| dc.description.abstract | 'Classical Political Thinkers' introduces sixteen central political thinkers from the Antiquity to the early 19th century. Each of these thinkers worked against a context set by the particular problems of their times, but their writings open also perspectives to themes of longer duration, such as human nature, politics and religion, and international relations. The book is basic reading for anyone interested in political philosophy, and its articles are based on latest research in the history of political thought and political philosophy. The contributors are well-known Finnish researchers. | en |
