Book excerpt: Focusing on the historical context in which political theorists have developed their thinking, this textbook provides an invaluable introduction to students of political thought.

The theorists' ideas are assessed with reference to the politics of their time and show how they responded to, or interacted with, the political events and issues of their day.
