First published in 1953, this seminal introduction to political
philosophy is intended for both the student of political theory and
for the general reader. After an introduction which explains the
nature and purpose of philosophy, Dr Murray provides a critical
examination of the principle theories advanced by political
philosophers from Plato to Marx, paying special attention to
contemporary issues.
The book also makes an attempt to define the essential issues of
philosophical significance in contemporary politics, with special
reference to the conflict between political authority and
individual rights, and to show how the different moral assumptions
underlying authoritarian and democratic systems of government are
ultimately based upon different theories of logic.
