Introduction to political theory : twelve lectures at Harvard

By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: New York; Harper and Row; 1967Description: 182 pSubject(s): DDC classification:
  • 320.5 FRI
Summary: The idea of preparing these twelve lectures, given once a week during the second half of the Harvard introductory course called Government 1, was first proposed by Mr. Rolin Posey, now at New College. They were first given in 1964, and reports about the students' keen interest caused Mr. Posey to suggest that they might be taped and prepared for publication. This was done in the spring of 1965 with the assistance of Professor Isaac Kramnick, now of Brandeis University. The Manuscript was edited by him and reviewed and revised by the author in the spring of 1966 while repeating their oral presentation. Obviously, they do not pretend to be anything but what the title indicates: an introduction for beginners into the vast and complex field of political theory. The very arrangement shows clearly that they are not intended as a survey of the history of political thought.
