Focusing on key metaphors in modern political philosophy, the book delves into the state of nature and the social contract, dedicating each chapter to various social contract theorists and their interpretations of liberal equality and freedom. The final chapter addresses contemporary challenges to these established views, offering a critical perspective that balances traditional contractarian ideas with modern critiques. This unique approach positions the book as a significant contribution to the discourse in political philosophy.
