Book Description
In Search of a Political Philosophy is an analysis of the three democratic `isms’ – conservatism, liberalism and socialism – and of the distinct nature of the all-devouring ideology – Marxist communism. The author is concerned with the conscious and unconscious assumptions of the proponents and followers of each ideology, and those of their theoreticians and critics.
