A History of Western Political Thought traces the development and consolidation of a tradition of Western political thought from ancient Greece through to the development of the modern state, the American Enlightenment, the rise of liberalism and the very different reactions it engendered.
McClelland's definition of politics encompasses both power wielded from above and power threatened from below. The sustained pursuit of this theme leads him to present an original and often controversial view of the theorists of the received canon and to add some writers to that canon whom he feels have been unjustly neglected.
A History of Western Political Thought will inform, challenge, provoke and entertain any reader interested in what people have had to say about politics in the last two and a half thousand years and why it matters.
A History of Western Political Thought is an energetic, engaged arid lucid account of the most important political thinkers and themes of the last two and a half millennia. It traces the development and consolidation of a tradition of Western political thought from ancient Greece through to the development of the modern state, the American Enlightenment, the rise of liberalism and the very different reactions that it engendered. McClelland's definition of politics encompasses both power wielded from above and power threatened from below. The sustained pursuit of this theme leads him to present an original and often controversial view of the theorists of the received canon and to add some writers to that canon whom he feels have been unjustly neglected.

评分政治是所有人的事,因为它与我们息息相关,而政治与国家的关系尤其密切,因政治是为国家而设,所以麦克里兰在写就这部《西方政治思想史》的过程中,紧紧地结合了国家的演变来介绍政治的变化,如书中从古希腊、罗马等国家的历史背景下深入地为我们介绍了先哲们关于政治哲学思想...
评分我觉得文科最凄惨的地方就是研究了半天,到最后很可能得出一个,咦? 这东西是不是其实从一开始就不存在呀? 的结论 这本厚厚的政治思想史从千年前的柏拉图开始,一路冲到19世纪的帕累托,,,辛苦半天得出一个,,咦? 政治研究好像是没用的嘛 的结论 我的整个阅读过程也差...
