This collecion considers political theory as a creative enter prise, with emphasis on the theoretical pluralism that stimulates current political study. In the 1950s political theory was termed a lost discipline, lacking a raisond'etre and dominated by the dogmas of scientific behaviourism and logical positivism. This volume firmly asserts theory that political has regained vitality and the capacity for progressive development. The editors' ahalytical introduction assesses the nature of the rebirth of political theory as a discipline, and the collection of wide-ranging essays written from a great variety of viewpoints-explores the major problems that confront political theorists today and opens up new areas of discussion and argument.
