Abstract

Academic political science seldom deals with the political aspect of thinking and judging. Through a wide set of empirical objects, this volume fuses sociological analysis of political thought and culture with conceptual, historical, and rhetorical approaches to thinking politically. In everyday speech, ‘political’ commonly alludes to partisanship or to expediency, as opposed to normative judgement.
