Product Description
As an introduction to political theory and science, this collection of writings by the great philosophers will be of close interest to general readers. It also serves as a basic textbook for students of government and political theory. Such fundamental concepts as Democracy, the Rule of Law, Justice, Natural Rights, Sovereignty, Citizenship, Power, the State, Revolution, Liberty, Reason, Materialism, Toleration, and the Separation of Church and State are traced from their origins, through their development and changing patterns, to show how they guide political thinking and institutions today.

A wonderful collection May 2, 2008
Seth J. Frantzman (Jerusalem, Israel)
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
This is the first volume in a two-volume set (Great Political Theories V.2: A Comprehensive Selection of the Crucial Ideas in Political Philosophy from the French Revolution to Modern Times) that includes excerpts from the most important political thinkers in world history. Each important thinker such as Plato or Machiavelli is included and each is adorned with a short biography and a piece of their most important contribution. This volume begins in the 5th century B.C or thereabouts and comes up to the mid 18th century. A very good selection of thinkers, all the most important ones are here. This is a great introduction to the history of Political theory and political philosophy, a great achievement and also a wonderful place for anyone interested in the history of philosophy or western thought to begin.

Good book... but March 8, 2009

I have volume 2 - and per a major move (new home, new library, more books, etc)..
I went thru all my books and got rid of some, bought more, traded some, got hardbacks of paperbacks I wanted to replace, etc.
I was relizing I was missing vol 1 after all this time, and decided to get vol 1.. but in my effort to find vol 1... I thought why not hardcover.
Yes you can find v.1 or v.2 in hardcover... but can I find both in one hardcover.
Example, 2 books of asimov on 'guide to the bible' is avialable as 2volumes in one book...
Ive not yet been able to find if these 2 are available that way.
if any advice, let me know..
