This is a comprehensive, up to date and concise guide to one of the most important branches of philosophy.

This book guides the reader through the intricacies of political theory.

Trade Review
Despite the broad and interdisciplinary scope of political philosophy, the book manages to be both concise and comprehensive ... While remaining reasonably neutral [Pike] interjects just enough opinion to make the book a compelling read ... In showing how the diverse concepts fit together, the book succeeds in its goal of providing the philosophical framework needed by new students of this subject. -- Alan K. Pannell, Reference Librarian, University of Colorado ARBA Online
