Essential illustrated guide to key ideas of political thought. Philosophers have always asked fundamental and disturbing questions about politics. Plato and Aristotle debated the merits of democracy. The origins of society, the state and government authority were issues addressed by Hobbes, Rousseau, Hegel, Marx and many other philosophers. Introducing Political Philosophy explains the central concepts of this intriguing branch of philosophy and presents the major political theorists from Plato to Foucault. How did governments get started? Why should they be obeyed? Could we live without them? How much power should they have? Is freedom a right? Which is the best form of government? In the wake of consumerism and postmodernism, our need for a better grasp of political ideas is greater than ever. Dave Robinson's account of this complex subject is always clear, informative and accompanied by the entertainingly inventive illustrations of Judy Groves.

    Economic Determinism
    But then Marx famously discovered that Hegel “stood on his head” and had to be “turned upside down”. What Marx meant was that ideas cannot determine human reality but – the other way round – that objective material forces and economic realities are what determine human ideas. This is why Marx is familiarly known as a “dialectical materialist”.

    Hegelian political philosophy was adopted by German “Right Hegelians” who thought that the Prussian State had more or less reached the final dialectical stage of perfect rationality and should remain unaltered. “Left Hegelians” thought that the Hegelian process still had a long way to go. Who can now remember the names of the former? But everyone has heard of the most famous Left Hegelian – Karl Marx

    In later works, like Agrarian Justice, Paine argued for some kind of welfare state and redistributive taxation. Paine was a great polemicist who defended ordinary people’s right to debate political principles and agitate for reforms.
