Section | Political Theory: Issues and Challenges

The family is central to contemporary social, political and moral horizons, and yet its profile in political theory remains comparatively marginal and sporadic. It will feature in debates about children, procreation, and the rights and obligations of relatives – but often incidentally, rather than as a focal point in its own right. And yet, as feminist and other political theorists have argued, due consideration of the nature, scope and functions of family life seems crucial to an adequate account of social justice, and to an understanding of the normative contours of contemporary social life.
