Abstract:
There isn’t an overall consensus on the aim, the meaning and the role(s) of contemporary political philosophy. The relationship between philosophy and politics has been addressed and sharpened – not just today - in very different ways, and from various, separate and sometimes conflicting perspectives (Leopold & Stears, 2008). Still, the main aims, the meaning and the role of a field of study are key issues, and the quality and credibility of the research will most likely depend on our capacity to draw a path through this conflicting background. The purpose of this paper is anything more than to give a contribution to draft some elements of a new road-map that could lead contemporary political philosophy out of this crippling impasse. It builds on a specific version of political theory – the Walzer’s interpretation path reviewed (Walzer, 1985) - and addresses a kind of political practice able to reconcile political philosophy’s normative commitments - as is the case with the Rawls’s four roles of political philosophy (Rawls, 2007) - with its actual ambitions and conditions of achievability (Hall, 2015; Galston, 2007).
