Modern Political Thought : Readings from Machiavelli to Nietzsche Hardback
Edited by David Wootton
Hardback
Description
Presents unabridged works and substantive abridgments in preeminent translations, along with balanced, lucid, sophisticated introductions.
This book includes a wide and balanced selection of many of the more important texts of modern political thought.
To its great credit, it provides pertinent excerpts from frequently neglected authors, such as Calvin and Hume, which it nicely juxtaposes appear to be good, and the introductions to each section help to situate the writers in their historical and intellectual context and to alert students to some of the central issues that arise in the texts.
This book offers an economical and useful approach to modern political thought.
