Praised widely upon hardcover publication, Alan Ryan's
"masterpiece" (David Ulin, Los Angeles Times) blends history and
philosophy to examine three thousand years of political thought.
Drawing on three decades of research, Ryan insightfully traces the
origins of political philosophy from the ancient Greeks to the
present and evokes the lives and minds of our greatest thinkers in
a way that makes reading about them a "remarkable experience"
(Jeremy Waldron, New York Review of Books). Whether writing about
Plato or Augustine, Tocqueville or Jefferson, Ryan illuminates John
Dewey's dictum that the role of philosophy is less to see truth
than to enhance life. With this "epic" (John Keane, Financial
Times) tour de force, Ryan affirms his place as one of the most
influential political philosophers of our time.
