Idiots burn books for the same reason philosophers write them – they matter. But why exactly do political philosophy books matter, not to mention the hundreds of articles published every year? In part because they are interesting, but also because they are influential. They are mind-altering and, in turn, world-altering. Political philosophers write their books for the same reason political revolutionaries read them – they change the world.
In this short and original book, Jonathan Floyd explains three things: what politicalphilosophy is, how you can do it, and why you might want to. Accessibly written forthose coming to the subject for the first time, it is also a must-read for scholars whoseresearch takes in the nature, methods, and purposes of their field. It is also a must-burnfor anyone who dreams of a dumber, thicker, less enlightened world.
