Description

Originally published in 1939, this foundational guide to political theory presents the history of political thought alongside historical context of civilisations across ages. The book features extensive quotations from original sources, allowing readers to experience the distinct character and flavour of seminal philosophical writings. Designed for the general reader seeking to understand political theory, this work traces intellectual development through time, placing philosophical concepts within their civilisational settings. Each philosopher and school of thought is examined against the backdrop of the era in which it emerged, creating a cohesive narrative that connects abstract ideas to concrete historical circumstances. This Routledge Library Edition preserves the original text as a comprehensive reference for anyone interested in the evolution of political philosophy from ancient times through the modern period.
