Editorial Reviews

Review

"A particularly useful feature of the volume is the reading list which accompanies each entry ... a useful book." Sunday Times

"A reliable and scholarly work." The Good Book Guide

"Supersedes all previous reference works in the field of political thought." Australian Journal of Politics and History

"No political scientist (or theorist) who can afford it should be without it." Australian Journal of Political Science

From the Back Cover

Encompassing the whole spectrum of the history and theory of politics from Socrates to Rawls, this is the most comprehensive and scholarly reference work available on its subject.

The 350 entries, written by a team of 120 international specialists, are a balanced blend of full-length survey articles and shorter definitions. Key concepts in political thought are defined and analyzed, and ideologies are considered in relation both to historical context and to contemporary politics. All articles are cross-referenced and indexed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exceptionally helpful, November 2, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Blackwell Encyclopaedia of Political Thought (Blackwell Reference) (Paperback)
While the previous reviewer is correct, that Strauss's "history of political philosophy" is more in-depth, one benefit of this book is its lack of a Straussian angle. Not that Strauss's views are bad or wrong, but it is a bias.

This work's sheer amount of entries is very useful. While some articles are somewhat brief, it is a good starting point for students of political philosophy. Done by among the best minds in the field, any political philosopher who wants to have a handy reference to terms and authors should order a copy of this book.

This review is from: The Blackwell Encyclopaedia of Political Thought (Blackwell Reference) (Paperback)
Very useful book for the students of political philosophy, together with Strauss' _History of Political Philosophy_, which is richer in content (but less entries). (^^;
