Reason and Politics explores the central phenomena of political
life and, therefore, of human affairs in general. Amidst the
seemingly endless books on more and more narrowly specialized
topics within politics, Mark Blitz offers something very different.
Reason and Politics: The Nature of Political Phenomena examines the
central phenomena of political life in order to clarify their
meaning, source, and range. Blitz gives particular attention to the
notions of freedom, rights, justice, virtue, power, property,
nationalism, and the common good. At the same time, Blitz shows
how, in order to understand political matters correctly, we must
also understand how they affect us directly. We do not merely
theorize over political questions; we experience them. Blitz also
considers matters such as the powers and motions of the soul, the
nature of experience, and the varieties of pleasure and attachment.
Living at a time when technological change makes it difficult even
to claim convincingly that there are defining human characteristics
and natural limits that we simply cannot change, Reason and
Politics proposes that there are in fact basic phenomena not only
in politics, but that make up human affairs as such. In examining
these central phenomena in a lucid and articulate manner, this book
makes a unique contribution not only to the study of politics but
also to the study of philosophy more broadly. It will interest
undergraduate and graduate students, political scientists and
philosophers, those interested in politics, and general readers.
