About this listen
This book examines the central idea of political philosophy.
What is political philosophy? Well, it could be defined as the study of the process by which humans compete against each other to see the policies that would best serve their own self-interest become public policy or custom or law. It is also a study of morals as political philosophers attempt to determine what type of policies would be best for any given human society.
So, through the centuries, that is where the main debate among philosophers has centered: What is the best society for humans, how is that constructed, and is it viable?
