'A wonderful introduction to history's most influential scribblers' -
Steven Pinker
What is truly at stake in politics? Nothing less than how we should
live, as individuals and as communities. This book goes beyond the
surface headlines, the fake news and the hysteria to explore the
timeless questions posed and answers offered by a diverse group of the
30 greatest political thinkers who have ever lived.
Are we political, economic, or religious animals? Should we live in
small city-states, nations, or multinational empires? What values
should politics promote? Should wealth be owned privately or in common?
Do animals also have rights? There is no idea too radical for this
global assortment of thinkers, which includes: Confucius; Plato;
Augustine; Machiavelli; Burke; Wollstonecraft; Marx; Nietzsche; Gandhi;
Qutb; Arendt; Nussbaum, Naess and Rawls.
In each brief chapter, the authors paint a vivid portrait of these
often prescient, always compelling political thinkers, showing how
their ideas grew out of their own dramatic lives and times and evolved
beyond them. Now more than ever we need to be reminded that politics
can be a noble, inspiring and civilising art. And if we want to
understand today's political world, we need to understand the
foundations of politics and its architects. This is the perfect guide
to both.
