Review # 1 was written on 2008-03-23 00:00:00 Douglas Lindbo Dr. Sheldon is a brilliant educator. He breaks down the political philosophies of everyone from Socrates to Benjamin Barber, outlining their views in an easily digestible format, discussing their unique perspectives of human nature, justice, and how they relate to political relationships, systems of governance, and more. For those studying politics, this can easily turn into a handbook on political philosophy. If you're interested in learning about political theory, read this book.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-06-02 00:00:00 Brigette Mcnew No doubt subject to many justified attacks in academic circles, which no doubt focus on small problems and ignore the importance and coherence of the argument at a large scale: by the end of this period it was possible, more than ever, to think about 'politics' as something separate from religion and theology. Does that mean that everyone turned into a modern political scientist overnight? Thank god, no. Does it mean that the sequence Bodin to Locke is much, much different than the sequence Augustine-Luther? Yes, yes it does.
