History Of Idea Books

Hardback edition with dust over. Very good condition.

Starting with the political philosophy of the Ancient Greeks, through Augustine, Hobbes and Marx, to the recent thought of John Rawls, this is a coherent and comprehensive survey of all the key thinkers and themes. Designed to reflect the structure of political philosophy courses, this accessible book takes a historical approach to cover a wider amount of material, simultaneously offering fresh perspectives on the subject and examining such searching questions as "can one system of thought organize or define collective human behaviour?" and "how do we quantify the relationship between the individual and the wider world?".

As a master of dramatic dialogue, Plato (427-347 u.c.) has few rivals, and in The Symposium he is at his most incisive and entertaining. The scene is a dinner party for the literati of Athens, the action a series of speeches by the guests. From these there emerge a complete and complex philosophy of love. The pivot of the argument is Socrates' speech in which sensuality is transcended and we move from the sensible to the ideal world. But just as the preceding speeches are vital to the theme and scheme of progression, so too is the brilliant character sketch of Socrates by Alcibiades which rounds off the dialogue. By combining his formidable skills as a philosopher and as an artist, Plato creates in The Symposium an ingenious harmony of thought and word, idea and expression .

Only the imagination, Trilling argues, can give us access and insight into these realms and only the imagination can ground a reflective and considered, rather than programmatic and dogmatic, liberalism.
