As a result, readers are introduced to political philosophy by doing philosophy. Written in a conversational style, \u003ci\u003eEngaging Political Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e is accessible to students and general readers.　 Instructors can use it in the classroom as a stand-alone textbook, a complement to a standard collection of historical readings, or as a primer to be studied in preparation for contemporary readings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert B.
