Political Theory and Partisan Politics

Product Description


Renowned theorists address the interconnections between those who engage in political struggle and those who study it.




Review


“This topic is important not only for the relationship between political science and political theory, but also for the relationship between intellectuals and politics. This collection breaks new ground. Those essays that discuss traditional thinkers place them in new contexts; others give new life to continuing issues of constitutionalism and argumentation. This book contributes important insights.” ― Nancy S. Love, author of Understanding Dogmas and Dreams: A Text
