Beschreibung
'Bracingly intelligent ... a wonderful read' Guardian
'Incredibly timely ... presented [with] wonderful elegance and clarity' Irish Times
Based on the History Of Ideas podcast series by Talking Politics host David Runciman, Confronting Leviathan explores some of the most important thinkers and prominent ideas lying behind modern politics - from Hobbes to Gandhi, from democracy to patriarchy, and from revolution to lock down.
While explaining the most important and often-cited ideas of thinkers such as Constant, De Tocqueville, Marx and Engels, Hayek, MacKinnon and Fukuyama, David Runciman shows how crises - revolutions, wars, depressions, pandemics - generated these new ways of political thinking. This is a history of ideas to help make sense of what's happening today.
Rezensionen
<p><b> Praise for <i>How Democracy Ends: </i></b><br>Presented in pellucid prose free of the jargon of academic political science, it is a strikingly readable and richly learned contribution to understanding the world today...one of the most luminously intelligent books on politics to have been published for many years.</p>

Clear-headed, compact and timely
Incredibly timely ... wonderful elegance and clarity through which complex ideas are presented ... That the book helps make thinking about the state enjoyable is just the least of its many exceptional qualities
Bracingly intelligent ... a wonderful read
Full of intriguing new lines of thought
Refreshingly free of received and rehearsed wisdoms, Runciman doesn'
A brilliant introduction for anyone looking to engage with political debates beyond the headlines ... Excellent
Refreshingly, rather than a knicker-twisting diatribe about Trump and Brexit, Runciman offers a thoughtful analysis about what popular democracy means, and its alternatives
