In this collection of essays, John Dunn brings his characteristically
acute and penetrative insight to a wide range of political issues. In
the first essay, 'The history of political theory', Professor Dunn
argues for the importance of a historical perspective in the study of
political thought. Other pieces engage with central concepts of
political philosophy such as obligation, trust, freedom of conscience
and property. A group of studies tackle specific contemporary problems
and future dangers, for example racism and the dilemma of humanitarian
intervention. The volume as a whole articulates the many dangers, but
also the huge importance of, contemporary politics, and provides a
representative collection of work by one of the most astute political
commentators writing today.
