The most comprehensive single volume history of political philosophy text on the market covering all the key themes and thinkers from antiquity to the present day.
Accessible and engaging, it traces the development of arguments and controversies from ancient Greece, through different forms of community, state and empire, to today’s more global concerns.
Unlike other books on the market which are organised chronologically, this book adopts a primarily thematic approach to the topic.
Major thinkers covered include Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, Machiavelli, Grotius, Locke, Spinoza, Montesquieu, Hume, Kant, Rousseau, Burke, Hegel, Marx, Mill, Lenin, Schmitt, Nietzsche, Foucault, Oakeshott and Rawls.
Lucidly written by a leading academic in the field, this book is the perfect introduction to a very important topic.
