<br/><br/> To truly understand the substance and value of any great philosopher?s work, students must examine political theory against the backdrop of history, the surrounding literature, and the individual theorist?s views on human nature and rational motivation. In this third edition of his classic text, Edward Portis provides students with the framework they need to fully appreciate the original texts they are reading and apply the concepts they are learning.
