This brief narrative survey of political thought over the past two
millennia explores key ideas that have shaped Western political
traditions. Beginning with the Ancient Greeks' classical emphasis on
politics as an independent sphere of activity, the book goes on to
consider the medieval and early modern Christian view of politics
and its central role in providing spiritual leadership. Concluding
with a discussion of present-day political thought, W. M. Spellman
explores the return to the ancient understanding of political life as a
more autonomous sphere, and one that doesn't relate to anything
beyond the physical world.
Setting the work of major and lesser-known political
philosophers within its historical context, the book offers a balanced
and considered overview of the topic, taking into account the
religious values, inherited ideas and social settings of the writers.
Assuming no prior knowledge and written in a highly accessible
style, A Short History of Western Political Thought is ideal for those
seeking to develop an understanding of this fascinating and
important subject.
