Political philosophy in the twentieth century

This book demonstrates the rich diversity and depth of political philosophy in the twentieth century. Catherine H. Zuckert has compiled a collection of works recounting the lives of political theorists, connecting each biography with the theorist's life work and explaining the significance of his or her contribution to modern political thought. The works are organized to highlight the major political alternatives and approaches. Beginning with essays on John Dewey, Carl Schmitt, and Antonio Gramsci, representing the three main political alternatives liberal, Fascist, and communist at midcentury, the book proceeds to consider the lives and works of migrs such as Hannah Arendt, Eric Voegelin, and Leo Strauss, who brought a continental perspective to the United States after World War II. The second half of the collection contains works on recent defenders of liberalism, such as Friedrich Hayek, Isaiah Berlin, and John Rawls, and on liberalism's many critics, including Michel Foucault, Jrgen Habermas, and Alasdair MacIntyre.

CATHERINE H. ZUCKERT is currently Professor of Political Science, as well as Editor-in-Chief of The Review of Politics , at the University of Notre Dame. She has written several books, the most recent of which is Plato's Philosophers: The Coherence of the Dialogues . Her books have won several awards, including the R. R. Hawkins Award for the Best Scholarly and Professional Book in 2009; the PROSE Awards for Best Book in Philosophy and Excellence in the Humanities; and the PSP Award for the Best Book in Philosophy and Religion in 1990.
