The answers work through the central debates of Political Theory-Concepts and Debates. Question 1 explains Isaiah Berlin’s two concepts of liberty, the negative tradition of Hobbes, Bentham and J.S. Mill’s harm principle, the positive tradition of Rousseau, Hegel, T.H. Green and Marx, Berlin’s warning about the “higher self”, and later critiques by Gerald MacCallum, Charles Taylor and the republican idea of freedom as non-domination, with a side-by-side comparison table.

Question 2 covers Marx’s four dimensions of alienation from the 1844 Manuscripts, commodity fetishism from Capital, Lukács’s idea of reification and the difference between objectification and alienation, supported by an original diagram and a three-way comparison table.

The middle section explains John Rawls’s equal basic liberties, the original position and veil of ignorance, the priority of liberty and the worth of liberty; Robert Nozick’s argument that self-esteem is comparative, his reply on envy and his entitlement theory; and a clear comparison of desert, merit and entitlement. The short notes cover social justice (Rawls, Iris Marion Young, Hayek and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar), climate change and climate justice (UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement), theories of political obligation, civil disobedience (Thoreau, Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. and Rawls) and tolerance (Locke, Mill, Ashoka and Popper’s paradox of tolerance).
