"This volume presents lucid and insightful lectures on three great figures from the
history of political thought, by John Plamenatz (1912-1975), a leading political philosopher
of his time. He explores a range of themes in the political thought of Machiavelli,
Hobbes, and Rousseau, at substantially greater length and depth than in his famous
work of 1961, Man and Society. The lectures exemplify Plamenatz's view that repeated
engagement with the texts of canonical thinkers can substantially enrich and expand
our capacity for political reflection. Edited by Mark Philp and Zbigniew Pelczynski,
the volume includes annotations to supply Plamenatz's sources and to refer readers
to developments in their interpretation. A substantial introduction by Philp sets
some of Plamenatz's concerns in the light of trends in recent scholarship, and illuminates
the relevance of his work to the contemporary study of political thought"-- ; "This
