Political Philosophy

Political philosophy is the study of government and the relationship of people to communities. It includes questions about justice, law, property, and the rights and obligations of the citizen. See: Wikipedia

450BC: Confucius - The Analects
355BC: Plato - The Republic
310BC: Aristotle - Politics
1515: More - Utopia
1532: Machiavelli - The Prince
1651: Hobbes - Leviathan
1762: Rousseau - Social Contract
1789: Bentham - Morals and Legislation
1790: Burke - Revolution in France
1792: Paine - Rights of Man

1835: Tocqueville - America
1843: Mill - On Liberty
