History of Political Theory: An Introduction is an engaging
introduction to the main figures in the history of Western
Political Theory and their most important works. Volume I traces
the development of political theory "from the beginning" in ancient
Greece through the Reformation. Main subjects examined include the
Classical political theory of the Greek polis, the Hellenistic
period, the rise of Christian political theory, political theory of
the middle ages, and the Reformation. Major figures examined
include Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine, St. Thomas,
Marsilius of Padua, and Martin Luther. Throughout, the great
theorists are closely examined in their historical contexts, with
extensive quotations allowing them to speak for themselves. Central
concepts employed in their works are carefully examined, with
special attention to how these fit together to form coherent
theories. The works of the great theorists are further considered
in regard to how they bear on issues of contemporary concern, such
as constitutionalism, natural law, and resistance to unjust
authority. The result is not only an exploration of the great works
of political theory but a demonstration of their continuing
relevance.
