{"product_id":"9780199695454","title":"History of Political Theory: An Introduction","description":"History of Political Theory: An Introduction not only explores the great works of  Western political theory but demonstrates  their continuing relevance.  Volume II traces the origin and development of liberal political theory, and so the foundations for contemporary views.  The work provides\r\na readable, scholarly introduction to the great figures in Western political theory from Hobbes to Marx.  Major theorists examined include Hobbes, Locke, Hume, Montesquieu, Rousseau, Burke, Mill, and Marx, not only major figures in the liberal tradition but liberal political theory's most important\r\ncritics.\r\n\r\nTheorists are examined in their historical contexts, with  extensive quotations allowing them to speak for themselves.  Central concepts employed in their works are carefully examined, with special attention to both  how they fit together to form coherent theories and how they bear on issues of\r\ncontemporary concern.  Major concepts examined include freedom, rights, political obligation, and revolution.  Emphasizing depth rather than breadth, this work is an ideal introduction tool for instructors who have been searching for a text that combines careful exposition of important political\r\ntheorists and clear, critical analysis.","brand":"Klosko, George","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (UK)","offer_id":42459376877792,"sku":"9780199695454","price":31.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/products\/BNCImageAPI_9b916cd2-6559-47e6-91a9-5984224abb6c.jpg?v=1645374556","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/9780199695454","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
