Modern Political Theory is Just That. Philosophical disciplines are defined by the questions they address. Political Theory focuses on the nature and purpose of human association. Aristotle says that human beings are [political animals and, therefore, we must co-operate with others not only to survive, but also to develop our moral and intellectual faculties in association with other people. problems of communal life have been apparent since when the society first arose. Some of these can be seen today: how to preserve order, to protect the weak from the strong, to provide for the common defense, to care for these unable to care for themselves. But more fundamental questions must also be addressed, including the overall goals communities should pursue. Because of the dependence o specific question of general ones, we might have arrived at an impasse and if we can’t, them we have the problems. One of political theory as great contributions is that it attempts to provide answers. To make clear of our relationships to the state political theory is of inestimable importance. We wlll have to investigate also to some of the answers provided by the most important political theorists of the modern age. The book deals with different aspects of political theory and is in eighteen chapters on –natural rights, utilitarianism, liberals and conservatives, anarchists and socialists, the new liberalism and the foundations of the welfare state, justice, the claims of need and politics, Marxism, communitarianism, feminism, post colonial political theory, past influences and future development, building new men, concerning violence, the doctrine of the sword, postmodernism and poststructuralism, truth and power and contingent foundations.
