All humans think about the world they live in, its history and future, and the ideals by which they want to live in relation to others. How we think today decisively influences the world of tomorrow. This book attempts to bring greater clarity and understanding to political debate. Comparative Political Theory examines the ideas of the major political theorists from before Plato to our own times; the main schools of political thought. This text aims to familiarize students with the need to recognize how conceptual resources in political theory draw from plural traditions. By chiefly exploring the Indian and Western traditions of political theory through some select themes, the overall objective is to appreciate the value and distinctiveness of comparative political theory.
