History of Political Theory: An Introduction not only explores the
great works of Western political theory but demonstrates their
continuing relevance. Volume II traces the origin and development
of liberal political theory, and so the foundations for
contemporary views. The work provides a readable, scholarly
introduction to the great figures in Western political theory from
Hobbes to Marx. Major theorists examined include Hobbes, Locke,
Hume, Montesquieu, Rousseau, Burke, Mill, and Marx, not only major
figures in the liberal tradition but liberal political theory's
most important critics. Theorists are 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 both how they fit together to
form coherent theories and how they bear on issues of contemporary
concern. Major concepts examined include freedom, rights, political
obligation, and revolution. Emphasizing depth rather than breadth,
this work is an ideal introduction tool for instructors who have
been searching for a text that combines careful exposition of
important political theorists and clear, critical analysis.
