Product Description
This anthology puts together the complete texts of many of the masterpieces of modern political theory along with substantial selections from numerous other essays and treatises, from Machiavelli's The Prince to Mill's On Liberty, that have shaped Western political thought over the centuries. Included are well-known works by Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, and Marx, and lesser-known but significant contributions by Spinoza, Adam Smith, Hume, Kant, Burke, Montesqieu, Bentham, and others. A distinctive feature of this collection is the inclusion of many important documents relevant to American history, including the Declaration of Independence, papers from The Federalist, the Constitution, and chapters from Tocqueville's Democracy in America

 small review of Cahn's Classics of M. Political Thought September 28, 2008
Felix A. Jimenez (Tallahassee, FL USA)
Well, I bought this book as a requirement for a class at FSU. The readings are very close to their originals and it makes for a hard understanding which can present difficulties if you need to read 40 pages of Hobbes' theories in one afternoon along with some more hw. The excerpts are nevertheless well presented, very good as a source book and very good to quote from. The book from amazon was also in a very good condition. I am very satisfied
 Good Anthology. August 10, 2008

Basic political theory anthology. Big book with really big pages and SMALL type. Not too bad but a pain to read at length.
