This book combines philosophical, intellectual-historical and political-theoretical methodologies to provide a new synoptic reading of the history of German political philosophy. Incorporating chapters on the political ideas of Luther and Zwingli, on the politics of the early Enlightenment, on Idealism, on Historicism and Lukács, on early Twentieth-Century political theology, on the Frankfurt School, and on Habermas and Luhmann, the book sets out both a broad and a detailed discussion of German political reflection from the Reformation to the present. In doing so, it explains how the development of German political philosophy is marked by a continual concern with certain unresolved and recurrent problems. It claims that all the major positions address questions relating to the origin of law, that all seek to account for the relation between legal validity and metaphysical and theological superstructures, and that all are centred on the attempt to conceptualise and reconstruct the character of the legal subject.

German Political Philosophy
The Introduction, Book I, Book II, Book III, Book VI (which was compiled by Taylor drawn from Proclus' other texts but also passages from other philosophers like Julian or Iamblichus), and especially the Additional Notes, were fantastic; but Book IV and V being 1/4+ of the book were quite repetitious (notwithstanding the repetitions of the other books).
I disagree with Proclus' Neoplatonic system. The 'Intelligible Gods', 'Intellective Gods', and 'Intelligible-Intellective God's do not really make ontological sense: If the Intelligible-Intellective Gods exist what's the actual point of the divergence of the Intelligible and Intellective Gods? To me the Intelligible-Intellective Gods (or even just a singular God in three aspects, I.e Intellect) should be a sufficient explanation; yes, there is a distinction between Intellection and being Intelligible, but this is a difference of knower and known: as Plotinus revelead, and even Aristotle ubderstood, the Knower and Known are one.
I wouldn't recommend this one over any other of Proclus' works, it's meticulous to a fault.
I'd describe it as a pile of rock with every 7th-10th page being gold, these nuggets of philosophical gold might make reading it all worth it, but don't haste towards this work before another (like his Commentary on the Timaeus) when these nuggets are present in all his works.
