Publisher's Synopsis
""Politics and Vision: Continuity and Innovation in Western Political Thought"" by Sheldon S. Wolin is a comprehensive exploration of the evolution of political thought in the Western world. The book examines the historical context and philosophical ideas that have shaped political theory over time, from ancient Greece to modern times. Wolin argues that political theory has always been a product of its time, shaped by the historical and social conditions of the era in which it was developed. At the same time, he also argues that there are certain enduring themes and ideas that have persisted throughout history, such as the tension between individual freedom and social order, and the struggle for power and control. Through a careful analysis of key thinkers and their works, Wolin traces the development of these themes and ideas over time, showing how they have been adapted and transformed in response to changing circumstances. ""Politics and Vision"" is a rich and insightful work that will appeal to anyone interested in the history of political thought and the evolution of political ideas in the Western world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
