Suggested Supplementary
Use The Philosopher’s Index and Google Scholar to find supplementary readings on your own. I can give you references for works by the following authors if you would like.
On Mill, there is a good deal of very good work to select from. I recommend anything by Isaiah
For work on Rawls see work by Samuel Scheffler, Samuel Freeman, Joshua Cohen, Susan Moller Okin, and Martha Nussbaum. Many of the articles in the Cambridge Companion to Rawls are quite helpful. Be careful not to dig into anything that is too technical to be of much use to you. There is an enormous literature on Rawls, some of it good, some of it bad, and unfortunately much of it is far too technical to be of help for general use. Do not hesitate to email me for recommendations.
On Hayek, see work by John Gray and Jeffrey Friedman. In addition, Amartya Sen also has a few nice pieces on Hayek online (just search fo them). Many of the negative assessments of Hayek tend to miss the point, though there is certainly much to be wary of.
On Rorty, see work by Richard Bernstein, Thomas McCarthy, Barry Allen or by me. Be wary: much of the published work on Rorty is not very good at all. Please do not be shy about consulting with me before diving into the secondary literature on Rorty.
Foucault has stimulated an immense literature from just about every different disciplinary background one can think of. On Foucault in general see David Hoy and Thomas McCarthy, Critical Theory and Paul Rabinow and Hubert Dreyfus, Michel Foucault. On Foucault and the history of American prisons see Michael Meranze’s Laboratories of Virtue. Much of the best work on Foucault is in the context of feminist scholarship; see Judith Butler, Gender Trouble, Jana Sawicki, Disciplining Foucault and Amy Allen, The Politics of Our Selves and The Power of Feminist Theory.
As for further readings on Young, much of her work is still too new for there to be a sprawling secondary literature. Those interested in her work should consider reading her second book, Inclusion and Democracy, which is also very good. In addition to Young’s work, I suggest work by moderate feminist liberals like Martha Nussbaum and Susan Moller Okin and also by more radical feminists including Carole Pateman, Mary Dietz, and bell hooks.
