A comprehensive, up to date and concise guide to one of the most important branches of philosophy.

Both topical and historical, "Political Philosophy A-Z" has entries on Hobbes, Marx, and Rorty, as well as entries which explain what 'contractualism' is, and give an account of the 'politics of difference.' This book guides the reader through the intricacies of political theory, enabling them to trace their way through a debate, fixing historical and theoretical points of reference along the way. It is well suited for students studying political philosophy at university.

"Political Philosophy A-Z" enables readers to understand the terrain because it clearly explains and links up the positions, thinkers and theories without unnecessary technicality. It is a valuable guide to political theorising.

Industry Reviews

Despite the broad and interdisciplinary scope of political philosophy, the book manages to be both concise and comprehensive ... While remaining reasonably neutral [Pike] interjects just enough opinion to make the book a compelling read ... In showing how the diverse concepts fit together, the book succeeds in its goal of providing the philosophical framework needed by new students of this subject. -- Alan K. Pannell, Reference Librarian, University of Colorado ARBA Online
