Political Philosophy in the Twentieth Century

This book demonstrates the rich diversity and depth of political philosophy in the twentieth century in essays on the lives and works of eighteen eminent political theorists, including representatives of the three main political alternatives - liberal, fascist and communist - in the first half of the century, émigrés like Hannah Arendt and Leo Strauss who brought a continental perspective to the United States after World War II and more recent defenders and critics of liberalism.
