Dogmas and Dreams: Exploring Modern Political Ideologies – Reader Edited by Nancy S. Love (Paperback)

Description

Ideologies legitimize politics, outline basic values, socialize individuals, facilitate communication, and mobilize people–in short, their study makes for a great entrée into the study of political theory and the discipline of political science. A source both of stability and instability, concord and conflict, the ideologies explored in this anthology show the dynamics of politics through the study of ideas. With 18 of 49 selections new to this edition, Dogmas and Dreams signals a renewed emphasis on political ideologies showing how public discourse–for better or for worse–reflects the complexity and chaos of an increasingly global world. With Nancy Love’s concise and insightful introductions, original selections by influential thinkers challenge students to question their political convictions and thus discover and explore their own political beliefs.
