À propos de cet audio
Without even realizing it, we all use the fruits of political philosophy. From liberty to democracy to community, the terms and concepts originated by political philosophers are ingrained in our global consciousness. Yet many of us have an incomplete picture of how these ideas developed and, quite possibly, a skewed perception of their intentions and implications.
This highly relevant course sheds light on the labyrinth of Western political and social theory, as well as its influence on modern history. Guided by an award-winning professor of philosophy and author, these eye-opening lectures reveal how political philosophers, in responding to the societal problems and changing conditions of their day in revolutionary ways, created virtual blueprints of action for leaders. You'll gain not only the tools to comprehend the omnipresent language of politics, but a thorough understanding of the wellspring of thought that has emerged over centuries of political philosophy and the intellectual origins of major historical movements and events.
Throughout, questions of democracy, freedom, and distributive justice are addressed, and revolutionary figures who have left an indelible mark on history - from Niccolo Machiavelli to Ayn Rand - are encountered.
By the conclusion of lecture 36, you will have the context necessary to appreciate the evolution of a myriad of political ideas, including hot-button topics of today such as libertarianism, neoconservatism, feminism, and environmentalism.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Attention Audible: Edits needed
Thank you professor Cahoon!
Audible there are a number of places where Professor Cahoon seems to repeat himself which one assumes we’re meant to be edited out. Please fix!

Excellent overview of the topic.
Cahoones course provided exactly what one would expect, a very balanced and scholarly review of the major thinkers in this discipline in the western traditition over the last few centuries. His lectures are accessible for interested learners from any sort of background, he signposts his lectures well and defines and discusses important general concepts that link the various thinkers and provides the tools for the listener to develop their own opinions and ideas. The breadth of the course and choice of topics is spot on, including the prominent philosophers in the conservative, liberal, libertarian, communitarian and postmodern schools, as well as pragmatists, feminists and environmentalists. The lectures are broken into reasonable 30-50 minute segments, ideal for a thoughtful afternoon or commute. #Audible1
