The Flight from Reality in the Human Sciences by Ian Shapiro

This book should have been subtitled "selected papers" to emphasize that it's not a unified work. I liked the three general papers on the methodology of political science, which were about 100 pages in total. I didn't like the 50 pages the author spent on rebutting Richard Posner, whom I've never heard of, or the 50 pages where he responded to comments on his earlier book, which I had not read. The scattered arguments in this book are typical for a book with selected papers. Professionals show more may like it but I certainly don't recommend this book to general readers. show less

The Moral Foundations of Politics (The Open Yale Courses Series) by Ian Shapiro

Bueno, la idea fue leerlo para el curso me parecio tal vez algo aburrido, espero que las clases sean mejores. es una defensa de la democracia un poco como "second best", es decir no será el ideal pero es el mejor sistema, no por la participacion de todos sino porqe en definitiva es el que da la posibilidad de los que "perdieron"· de tener los incentivos y posibilidades de señalar los defectos de los pactos y tratar de procurar que ellos sean modificados
