Political Thought In England From Locke To Bentham

""Political Thought in England from Locke to Bentham"" by Harold J. Laski is a comprehensive study of the evolution of political philosophy in England during the 17th and 18th centuries. The book examines the ideas of prominent thinkers such as John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, David Hume, and Jeremy Bentham, and analyzes their impact on the development of modern political theory.Laski explores the major themes of political thought during this period, including the nature of government, the role of the individual in society, and the relationship between liberty and authority. He also examines the social and historical context in which these ideas emerged, and the political events that shaped their development.Through his analysis, Laski argues that the political thought of this period was marked by a tension between individualism and collectivism, and that this tension continues to influence political discourse today.
