Despite this, his body of work has been overlooked compared to that of his more famous contemporaries. This book shines a light on both the man and his work on ideological critique, the philosophy of history, international relations and political economy. The book also discusses Aron’s political legacy and argues that a number of his critiques and theories can help us address many of the problems and conflicts of the 21st century.Key FeaturesIntroduces Raymond Aron as both a person and thinker, and discusses his significance as a political theoristAnalyses a carefully curated selection of Aron’s political and philosophical writings Discusses Aron’s political legacy and shows that he developed a number of political critiques and theories that can help us address many of the problems and conflicts of the 21st century UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781474447102 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781474447102 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781474447102/original ER -
