This insightful Handbook reviews the key frameworks guiding political scientists and historians of political thought. Comprehensive in scope, it covers historical methodology, traditions, epochs, and classic authors and texts, spanning from ancient Greece until the nineteenth century.Elucidating the evolution and current state of the field, the Handbook emphasizes the value of studying the history of political ideas to gain a critical perspective on our own embedded cultural predispositions. Authors analyze various intellectual schools, such as Stoicism, Christianity, Islam, Liberalism, Republicanism, and Libertarianism, and discuss hermeneutical strategies to reading historical texts, including approaches from the Cambridge School and the Straussians. Providing a broad overview of Western political ideas, an international range of contributors also demonstrate cognizance of global theoretical movements and their significance for historical inquiry. They reexamine the standard canon of political thinkers in light of topics such as gender, colonization, and race, exploring the ideas of, amongst others, Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Wollstonecraft, and Marx.Accessible to undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as established scholars, this Handbook is a crucial resource for academics in political science, philosophy, intellectual history, and economics, as well as scholars who study economic thought, law and politics. It will also appeal to scholars seeking a clear understanding of the key concepts that continue to influence contemporary theory and research across the social sciences.

Thomas Carlyle and the Political Universe: From American Transcendentalism to an Elusive Post-Liberalism recognizes and reckons with Thomas Carlyle's broad and deep influence on politics, on a global scale. Having influenced and inspired iconic and impactful political thinkers and actors such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, John Stuart Mill, Charles Dickens, Karl Marx, and Martin Luther King Jr., among so many others, Carlyle is a captivating persona in modern political history. In this way, if there is one person who could be said to be the central figure of what may be called the "political universe," all that the term politics comprises, Brian Wolfel argues that it is Thomas Carlyle. As the point of nexus of so many political figures embodying such a diversity of political persuasions, Carlyle is also a significant philosopher in Plato's lineage whose ideas can be further constructed and developed in the context of the work of prominent 20th-century political thinkers such as John Rawls, Alasdair MacIntyre, Jacques Ellul, and Sayyid Qutb. Carlyle's conceptualization of transcendentalism in Sartor Resartus was a foundation for Emerson, Thoreau, and American Transcendentalism. In the midst of ideological battle in the 20th and 21st centuries, among such ideologies as liberalism, communism, fascism, and Islamism, Carlyle's transcendentalism largely went unnoticed as a potential ideological competitor. Carlyle's transcendentalism can be developed and constructed in the contexts of modern political theory and religion, and can be defended and promoted as a potential post-liberalism, a refinement of and evolution from liberal democracy and capitalism.

Mertens, Stefan, Die Wiedergewinnung der Wuerde des Politischen: Eine Untersuchung der werkgeschichtlichen Entwicklung des systematischen politischen Denkens G. W. F.

Die vorliegende Abhandlung beansprucht eine Verteidigung der Philosophie gegen den von Hannah Arendt geaeusserten Vorwurf ihrer prinzipiellen ≫Feindseligkeit≪ im Hinblick auf den Sachverhalt des Politischen in der Weise einer Darstellung der werkgeschichtlichen Entwicklung des systematischen politischen Denkens G. W. F. Hegels (1770?1831) auf der Grundlage seiner philosophischen Position eines ontologischen Monismus zu sein. Diese Untersuchung zeigt, dass sich die Entwicklung des systematischen politischen Denkens Hegels mit einer fruehen staatstheoretischen Hinwendungsphase, einer philosophischen Grundlegungs- und Orientierungsphase, einem phaenomenologischen Abschnitt und einer philosophischen Ausfuehrungs- und Ausdifferenzierungsphase in vier grundlegenden Phasen vollzieht, und dass er mit seinem metaphysischen politischen Denken in inhaltlicher Hinsicht wesentlich den Anspruch verbindet, dem Sachverhalt des Politischen eine eigene Wuerde zu verleihen.
