Product Description

Review

"A fine choice for law school courses that explore political theory, justice, or the intellectual background to the constitution. It is comprehensive and includes basic legal texts."--Sheldon Gelman, Cleveland State University

"Perhaps the best thing about it, from a scholarly viewpoint as well as a pedagogical one, is that it has more complete texts than any competing anthology (I have compared them all)."--Carl M. Dibble, University of Michigan, Dearborn

"Excellent selections--how good to see Burke treated as the major figure he is. The introductory essays are fine."--Craig Payne, Indian Hills Community College

Product Description

Classics of Modern Political Theory: Machiavelli to Mill brings together the complete texts or substantial selections from many of the masterpieces of modern political theory. The most comprehensive collection of its kind, this volume includes well-known works by Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Hegel, and Marx, and significant contributions by Spinoza, Montesquieu, Hume, Adam Smith, Kant, Burke, Bentham, and Tocqueville. A distinctive feature is the inclusion of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and numerous papers from The Federalist. An extended introduction to each author's writings, provided by a renowned authority on the subject, features biographical data, philosophical commentary, and bibliographical guides. Ideal for courses in political philosophy and intellectual history, as well as surveys of Western Civilization, this enlightening work presents the authors and ideas which were most influential in shaping modern political thought.

5.0 out of 5 stars small review of Cahn's Classics of M. Political Thought, Sep 28 2008

By Felix A. Jimenez "verruckter leser" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Classics of Modern Political Theory: Machiavelli to Mill (Paperback)

Well, I bought this book as a requirement for a class at FSU. The readings are very close to their originals and it makes for a hard understanding which can present difficulties if you need to read 40 pages of Hobbes' theories in one afternoon along with some more hw. The excerpts are nevertheless well presented, very good as a source book and very good to quote from. The book from amazon was also in a very good condition. I am very satisfied

Basic political theory anthology. Big book with really big pages and SMALL type. Not too bad but a pain to read at length.
