This work looks at the contribution made by various sages and philosophers to political debate. The originality of the book lies in its inclusion not just of philosophers and political theorists, but also of psychoanalysts, as a way of establishing how rich a contribution psychoanalysis can make to political theory. The work of many diverse thinkers is explored here: John Stuart Mill, Nietzche, Dostoevsky, Freud, Erich Fromm, Bruno Bettelheim and Erik H Erikson, and the author is keen to present them as people just as much as thinkers.
