 Preface

The second edition of this book includes, among other changes, a new chap­
ter on Cicero. In fact, that chapter is more than its title indicates because it
includes a substantial introduction to the major Hellenistic political philoso­
phies as well as a historical overview of the events surrounding the rise of the
Roman Empire. Because of this expanded coverage of the larger Greco­
Roman tradition of political discourse, I have changed the title of Part I from
"Ancient-Medieval" to the more inclusive "Classical and Medieval" Political
Theory.
I included the new chapter because of requests from instructors who
have used the text as well as my own increasing sense that the brief discus­
sion of Hellenistic political philosophy in the first edition, and the even
briefer references to Roman political thought, was inadequate given the basic
intent of the book. The intent was to present the introductory student with a
basic comprehension of Western political thought from the perspective of a
limited number of key thinkers viewed in historical context and understood
in terms of the changing relationship of ethics and politics in political philos­
ophy from Socrates to the contemporary period. The addition of Hellenistic
political thought and its great transmitter Cicero, the most important and in-

xi
xii Preface

fluential of the Roman political thinkers, enhances the book's objective. Not
only is a considerable historical period in the evolution of Western political
thought now covered in some detail, but important perspectives in the classi­
cal conception of ethics and politics are elaborated in the process.
It is from this broadest historical and thematic perspective that the
chapter on Cicero becomes a necessary addition to the book. Cicero is impor­
tant not because he is a great political thinker in the sense of a Plato or an
Aristotle. Clearly he is not. But as a transmitter of Hellenistic thought and as
a thinker who, more than any other, integrated it with Roman political ideas,
most notably with the Roman emphasis upon law as the foundation of politi­
cal community and as the source of the classical unity of ethics and politics,
he is crucial.
But there is another, in some ways more fundamental, reason for adding
a chapter on Cicero. This book was written with a pedagogical intent. As I
noted in the preface to the first edition, the thinkers and themes chosen are
those that seem most useful in encouraging the student to think critically
about the subject of political philosophy, and about his or her own theoretical
assumptions about the nature of politics. In this regard, Cicero is of particular
importance, for he illustrates something that in my experience few students
ever consider-that political ideas from one era are passed on and modified
to meet the exigencies of another, and in this way become part of the political
consciousness of later generations. To understand our own political assump­
tions is to have some understanding of the evolution and modifications of
these earlier ideas that have implicitly, unconsciously, become our own.
More than any other thinker, with the exception of Aristotle, Cicero modifies
and passes on classical ideas about the nature of law, the political commu­
nity, and republican ideals that form the unconscious substructure of those
political ideas and ideals most Western students value. For this reason alone,
Cicero is important.
There are, in addition, several other revisions and modifications of the
first edition. The introductory part of the St. Augustine chapter now includes
a discussion of some of the key political ideas of the Roman Empire as well
as a more detailed analysis of St. Augustine's theocratic theory of the state.
John of Salisbury, important as a late medieval pre-Aristotelian thinker, is
briefly discussed in the St. Thomas chapter. In the Locke chapter I have
added a section on patriarchy and the political exclusion of women in
Locke's theory of contract. The obvious inconsistencies and paradoxes inher­
ent in Locke's and later liberals' treatment of women, their actual defense of
patriarchy, are hardly dead issues and should not only arouse the interest of
students but provide the instructor with a useful vehicle for explaining the
theory of contract and for probing some of the issues raised by feminist crit­
ics of Locke and "patriarchal liberalism." Finally, the conclusion to the Marx
chapter has been updated to reflect the demise of Soviet and East European
communism and the current "death of communism" debate.
 Preface xiii

Given its pedagogical intent, the general format and style of the book
continue to be designed with the student in mind. It is assumed that the stu­
dent has no background in the history of political thought. Hence, all special­
ized terms are clearly defined in the text and used in a variety of contexts to
better enable the student to grasp their meaning. In addition, an expanded
glossary of terms is provided at the end of the book. And insofar as possible,
given the inevitable limitations imposed on any introductory textbook, each
thinker is dealt with in detail; basic concepts are explained in depth; and the
implications of various political theories are drawn out and analyzed. The ob­
ject has been to render the material understandable by writing at an appropri­
ate level, not by overly simplifying difficult concepts and issues.
As for the specific thinkers discussed, although they do represent most
of the genuinely important theorists in the Western tradition, at least those
that the introductory student should be expected to have some comprehen­
sion of, there are some exceptions. Montesquieu is only briefly mentioned in
passing. Hegel is discussed in conjunction with his influence upon modern
liberal and Marxist thought; he is not given separate treatment. And in the
contemporary period only those thinkers within the major ideological systems
of thought who are intellectually important are analyzed in any real depth.
Where appropriate, I have cited sources that are recognized as classics
in their respective fields. The most current literature is not always cited, but
some of the most enduring is. The object has again been pedagogical: to in­
troduce the beginning student to the mainstream of scholarship in political
philosophy, not to the most current debates in the field. The bibliography in­
cludes some of the most important, or most useful, of the works cited.
The last section of the book, contemporary political theory, covers the
age of ideology from Burke through Marx and the rise of modern national­
ism. Although the term contemporary is usually employed to describe a more
recent period of time, I have chosen to use it in this broadest context because
the major ideological systems of thought that emerge following the French
Revolution still constitute the major focus of political debate. Burke or Marx
or Green are not contemporary political thinkers, but their respective philoso­
phies have remained the touchstones of contemporary political thought. This
remains so even in this "post-modern" era when the boundaries of political
thought have been stretched at times to the point of obliteration.
Finally, I have made some changes in style and format that, I hope, will
make the book more attractive and useful to both instructor and student. I
have eliminated gender specific language wherever possible. I use the male
pronoun only when it is necessary to keep the sense of the thinker being dis­
cussed, to maintain historical facticity, or when for other reasons substantive
or stylistic it seems appropriate to do so. I have also reduced and simplified
the index, which I believe was too long and complex in the first edition to be
as useful to the student as it ought to be.
It is traditional and appropriate to end the preface with a note of thanks
xiv Preface

to all those who have helped bring the book to fruition. Those thanked in the
first edition for critically reading the original manuscript are thanked again:
Joyce and Stuart Lilie, Lynn Berk, and Joel Gottlieb. I should also like to thank
those who critically reviewed the new Cicero chapter and the entire manu­
script of the second edition; their criticisms and suggested revisions were
most helpful. The reviewers of the second edition were Richard Franklin,
University of Akron; Mark N. Hagopian, American International College;
and W. Wesley McDonald, Elizabethtown College. In addition, I must now
add to this list those who have used the text and have been kind enough to
offer their criticisms and suggestions. Where possible, I have tried to follow
their suggestions in this edition. Special thanks are due to Linda Pawelchak
for her fine editorial supervision; the book reads much better because of her
work. Finally, thanks to Linda Whitman for her much appreciated help in
typing and manuscript preparation. I alone, of course, am responsible for the
inevitable shortcomings of this work.
