ABOUT THIS SET:
Human Nature and History, a monumental work in two volumes, is an attempt to analyze these relations. It is a work in meta-theory or the theory of political theory. At the most general level, Cumming is concerned with the question of what is involved in the enterprise of political theory or political philosophy and how different conceptions of that enterprise have developed historically. More specifically, he is concerned with the format inposed on the historical development of political thought by Anglo-American liberalism, especially as represented by John Stuart Mill. (Publisher).
