Forlagsbeskrivelse af Political Thought af Jonathan Wolff
Contains 140 helpful readings covering the debates in the Western political tradition and presents samples of the political ideologies. Issues discussed in this title include: the role of human nature in determining social arrangements; the political significance of gender differences; the justification for the powers of the state; and more. Human beings live together in societies which, by their very nature, give rise to institutions governing the behaviour and freedom of individuals. This raises important questions about how these institutions ought to function, and the extent to which actual systems of government succeed or fail in meeting these ideals. This Oxford Reader contains 140 key writings on political thought, covering issues about human nature and its relation to society, the extent to which the powers of the State are justified, the tension between liberty and rights, and the way resources should be distributed. Topics such as international relations, minority rights, democracy, socialism, and conservatism are also discussed, by contributors ranging from Plato and Aristotle to Foucault, Isaiah Berlin, and Martin Luther King.
