Political Philosophy: Overview


Political philosophy is some dense, difficult, and dreadful stuff.  Most of the time, PP is just people arguing about why one particular political system is the best, and it drags on throughout an entire book.  This can make it difficult to read, boring for most of the time, and repetitive.

This compilation of Political Philosophy information will include the teachings of five philosophers.  For one of these, you can analyze the novels on the IB exam!!  Please read them first, though.  Please.

The philosophers and their books are as follows:
Plato's *Republic
Machiavelli's The Prince
Hobbes' The Leviathan

*book can be used on IB Exam
