Useful as a supplement for high school or undergrads
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book provides helpful commentary and supplements classic readings in political philosophy; I paired it with primary texts by such authors as Plato, Hobbes, and Martin Luther King Jr. It is definitely introductory, and even my undergraduate students found it just a wee bit hand-holding in terms of interpreting the texts for them. However, it was the only text I could find that really laid out possible attitudes towards being governed, the way I wanted to teach the course. A useful framework, worth inspecting! If you're just beginning to wonder what to read in order to learn more about political philosophy, it's extraordinarily readable and clear.
