On politics. 2: a history of political thought from Herodotus to the present: Hobbes to the present
Ryan, Alan
Both a history and an examination of human thought and behavior spanning three thousand years, On Politics thrillingly traces the origins of political philosophy from the ancient Greeks to Machiavelli in Book I and from Hobbes to the present age in Book II. Whether examining Lord Acton's dictum that "absolute power corrupts absolutely" or explicating John Stuart Mill's contention that it is "better to be a human dissatisfied than a pig satisfied, " Alan Ryan evokes the lives and minds of our greatest thinkers in a way that makes reading about them a transcendent experience
