Description

Delivered during the years of heightened national security of World War II, these lectures present Anderson's views on the major questions in political theory in relation to the major influences upon his own early education: modern Idealism and Marxism.

In place of a simplistic contrast between individual and state, Anderson insisted upon the complex interplay of movements, institutions, and traditions. His modernist, realist project drew upon the major theorists of conflict, struggle, and cyclic historical movement: Heraclitus, Vico, and Sorel.

Lectures on Political Theory 1941-45 thus offers a rich exploration of these themes during a tumultuous period in history.
