Explores the thinkers who have shaped our world

Ideals and Ideologies: A Reader, 9/e, is a comprehensive compilation of original readings representing all of the major “isms.”  It offers students a generous sampling of key thinkers in different ideological traditions and places them in their historical and political contexts. Used on its own or with Political Ideologies and the Democratic Ideal, the title accounts for the different ways people use ideology and conveys the ongoing importance of ideas in politics.
