Minerva's Owl

Minerva's Owl, which constitutes an important alternative to introductory books written in a dry, artificial and distant style, stands out as a work that does its part in bringing political theory out of Plato's cave and bringing it to light. While the author examines the philosophers who left their mark on the Western political thought tradition within the scope of the great canon extending from Plato to John Rawls, with the help of current and contemporary - sometimes entertaining - examples, he explains that politics actually determines social evolution from top to bottom, surrounds human life in every field and challenges us. He emphasizes that it is a phenomenon that forces people to make choices.
With his simple, interview-like narrative, the author conveys the most complex thoughts of the most difficult thinkers so clearly - without taking away from the content or allowing the meaning to slip - that the difficulties in question are left behind and you are convinced that you really understand these thinkers. Abramson not only invites the reader to develop a deep understanding of our own politics, but also makes us think about radical orientations and insights. This work, which the author distilled from the political philosophy courses he has been teaching for more than twenty-five years, based on the motivation of how to attract the attention of students to this subject and create an eye-opening effect on them about how important politics is, and based on his own concrete experiences, is the immortal work of political theory. It makes the classics understandable to students and the general reader - as no other book has achieved.
