Críticas
`wide-ranging, deeply thoughtful, often entertaining and always refreshingly readable book ... So judicious and indeed so successful is he in this project that even a careful and sympathetic reader could finish the book wondering how it is that political theory in recent decades has in Ball's account of it come to be a hermetic discipline ... There is much else in Ball's rich and profoundly learned book that repays close study and careful thought'Times Literary Supplement
`Ball makes the `dead' political thinkers come to life. A very readable book.'Paul Norris, Southampton Institute
It is literally impossible to do justice to this book in a short review ... it is a book well worth the reading ... An essential acquisition for libraries serving upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty. (Choice)
Reseña del editor
Machiavelli, Hobbes, Rousseay, Mill and Marx, and Foucault - what really links these and other `classic' political theorists? Not, argues Terence Ball, their common status as `dead, white, European males', but instead the exciting and compelling way in which they can speak to us today.
Professor Ball begins by setting out his liberating view of the way we should approach `classic' texts. Using an approach that is both `problem-driven' and methodologically `pluralist', Ball offers new readings - and reappraisals - of key authors and classic works in political theory. Throughout he argues that the importance of the great texts lies in their repeated reinterpretation in the light of problems that arise for present-day readers.
This tour de force, always entertaining and eclectic, focuses on the core problems surrounding many of the major thinkers. Was Machiavelli really amoral? Why did language matter so much to Hobbes - and why should it matter to us? Are the roots of the totalitarian state to be found in Rousseau? Were the utilitarians sexist in their view of the franchise?
Written in a lively and accessible style, the book will provoke debate among students and scholars alike. Throughout, Terence Ball shows just how exciting and important political theory can be.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. 1. Review "By now George Klosko's two-volume History of Political Theory is an established textbook that has proven to be very useful both for students and teachers. Therefore, one should warmly welcome the fact that Oxford University Press has published a second, updated version. What makes this textbook so useful is the large number of quotations from the primary texts. They give the reader the opportunity to delve directly into these authors' political philosophy and become familiar with their concepts, ways of reasoning and political language." --Political Studies Review Product Description In this book, Terence Ball injects new life into the great works of political theory. By suggesting new ways of looking at the classic texts he shows how they can offer compelling answers to the problems we face today. From the Back Cover Machiavelli, Hobbes, Rousseau, Mill, Marx, and Foucault: what really links these and other 'classic' political theorists? Not, argues Terence Ball, their common status as 'dead, white, European males', but instead the exciting and compelling way in which they can speak to us today. Professor Ball begins by setting out his liberating view of the way we should approach 'classic' tests. Using an approach that is both 'problem-driven' and methodologically 'pluralist', Ball offers new readings - and reappraisals of key authors and classic works in political theory.
