'This brisk and vigorous set of encounters with some of the giants in the history of political philosophy exhibits Professor Zeitlin's characteristic scholarly virtues: passionate concern for justice, and therefore an instinct for the real issues, controlled by a generous openness to the texts, and a capacious historical sense. The result is a refreshingly unpedantic, and richly thought-provoking, new perspective on abiding questions and alternatives.' -- Thomas L. Pangle, Department of Political Science, University of Toronto
Irving M. Zeitlin is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Sociology at the University of Toronto.
'A very useful guide for the beginner in political theory, or for
someone who just wants a refresher course in the Great Ideas.
Zeitlin ... offers an accessible account of the principals of
political theory ... and its major practitioners, such as the
Greeks, Machiavelli, Locke, Rousseau and the authors of the
Federalist Papers.'
