History of Political Thoughts Book Description We are faced with a giant work written about Western political thought. Alan Ryan, who has been teaching political philosophy for many years in Great Britain and the United States, is undertaking an initiative that we have not seen in Anglo-Saxon literature since George Sabine and John Plamenatz. It examines, one by one and meticulously, the two thousand five hundred years of adventure of political thought, from Herodotus to Rawls, the answers given to the question of how best to govern societies, the periods and movements, the concepts and analyzes developed by thinkers who influenced their age and today, within their historical, intellectual and moral contexts. In this voluminous work prepared in twenty-seven chapters, Ryan deals with the Classical Period, the Christian World, the Modern Period and the World After Marx, respectively. While famous thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, Augustinus, Thomas Aquinium, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Mill, Hegel and Marx are included independently in the book, Classical Rome, the Medieval World, Humanism, Reformation, the Founding of America, the French Revolution, Socialism, Empire. and under titles such as Imperialism, Fascism, Democracy in the Modern World and Global Peace, Polybius, Cicero, John of Salisbury, Dante, Marsilius of Padova, Bartolus, William of Ockham, Erasmus, More, Montaigne, Montesquieu, Burke, Kant, Madison and many other thinkers are mentioned. This magnificent work, which is the product of thirty years of labor and knowledge, will undoubtedly fill an important gap in its field. In this context, Alan Ryan's History of Political Thoughts can be taught as a textbook in our history of political thought courses, and it also appeals to readers who are interested in the field of political thought and want to deepen their knowledge about thinkers and movements.
