The world faces daunting challenges in the 21st century, from climate change and globalization to pandemics and the impact of technological advances. Can the ideas of past political thinkers help us hone the problem-solving skills needed to address today's practical dilemmas? In Masterpieces of Contemporary Political Thought, Colin Farrelly explores a broad spectrum of historical political thinkers, showing how the successes and failures of these thinkers can yield insights into how to define and address contemporary social and political problems. The book analyzes and critically evaluates the ideas of the ancient Greeks, social contract theory, conservatism, feminism, black political thought, utilitarianism, and Marxism. Farrelly highlights the lessons we can draw from past political thinkers, and engages with their ideas in a way that fosters the intellectual curiosity, insight, and optimism needed to confront current and future societal challenges.
