Items related to POLITICAL THEORY IN RETROSPECT: From the Ancient Greeks...
This book presents a lucid introduction to political thought from Socrates to the present. It succesfully marries the hitherto diverse traditions of history and theory in the search for political understanding. Political theorists share in common an attempt to reveal the reality which underlies the more obvious appearance of the world of politics. Is there a key to unlock the mysteries of politics? And once found, what impact does this have on morality? Is politics a separate world or one which should serve a moral purpose? By examining major thinkers both in the context of their own time and their relevance to the present, the book shows how political theory can be applied to major controversies in the 20th century. "Political Theory in Retrospect" blends historical discussion and philosophical analysis, integrates political theory into the study of modern politics.

Geraint Williams, former Lecturer in Politics, University of Sheffield, UK
Review:
`A concise and engagingly written introductory survey of the history of political thought from Socrates to the 20th Century. . .' -- D. Schaefer, Choice `[Geraint Williams] does an admirable job, and is able to achieve more in the way of insight than one would have guessed possible.' -- Patrick Neal, Political Studies `Geraint Williams has written a very engaging book which in its approach acknowledges the need for historical sensitivity, but not at the expense of gaining philosophical insight. This book is a useful and clear introduction to the political theories of the classic thinkers, as well as to the standard ideologies in modern British politics, and can be read with profit by the intelligent general reader as well as by undergraduate students.' `An excellent and remarkably clear introduction to political ideas and theories' -- Michael Temple, Staffordshire University, UK
