- This is a sustained examination of the question of interpretation in the history of modern political thought. It is multi-layered and dialectical in its investigation that spans 431 pages. It considers eleven substantive historic theories of politics and eight interpretive schemes for understanding them. It reviews the nature and conditional validity of these schemes of interpretation by applying them to particular historic theories. It establishes the pros and cons of the interpretive schemes and develops an overview of how the nature of interpretation in political thought is best understood. The depth and breadth of its inter-related arguments are notable.
