This book is a textbook designed for teaching a new subfield in
political science: the emerging field of "comparative political
theory." It is the first such textbook. As taught in American
universities, political theory has been traditionally confined to
the history of Western political thought from Plato and Aristotle
to Hegel and Nietzsche. The editor believes strongly that this
limitation is no longer tenable in our globalizing age when
different cultures and civilizations are increasingly communicating
and interacting with each other. The text focuses on three areas:
Islamic civilization, Indian civilization, and Far Eastern
civilizations. In each area the text offers an introduction
followed by readings dealing with ancient or classical teachings as
well as modern and contemporary theoretical developments. In making
these selections, the editor has been ably assisted by experts in
the respective fields (Roxanne Euben, Anthony Parel, and Theodore
deBary). The text is meant mainly for undergraduate classes but can
be consulted with benefit also by more advanced students as well as
by the general reading public.
