Abstract

This review considers the concept of the person employed by Peter Lawler, and the difficulties that a purely relational concept of the person faces against a more realist understanding of the person as a partaker of the common good. I suggest how such conceptual problems in Lawler's view of the person also introduce ambiguities that burden his political analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
