EDITORIAL

The individual and the community are two sides of the same coin. The one cannot exist without the other. Each can only be understood with and through the other.

The theme of ‘individual and community’ is rather wide. However, the articles of this VOX edition can be grouped into three areas. First, there is political theory. John Stuart Mill’s view on individuality is discussed as well as the charge that liberal political philosophy entails a form of ‘asocial individualism’ (p. 22). Professor Colin Bird provides a contentious, yet enlightening explication of the terms in which most of the discussion in contemporary political philosophy takes place (p. 10).

Secondly, there are texts on public policy, including a proposal for a world parliament (p. 28).

Lastly, two articles deal with the particular subject of women, with Hiranmayee Mishra discussing the role of women in India’s grass-roots politics (p.18).

The next edition will be on the ‘Financial Crisis’ and related areas.
