Political Thoughts in the West from Socrates to Jacobins

Polis, the name of the ancient Greek city-states, is considered the perfect starting point of the historical journey followed by the state in Western political thought. The French Revolution of 1789, although it owes its existence to many developments before it, has become the symbol agreed upon to mark the breaking point that heralds the "old world" and a brand new world, the "bourgeois world". For this reason, the book in your hand begins with Ancient Greece and closes with the French Revolution. A journey or a return to the archaic but timeless roots of modern political thought... Who knows, maybe, as both a Greek thinker, Epicurus, and a contemporary writer, Ursula K. LeGuin, said, "real "Progress is reversal."
This study, which is the joint product of experienced names and young generation academics of Ankara University Faculty of Political Sciences, which is the most established educational institution in Turkey in the fields of political science in general, political theory, political philosophy and history of political thought in particular, is a reference book for university undergraduate students. In addition to being unique, it offers an enjoyable journey to all readers who want to follow the adventure of political thought.
