Political Ideologies and the Democratic Ideal

Science & Math

BALL, Terence

DAGGER, Richard

Mathematics

Taylor&Francis

This text provides a survey of the major "isms" that have shaped and reshaped the political landscape of our century, and also shows how these ideologies originated and how they have changed over time. In addition to exploring such ideologies as liberalism, conservatism, and socialism, this text offers students a sense of history, structure, supporting arguments, and internal complexity of these and other more recent ideologies. To do this, the authors have constructed a four-fold framework within which to compare, contrast and analyze various ideologies. The text also shows how each ideology interprets "democracy" and "freedom".

Reappraising Political Theory: Revisionist Studies in the History of Political Thought

History

Europe

Oxford University Press

In this lively and entertaining book, Terence Ball maintains that 'classic' works in political theory continue to speak to us only if they are periodically re-read and reinterpreted from alternative perspectives. That, the author contends, is how these works became classics, and why they are regarded as such. Ball suggests a way of reading that is both 'pluralist' and 'problem-driven'--pluralist in that there is no one right way to read a text, and problem-driven in that the reinterpretation is motivated by problems that emerge while reading these texts. In addition, the subsequent readings and interpretations become more and more suffused with the interpretations of others. This tour de force, always entertaining and eclectic, focuses on the core problems surrounding many of the major thinkers. Was Machiavelli really amoral? Why did language matter so much to Hobbes--and why should it matter to us? Are the roots of the totalitarian state to be found in Rousseau? Were the utilitarians sexist in their view of the franchise? The author's aim is to show how a pluralist and problem-centered approach can shed new light on old and recent works in political theory, and on the controversies that continue over their meaning and significance. Written in a lively and accessible style, the book will provoke debate among students and scholars alike.

Ideals and Ideologies: A Reader (7th Edition)

Longman

The extensively revised new edition of this bestselling text continues to provide an accessible overview of the major political ideologies, their origins, and their development. In addition to examining the major “isms” – liberalism, conservatism, socialism, and fascism – the book offers readers the history, structure, supporting arguments, and internal complexities of these and recently emerging ideologies. The text utilizes a fourfold framework – a definition of “ideology” in terms of the four functions ideologies perform – within which to compare, contrast, and analyze the various ideologies. In addition, the book also shows how each ideology interprets “democracy” (which the authors characterize as an ideal rather than an ideology) and “freedom.” In examining the latter notion, the authors analyze each ideology’s view of freedom in terms of agent, obstacle, and goal.

Political Ideologies and the Democratic Ideal (7th Edition)
