Recenzii
"This is a comprehensive textbook that covers all the historical periods and the most important topics, ideas, debates, and issues in social and political philosophy, as well as many of the dominant and significant theorists or philosophers. The book is well written and easy to read and comprehend, with very clear expositions, analyses, and commentaries."
Polycarp A. Ikuenobe, Kent State University
"This book provides students with an extremely solid foundation in political theory and political thinking. Within well organised chapters, the authors provide a broad and accessible discussion of political traditions, allowing students to critically engage with a range of issues and apply their thinking to current political developments. There are welcome additions to the new edition, including climate change, racial injustice and civil rights."
Stephen Dixon, Newman University
"No one committed in any way to the understanding of western tradition of political thought should miss this lucid and engaging piece. The authors use simple language to examine and demystify major traditions and approaches of the West to civil societies, writing with insight, wit, and a striking eye for detail. This edition also offers a lively and readable supplement to undergraduate courses in cognate disciplines, including law, philosophy and public theology."
Olufemi O. Ilesanmi, Robert Gordon University
"Authors DeLue and Dale capture the essential questions of civil society by providing comprehensive overviews and critiques of some of the most significant thinkers from Plato to Foucault. Technical yet eloquent presentation of timeless debates on topics such as civic virtue lend very well to much larger discussions in the classroom about equality, culture, and politics. This is a vital resource for liberal arts students."
