Liberty. Justice. Nature. Law. First formulated millennia ago by
the founding philosophers of the Western tradition, these basic
concepts of human thought remain central to our conception of
ourselves, our place in the world, and our relationships with
others-that is, our politics. Readers encountering such broad
political concepts, their practical expressions in political
movements and systems of government, the ideas of influential
ancient and modern political thinkers--or simply familiar or
unfamiliar catchphrases for which they would like a succinct yet
informative explanation--will welcome this accessible encyclopedic
guide. The major political concepts, themes, issues, movements,
groups, and schools that have developed over time and shaped our
modern world appear here in all their diversity, along with
biographical entries and articles on the principal works of
political theorists from Plato to John Rawls. Further, serious
students and browsers alike will delight in the numerous entries on
familiar quotations and political catchphrases, from the "banality
of evil" and "Big Brother" to the "war of all against all."
Sidebars discussing the work of major political thinkers in the
context of particular entries Bibliography of recent and
recommended print and electronic resources Table of seminal
thinkers and major political leaders whose thought transcended
their historical moment
