Features: In the field of political theory, the "Cambridge History of Political Thought Original Series" has firmly established its position as a primary textbook series for students. This book aims to enable students to access all the most important original works in the history of Western political thought from ancient Greece to the early 20th century. It includes all the famous classic works, but at the same time, it expands the traditional evaluation criteria to incorporate a wide range of less well-known works. Many of these works had never had a modern English edition available before. The selected original works are published as complete and unedited versions as possible, with translations specifically arranged for the purpose of this book. Additionally, there is a critical introduction, along with a historical timeline, biographical sketches, a further reading guide, and necessary glossaries and annotations. The ultimate goal of this book is to provide a clear outline of the entire development of Western political thought.
