Review # 1 was written on 2011-03-26 00:00:00 Kaif Hall This book belonged to my mother, and that's especially why I am keen on it. I used it to prepare studies for J.J. Rousseau. Chapters: The Military Community, The Political Community, The Religious Community, The Revolutionary Community, The Ecological Community, The Plural Community give essence of the work of different authors from Plato to Weber. It gives an overview of the development of western philosophy. Must read again!

Review # 2 was written on 2009-07-08 00:00:00 Rex Jessen This is a good comprehensive book about focusing on communal theories from the history of social philosophers. It separates the social philosophers into categories of political, religious, ecological, and revolutionary. This book is apprently based on a larger book that Nisbet wrote on the subject. I assume the larger volume delves deeper in the subjects and is a smoother read.
