Although political scientists and their students tended, prior to
the seventies, to approach political theory as the history of
political ideas, a rapid growth of interest in political theory as
the analysis of political concepts led to the publication of this
book. The approach outlined here remains significant today not only
for its contribution to normative analysis, but also because it
shows how political scientists can view their subject matter with a
more profound understanding of the concepts they deal with in their
work. De Crespigny and Wertheimer selected fourteen essays on seven
fundamental political concepts for this volume: power, authority,
liberty, equality, justice, rights, and political obligation. These
essays explore the basic ideas and values of politics, and are the
works of scholars with considerable reputations as theorists among
their contemporaries. They continue to represent some of the best
Anglo-American thinking of the century. The editors discuss the
nature and possibilities of political theory and, in particular,
they examine the adequacy of the criticisms that have commonly been
directed at the main works of "traditional" political thought. They
provide an incisive introduction to each chapter. These explanatory
materials result in a volume that can be used as the primary text
in courses in political theory and political philosophy, in a
course in the history of political thought, or as a guide to basic
issues underlying political thought irrespective of its historical
context.
