Rezensionen

"A marvellous achievement. It traces a wide constellation of
overlapping ideas, theories, arguments and thinkers, producing a
comprehensive map of modern ideologies, but with the concerns of
political theory at its core. It will serve as a central text for
undergraduate courses and a distinctive point of reference for
political theorists."

-James Martin, Goldsmiths, University of London

"This third edition of Andrew Vincent's wonderfully
erudite and penetrating study should grace the desks not only of
students of ideology but of every political theorist. His
impressively intelligent feel for ideology, his wise and highly
readable examination of its concrete varieties, and his powerful
command of the literature gift its readers with an invaluable
account of the modern world of political thinking."

-Michael Freeden, University of Oxford
