Product Description

Review

"Engaging Political Philosophy is recommended for teachers wanting to learn with students willing to discover. This scholarly text sheds fresh light on enduring political issues and stimulates readers to become intellectually and politically engaged with primary sources. It proves that teaching the classics of modern political philosophy is alive and well." Thomas W Simon, Illinois State University <!––end––>

"Levin′s collection would be a fine supplement to an advanced survey course in modern political philosophy. It would also provide particularly valuable insights for nonspecialists preparing to teach such a course." Ethics, October 2003

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the biggest but the best., 8 Jun 2004
By A Customer
After having read most of the chapters for my course. EPP was the most useful text of my reading. It has a friendly format and provides enough information to completely cover the theories of the philosophers. The best chapters are Hobbes and Locke, the rest, especially Marx were lengthy and at times a tough task to get through. The chapter on Marx read more as a historical description than a philosophical analysis. However, many would argue this would be one of the best ways to describe Marx. Thoroughly useful text in comparsion with others on the market, however if you are looking for a simple introduction to each political philosopher, lengthy prose and lack of sub-sections and signalling may put you off.
