He carefully defines the nature of equality and inequality in relative rather than absolute terms. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Left and Right is a timely and persuasively argued account of the basic parameters of political action and debate in the modern world - parameters which have remained constant despite the pace of social change. The book will be widely read and, as in Italy, it will have an impact far beyond the academic domain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Norberto Bobbio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.33d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745615615\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNorberto Bobbio\u003c\/strong\u003e is Emeritus Professor of Legal and Political Philosophy at the University of Turin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40473669238899,"sku":"9.78075E+12","price":31.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_74575263-f725-465d-9e39-efc89d76ceb4.jpg?v=1664372908","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/left-and-right-the-significance-of-a-political-distinction-9780745615615","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
