History of Modern Political Philosophy :

by Harvey C. Mansfield

Belknap Press: An Imprint of Harvard University Press · 2026 · 336 pages

This sweeping history explores how the idea of mastering the world through reason—from Machiavelli to Locke and beyond—defined modern political thought. Renowned scholar Harvey C. Mansfield argues that this pursuit of "rational control" ultimately led to a crisis, leaving us adrift in a postmodern landscape. For readers interested in the intellectual roots of liberalism and the challenges it faces today, this book offers a profound and thought-provoking examination of where we stand.
