Political Philosophy: A Very Short Introduction

Abstract

Political Philosophy: A Very Short Introduction by David Miller, translated by Kasian Techapeera, was published in 2021, contains seven chapters reflecting the nature of philosophy study through political questioning, finding answers, and explaining by giving examples relevant to the current contemporary situations. The book allows readers to learn philosophy study, the general picture of political philosophy from the past to the present. What readers gain from reading this book is an understanding of the diverse ideologies of people living within a political society. However, the chapters within are not divided into subchapters but are written descriptively while posing questions. Once an answer to a question is found, a subsequent question is then asked. This method drives readers to reflect on each topic, contemplate, and find solutions. This is a method of philosophical explanation that differs from other methods, rendering it more difficult for beginners to understand the content of this book.
