Have Doubts Regarding This Product ? Ask Your Question

  • Q1
    Is this book aligned with the latest UGC NET and UPSC Political Science optional syllabus?
    A1

    Yes, the book’s content from classical to modern political thought comprehensively covers the core thinkers and theories specified in both the UGC NET and UPSC Political Science syllabi.

  • Q2
    Does the book include Indian political thought, or is it strictly Western?
    A2

    This volume is focused exclusively on the Western canon, from Plato to Marx. It does not cover Indian political thought.

  • Q3
    How does this book handle the complex philosophies of Hegel and Marx? Are they explained for beginners?
    A3

    The authors present Hegel’s idealism and Marx’s historical materialism in a structured, simplified manner, breaking down complex concepts like dialectics and class struggle to make them accessible to students encountering them for the first time.

  • Q4
    Is the writing style heavily academic, or is it readable for a general enthusiast?
    A4

    While academically rigorous, the book is known for its clear and explanatory prose, making it suitable for serious general readers interested in political philosophy, not just formal students.

  • Q5
    Does the book compare and contrast different thinkers, like Hobbes vs. Locke or Rousseau vs. Burke?
    A5

    Yes, the chronological and thematic progression naturally facilitates comparison. The analysis within chapters on individual thinkers often highlights their divergences from and reactions to preceding ideas.

  • Q6
    How much space is devoted to medieval political thought (Aquinas, Marsiglio) compared to modern thinkers?
    A6

    The balance is syllabus-oriented. Modern thinkers from Machiavelli onward receive more detailed coverage, but medieval thought is given sufficient treatment to explain the crucial transition to modernity.

  • Q7
    Is there any focus on the feminist or post-colonial critiques within this historical survey?
    A7

    No, this book is a foundational text on the canonical Western tradition itself. It does not extend into contemporary critiques like feminism or post-colonialism, which are subjects for advanced, specialized volumes.

  • Q8
    Can this book be used as a primary text for a semester-long course on Western Political Thought?
    A8

    Absolutely. Its comprehensive range from the Greeks to Marx makes it a standard primary textbook for many undergraduate and postgraduate courses in India.

  • Q9
    Does it include biographical details of the philosophers, or is it purely concept-focused?
    A9

    It integrates essential biographical and historical context for each thinker to ground their philosophy in their era, but the primary focus remains on the exposition and analysis of their political ideas.

  • Q10
    Is the print quality and binding of the New Academic Publishing Co. edition durable for long-term use?
    A10

    New Academic Publishing Co. is known for producing affordable academic texts. The binding is typically functional for paperback textbooks, suitable for regular study use.
