Synopsis
Blending high-interest original writing with select primary sources on political theory, From Concept to Dialogue: An Introduction to Political Theory fosters appreciation for and critical thinking about major political concepts. The text poses thought-provoking questions that guide readers into drawing critical information out of challenging material.
Part I introduces students to several concepts that political philosophers assume regarding human nature, knowledge, rationality, and morality. Part II examines different arguments for why government exists, how extensive political authority is, and who should rule. In Part III, students draw upon the knowledge they gained in Parts I and II to consider two main variants of democratic citizenship: liberal citizenship and participatory citizenship. Students are challenged to distinguish between these two models and consider what rights and obligations they have as citizens.
The second edition features updated information and concepts throughout to reflect recent developments in politics and society. The book has been reorganized into three parts to better explore the overarching topics of political assumptions, government, and good citizenship. Dialogue boxes at the end of certain chapters engage students in applying concepts to different situations.
Designed to help readers become more informed on popular policy debates and to inspire a greater level of civic mindedness, From Concept to Dialogue is an ideal textbook for courses in introductory political science and political philosophy.
