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.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Peter Beilharz praises Lectures on Political Theory 1941-45 as an important contribution, highlighting its significance in making John Anderson's influential ideas more accessible. He notes that while Anderson is well-known in Australian leftist and philosophical circles, this collection allows for a deeper understanding and engagement with his work. Beilharz commends Creagh McLean Cole for his role in bringing these materials to a wider audience.
