Produktbeschreibung

An illuminating account of Raymond Aron's political philosophy and its enduring relevance today

Raymond Aron made major investigations into the dialectic between war and peace, and also developed a sophisticated theory of international relations. Despite this, his body of work has been overlooked compared to that of his more famous contemporaries. This book shines a light on both the man and his work on ideological critique, the philosophy of history, international relations and political economy. The book also discusses Aron's political legacy and argues that a number of his critiques and theories can help us address many of the problems and conflicts of the 21st century.

Key Features

• Introduces Raymond Aron as both a person and thinker, and discusses his significance as a political theorist
• Analyses a carefully curated selection of Aron's political and philosophical writings
• Discusses Aron's political legacy and shows that he developed a number of political critiques and theories that can help us address many of the problems and conflicts of the 21st century
