Description

Book Synopsis
* A major new textbook introducing undergraduate students to the key themes and thinkers in the history of political thought from 1789 to the present day. * Adopts a thematic approach to situate developments in political thinking in historical context.

Trade Review
In recent decades the foundation of political and ethical theory have been widely questioned. In A History of Political Thought, Haddock highlights the emergence of a dilemma that faces all citizens: how we make judgments of value from embedded positions in social and cultural communities. Lucid and original, the text will be of interest to students and scholars of politics, history and philosophy.
