Politics and Vision: Continuity and Innovation in Western Political Thought (Expanded Edition)
Winner of the 2006 David and Elaine Spitz Prize, Conference for the Study of Political Thought"[T]he original edition . . . provided the most impressive synoptic interpretation of politics by any recent Western thinker. Measured, assured, and resolutely independent, it was also wonderfully lacking in self-importance. . . . [T]hat first book remains just as illuminating and every bit as imposing; but it is now accompanied by a second and very different book. . . . Its message is chilling: . . . that politics itself, in its generous Western understanding, is well on the way to being eliminated from the experience of human beings. Each of these books is a remarkable achievement."--John Dunn,Times Higher Education Supplement
