Product Description
John Dunn's Western Political Theory in the Face of the Future demonstrates that the major traditions of thought from which the political values of the modern West have emerged are all, in the light of recent world history, in crucial respects incoherent or flawed. This second edition underlines the drastic changes in the challenges which face the world, in the wake of the Soviet Union's collapse and the end of the Cold War, stressing the ever tighter linking of the global economy with the ecology in which we live, and the problems which this poses for the survival of civilisation.

despite the good idea for this book and many relevant thoughts, John Dunn manages to put many simple things in an extremely complicated manner, with sentences so long and complex, that one should sometimes doubt that this book is recommended for the general reader. Often jumping from one doubtful philosophical concept to another and thereby constantly referring to theorists whose ideas lead to further digressions, it is often hard to follow John Dunn in his line of thought. As to the Tribune's review "Dunn writes like Mozart", I'm sure this particular journalist had no idea about classical music.
