Features: Raymond Aron was a renowned French political philosopher, sociologist, and political commentator of the 20th century, and has always been a focal figure of study in Western academia. This book analyzes Aron's thought in various fields such as historical philosophy, political science, sociology, international relations, etc., based on his probabilistic determinism, revealing that the core of Aron's thought lies in the defense of political rationality. He affirms that humans freely create their own history while also thinking and acting within the given limits of the world. Political rationality is the principle that makes everyone rational, enabling them to make choices and take actions based on their understanding of historical limitations, and to bear the consequences of their actions.
