In this innovative new text, Mark Mattern offers a unique
alternative to the traditional approaches to the study and teaching
of political philosophy. Rather than approaching it solely as a
world of abstractions, Putting Ideas to Work emphasizes its
practical task. Political ideas drawn from historical and
analytical political philosophy are used to help rethink current
public problems and imagine potential solutions to them. Putting
Ideas to Work is organized around five central tensions in
political theory and practice: individual and community, freedom
and equality, justice and political order, democracy and
capitalism, and power and citizenship. Each section begins with a
description and analysis of several contemporary public problems
arising from these tensions. Key political thinkers are then drawn
upon to help understand the genesis of the public problems, and to
offer alternative ways of thinking about them. The text is anchored
throughout to an idea of strong democracy that functions as a
standard against which theory and practice are measured.
