Title Classics in Moral & Political Philosophy: An Open Collection Project Team Creator: Rafael Martins (ramartns@gmail.com) KU Libraries Project Assistant: Josh Bolick KU Libraries Digital Initiatives Coordinator (KU ScholarWorks): Marianne Reed Project Overview This is a collection of classics in moral and political philosophy containing only public domain and fair-use material. The primary role of this collection is to provide instructors, students, and researchers with a set of free materials. It unites in chronological order the most indispensible historical texts for an introduction to value theory, broadly construed. As such, the collection includes foundational works in intrinsic value theory, practical reason, normative ethics, metaethics, political theory, and political economy. It encompasses the most perennial topics in political philosophy such as justifications of the right to rule (governmental authority, political legitimacy) and the duty to obey (political obligation), competing conceptions of human nature, the significance of individual liberty, the point of equality, assessments of private and common property systems, and the nature of a just distribution of goods.
