On politics

[Anonymous No.12558977]

I'm starting politics. Does anyone have charts or guides about politics, rec books, rec authors, from beginning to "end" (specially "leftist")?

Maybe something like this guide:

I know what the image says but skip History of the Peloponnesian War and read up on it on Wikipedia instead.

>just read hobbes and locke

yeah, from someone who teaches politics at the ivy league level, don't listen to this bullshit, OP. arendt is very much worth it, and there is a wide world of incredibly valuable theory outside of hobbes and locke--the latter of which is really the culmination of suarez, texts from the dutch revolt and the reigning frameowrk of empiricism anyway--e.g. locke is a placeholder for much deeper currents, he just collects them beautifully and powerfully.

Since you have experience in the subject, what would you recommend OP to read?

[Anonymous No.12563239]

>>12563087

any of the charts already supplied are sufficient foundations--but obviously.

my point is not to discount arendt for absolutely no reason, nor to uphold hobbes and locke at the expense of other thinkers.

if OP wants a more detailed list for a more specific subject, i'd be happy to supply.

Oh I'm just trying to mine for recommendations on the subject that I may have missed. Do you know any good political sociology?

[Anonymous No.12563744]

If you're interesting in an overview, On Politics by Alan Ryan is a great history of political thought from Herodetus to the present day. It's very long but I've found it very good.

It could have used an editor. Only part 3 is exceptional.
