  Making Sense of our Political Lives - On the Political Thought of Bernard Williams
 
 
Title: Making Sense of our Political Lives - On the Political Thought of Bernard Williams
Author: Sleat, Matt
Appeared in: Critical review of international social and political philosophy
Paging: Volume 10 (2007) nr. 3 pages 389-398
Year: 2007-09
Contents: This article explores the relationships between Bernard Williams's ideas about the nature of philosophy, of political philosophy and the foundations of his own political thinking. Williams's understanding of philosophy as a humanistic discipline is shown to inform what he takes to be the appropriate aims and concerns of political philosophy. However, he also took political philosophy to be philosophising about a subject matter sufficiently distinct that it requires a set of concerns broader than those derived from its status as a sub-branch of philosophy. Thus, the foundations of Williams's political philosophy relate both to the aims and concerns of philosophy generally and political philosophy more specifically.
