Great Books, Bad Arguments: "Republic, Leviathan," and "The Communist Manifesto" Hardcover - 2010
by W. G. Runciman
From the rear cover
"Why have Plato's Republic, Hobbes's Leviathan, and Marx's Communist Manifesto retained their enduring appeal, despite their often wildly implausible assumptions about human motivation and political action? No one is more qualified to answer this question than Britain's most eminent sociologist cum philosopher and historian, Garry Runciman. Great Books, Bad Arguments is not only lucid, but like the best detective fiction, keeps the reader guessing until the very end."--Gareth Stedman Jones, King's College, University of Cambridge
"Spirited and provocative."--Ian Shapiro, Yale University

Description:
Hardback. New. Plato's "Republic", Hobbes' "Leviathan", and Marx's "Communist Manifesto" are universally acknowledged classics of Western political thought. But how strong are the core arguments on which they base their visions of the good society that they want to bring into being? This book shows where and why they fail.
