  • Behemoth

    Main Currents in the History and Theory of Political Sociology

    by Irving Horowitz ...
    The title, Behemoth, derives from the Hebrew word Behemah-a beast, an enormous creature, monstrously huge and vast. It is an apt description of the State on the eve of the twenty-first century. Loved by few, vilified by many from all perspectives, it nonetheless continues to grow; by turns rivaling and co-opting that more pleasant-sounding word: Society. Political sociology aims to define and ... Read more

The work is divided into two volumes - the first covering his career ... Read more
