This book examines the performative role of influential thinkers in
the history of modern Western political thought. The case studies
examine influential political philosophers who saw their writing
role 'performatively', as an exercise in pedagogy designed to
generate a new type of political following among their readers.
Machiavelli, Mill and Nietzsche wrote classic works in political
theory (The Prince, On Liberty, Genealogy of Morals) to reform and
reshape their readers' ability to think and act politically.
Thinkers become performative through what they write in their
public performance; and contemporary academic teachers can use this
to great pedagogical effect in helping students 'get the point' of
political theorising. This book examines how a small sample of
classic theoretical performers wrote their remarkable public works.
John Uhr draws on neglected or forgotten lessons on performative
writing from past masters of literary criticism like Lord
Shaftesbury, R G Collingwood and John Dewey, all of whom can help
those now teaching the history of modern political thought to
enable students to learn the performance of politics acted out by
modernising thinkers capable of writing in ways similar to
Machiavelli, Mill and Nietzsche.
