Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Since its first publication in 1963, MAN & SOCIETY has been one of the most widely read of all works in political theory and the history of political thought. For generations of students throughout the world, it has been the principal guide to modern thinkers and to the significance of their ideas for contemporary political philosophy and the social sciences. It shows how much our current ideas on the nature of society and government still owe to past doctrines, and how much we might still benefit from better acquaintance with them. Professor Plamenatz's original aim was also to make clear the ways in which political ideas have changed as they developed and were used in different contexts, and to explain how the purposes they serve have shaped their meaning. Some of that more historical material was lost in compressing the work into two volumes. This new edition restores all those abridgements and incorporates substantial revisions and corrections to each chapter, including, here, those on Hegel, Marx and Engels, and the Idea of Progress. An up-to-date list of further readings is also provided for each theme.
