Synopsis

Together with Foundational Problems in Philosophy and The History of Philosophy from Descartes to Hegel, this volume is one of three recent volumes edited by Sweet (philosophy, St. Francis Xavier U., Canada) and Harris (emeritus, philosophy, Northwester U., US) reproducing the works of British/South African philosopher Arthur Ritchie Lord (1880-1941). This volume reproduces Lord's The Principles of Politics, which was originally designed to introduce students at South Africa's Rhodes University College to the idealist thought of T.H. Green's Lectures on the Principles of Political Obligation and Bosanquet's The Philosophical Theory of the State, the standard introductory materials on sovereignty, law, and rights used as texts at Rhodes's second course on Politics in the 1920s and 1930s.

Review

"... The Principles of Politics is, arguably, the most substantial, 'orthodox' text in political philosophy of the third generation of British idealism. While... not a last word, it advances the discussion, and makes an important statement of early twentieth century idealist political thought." - From the Foreword"
