Description
The Second Edition of this volume retains all the outstanding features
that made the First Edition so successful while incorporating new material relevant
to issues in the political debates of today--subjects such as women's rights,
the "end of history" and the future of socialism. The book is organized
around a series of enduring and provocative political questions that are designed
to illuminate issues in American politics, inducing readers to examine the nature
and substance of their own political beliefs. Featured are the works of twelve
philosophers ranging in scope from antiquity to the present: Plato, Aristotle,
Augustine, Aquinas, Machiavelli, Descartes, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Hegel,
Marx and Rawls. Ideas from the natural and social sciences--including sociobiology,
game theory, cultural anthropology, and developmental psychology--are introduced
and applied to classic philosophical texts. Detailed notes provide references
and sources.
