Work
Hallward is currently working on a three part project on key philosophers of the political will, Rousseau, Marx, and Auguste Blanqui. He is simultaneously working on a larger book entitled 'The Will of the People,' which will "develop and defend a notion of democratic political will, understood as a rational, deliberate, and autonomous capacity for collective self-determination."
