Political theorists in context 

 - London  Routledge  2010 
 - 260 p. 
<br/><br/> Focusing on the historical context in which political theorists have developed their thinking, this textbook provides an invaluable introduction to students of political thought. The authors address a series of canonical major thinkers in the context of three world-changing epochs: the English, French and Industrial revolutions. The theorists' ideas are assessed with reference to the politics of their time and show how they responded to, or interacted with, the political events and issues of their day.<br/><br/>Contents: <br/><br/>PART I  A WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN: THE ENGLISH REVOLUTION<br/><br/>1 John Milton<br/>2 The Levellers and the Diggers<br/>3 Thomas Hobbes<br/>4 John Locke<br/><br/>PART II REASON AND REVOLT: THE FRENCH REVOLUTION<br/><br/>5 Montesquieu<br/>6 Jean Jacques Rousseau<br/>7 Edmund Burke<br/><br/>PART III  ALL THAT IS SOLID MELTS INTO AIR: THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION<br/><br/>8 John Stuart Mill<br/>9 Karl Marx<br/>10 Mikhail Bakunin and the anarchists
