Kamm, Mária Ludassy, Steven Lukes, Gyorgy Markus, András Sajó, Gáspár Miklós Tamás, Andrew Arato, Timothy Garton Ash, Béla Greskovits, Will Kymlicka, and Aleksander Smolar. The studies explore a wide scope of subjects that belong to disciplines ranging from moral philosophy, through theory of human rights, democratic transition, constitutionalism, to political economy. The common denominator of the studies collected is their reference to the scholarly output of János Kis, in honor of his sixtieth birthday. János Kis is a distinguished political philosopher who, after many years spent as a dissident under the Communist regime, emerged as an important political figure in Hungary's transition to democracy. Currently he is University Professor of Philosophy at Central European University, Budapest.DemocracyLiberalismPolitical sciencePhilosophyDemocracy.Liberalism.Political sciencePhilosophy.320.51Kis Janos1943-427001Dworkin Ronald William509331MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910961295903321From liberal values to Democratic transition4357607UNINA
