These are, of course, political in the sense that they underpin the life of the polis - of that political society, in which people live, communicate and interact as citizens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDealing with modern societies, the story here is the story of the West. The West is based on equality and the respect of human rights and civic freedoms. Elsewhere, it is power, traditions or religions that form the basis of human organisation. The Reader traces the evolution of this right from the beginning - from the philosopher Plato - to thinkers still living and thriving, such as Amartya Sen and Francis Fukuyama. Naturally, the Reader also includes the major challenges to the values and principles of the West, as voiced for example by totalitarian and fundamentalist thinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvgenii Dainov\u003c\/strong\u003e was educated at Oxford, graduating with a First Class degree in 1979.
