Examining histories of political thought and their justifications for forms of rule, this book highlights the persistent and profoundly anti-democratic bias in political and social thought, and analyses in particular the writings of Machiavelli, Montesquieu, Hitler, Gibbon, Carlysle, Michelet, Taine and Freud.
An energetic, engaged and lucid account of the most important political thinkers and enduring themes of the last two and a half millenia. McClelland presents original and controversial views of both canonical and neglected theorists.
