Calhoun's Philosophy of Politics A Study of A Disquisition on Government by Guy Story Brown John C. Calhoun's A Disquisition on Government has been hailed since its publication in 1851 as a classic in political science and has been called the greatest work of American political theory. Guy Story Brown's Calhoun's Philosophy of Politics is the first comprehensive explication de texte of Calhoun's great work on political theory. This traditional textual analysis places Calhoun's theory within the broader context of the political philosophy he himself studied, from Aristotle to Bacon and the moderns on up to Rousseau and the Federalists. It also pays close attention to Calhoun's literary models, such as Livy. The result is the definitive interpretation of Calhoun's political philosophy and theory. This book makes Calhoun's philosophy accessible to contemporary thinkers and shows what Calhoun thought about issues such as world government. Topics discussed in Calhoun's Philosophy of Politics include nature and political science, empire and world government, political science and government, and political science and human progress. Guy Story Brown (Ph.D., University of Dallas) is a former Director of the Fulbright International Scholarships and of the United States Information Agency. He has extensive experience teaching history and classical philosophy. Titles of related interest The Metaphysical Confederacy A Shield and Hiding Place
