Lectures on the History of Political Philosophy by John Rawls, edited by Samuel Freeman

“John Rawls’s “Lectures on the History of Moral Philosophy,” edited by Barbara Herman, was published in 2000 by Harvard University Press. Rawls there discusses the moral philosophies of Hume, Leibniz, Kant, and Hegel. In the “Lectures on the History of Political Philosophy” . . . he covers Hobbes, Locke, Hume, Rousseau, John Stuart Mill, Marx, Sidgwick and Butler. Although Hume’s view of justice is treated in both volumes, there is otherwise no significant overlap; and the discussion of it in LHPP has a different focus than that in the moral philosophy lectures.’ Read the review at Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews.
