The cunning of unreason. Making sense of politics

Starting with the premise thet the professional study of politics can offer us a way to understand why we have so little faith in the political process, Dunn explores competing definitions of politics probing the hidden assumptions and implications of each. Bridging the cademic world of political theory and the public world of debate about democrracy, corruption, globalization,l and the recent trend toward conservatism, Dunn makes an impassioned argument for the enduring relevance of great political thinkers from Aristotle to Marx.
