In this way the authors provide a basic sense of the history and development of political thought and a critical grasp of the theoretical and philosophical issues at the heart of politics.\u003cbr\u003e Beginning with the idea that laws and constitutions are only beneficial insofar as they give effective expression to our moral and political beliefs, the authors argue that moral and political ideas are the foundations of politics. Political philosophers covered in depth include: Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Marx, Bentham, Rawls, and Burke. Key concepts such as the moral order, liberty, human nature, freedom, the social contract, distributive justice, liberalism, socialism, feminism, human rights, and multiculturalism are also all covered. In exploring these issues the authors offer a critical guide through key arguments in the history of political thought and contemporary political theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peri Roberts, Peter Sutch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.16h x 6.22w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814775707\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRoberts, Peri:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003ePeri Roberts\u003c\/b\u003e is a lecturer in political theory at Cardiff University.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSutch, Peter:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003ePeter Sutch\u003c\/b\u003e is a lecturer in political theory and international relations at Cardiff University and is the author of \u003ci\u003eEthics, Justice and International Relations\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New York University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40571085750387,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":47.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_87ba7403-c6d7-48a0-b7c5-0ffc9aaffd8c.jpg?v=1668177319","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/an-introduction-to-political-thought-key-concepts-and-thinkers-9780814775707","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
