Politics

Politics is the study of a number of great thinkers and their views, called the Analysis of Modern Politics. Its not however very modern with the majority of thinkers being quite old! However many of their lessons can be applied to today - Hobbes, Siyes, Constant, Weber, the authors of the federalist papers, de Tocqueville, and Schumpeter. Marx, Ghandi, Kant Fukuyama and Schmitt are also studied.
