Abstract:
|
This essay suggests a strategy for teaching political philosophy. In response to the usual difficulties in capturing the interest of students and in an attempt to guide them through a detailed consideration of a political theory, a two-step approach is suggested. First the student’s attention is directed to the contemporary relevance of the questions posed by the classical political theorists, and then, a simple model of the internal structure of a political theory is used in order to facilitate the analysis and comparison between theories. |
