: Thomas Hobbes (1599-1697), John Locke (1632-1704), and Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778). Twelve thoughtfully selected essays guide students through the texts, familiarizing them with key elements of the theory, while at the same time introducing them to current scholarly controversies. A bibliography of additional work is provided. The classical social contract theorists represent one of the two or three most important modern traditions in political thought.

Questions of Life and Death
Featuring sixty-seven classic and contemporary selections, Questions of Life and Death: Readings in Practical Ethics is ideal for courses in contemporary moral problems, applied ethics, and introduction to ethics.
