The slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts. George Orwell, ‘Politics and the English Language’ If one listens one may be convinced; and a man who allows himself to be convinced by an argument is a thoroughly unreasonable person. Oscar Wilde, An Ideal Husband ‘When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean. Neither more or less.’ ‘The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’ ‘The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘who is the master. That is all.’ Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland • Contents List of Boxes xii Preface to the third edition xv 1 Introduction: Concepts and Theories in Politics 1 Language and politics 2 Understanding political concepts 3 What is political theory? 6 Political theory in the twenty-first century 11 Summary 14 Further reading 14 2 Human Nature, the Individual and Society 15 Human nature 16 Nature versus nurture 17 Intellect versus instinct 20 Competition versus cooperation 23 The individual 26 Individualism 27 Individual and community 32 The individual in politics 37 Society 40 Collectivism 41 Theories of society 43 Social cleavages and identity 45 Summary 50 Further reading 50 3 Politics, Government and the State 51 Politics 52 The art of government 52 Public affairs 55 Power and resources 59 Government 65 Why have government?
