Raymond Geuss, Philosophy and Real Politics Hans Sluga, Politics and the Search for the Common Good Both are very sceptical of the attempt to formulate a general theory of how the world should be in the abstract. They have a different take on political theory. Geuss also recently wrote a brilliant series of intellectual portraits of ten or so figures from the history of moral/political thought, which is extraordinarily incisive, but also very accessible. It's called Changing the Subject: Philosophy from Socrates to Adorno.
