John W. Chapman on Political Philosophy - Dictionary of Arguments
Gaus I 100 Political philosophy/Chapman/Gaus: John W. Chapman (1965)(1) argues that all political theories are inherently comprehensive as they combine an account of social reality, epistemology, psychology and ethics to provide political diagnoses and prescriptions. ((s) For comprehensive liberalism see >Liberalism/Waldron, >Liberalism/Gaus). Gaus: Liberalism certainly has been understood as a political theory in this sense, a truly comprehensive liberalism - an overall theory of Gaus I 101 inquiry, social life, as well as the good life and political justice. I have argued elsewhere (Gaus, 2000b) that liberal theory over the last hundred years has been characterized by recurring debates about the psychologies, value theories, epistemologies and theories of self and society, as well as principles of justice that must or may form part of a truly liberal comprehensive philosophy. 1.
