Description
So persuasive now as to be nearly invisible, consent theory posits humans as free agents, in whose individual choices must be sought the origin of political and social institutions. Herzog (political science, U. of Michigan) traces the birth of the theory to England in the 1600's, when the holistic view of society was becoming untenable. Very wittily written, and interesting to the general reader as well as the historian and social scientist. Paperback edition unseen. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
