Illusion of Consent: Engaging with Carole Pateman


Add your own review!

Overview

For nearly four decades, the writings of Carole Pateman have been regarded as major contributions to debates within political philosophy and feminist theory. She is the recipient of the 2012 Johan Skytte Prize in political science for ""in a thought-provoking way challenging established ideas about participation, sex and equality."" By critiquing conventional notions of consent at the heart of much modern political thought-hence the title for this volume-Pateman has been a central voice in discussions of such important topics as political participation and democracy, contract theory and sexual equality, liberalism and the problem of political obligation, and most recently social citizenship, welfare, and basic income. These essays, all prepared especially for this volume, deal with issues that have been central to Pateman's work. The authors critically engage with her work while making their own original contributions and advancing ongoing debates.

Reviews

“An impressive collection of essays from many of the leading social and political theorists writing today. The essays develop important new arguments and compose a fitting tribute to Carole Pateman, whose work has had such a major impact, and who offers here a fine afterword.” —Virginia Held, Graduate School, City University of New York “It is difficult to imagine the terrain of recent work in democratic theory without the contributions of Carole Pateman. In this volume some of our most important contemporary theorists take up Pateman’s critique of the politics of consent. The conversation that unfolds illuminates and refines not only Pateman’s own work but more general concerns about the relationship between power and meaningful consent. An outstanding collection of essays.” —Julie Anne White, Ohio University “These essays celebrate, challenge, and apply the significant contributions of Carole Pateman to the field of political theory.” —P. Currah Choice “These papers make a welcome contribution to the explication, expansion, and interpretation of Pateman’s views. The authors really do engage with Pateman’s philosophy; they don’t simply free-associate with key words in her writing. The essays genuinely honor her contributions to political theory and the defense of a practical political agenda.” —Ruth Sample Social Theory and Practice
