Summary: Read, learn, and enjoy...
Comment: Norberto Bobbio (1909 - 2004) was one of Italy's more important political philosophers. He was deeply respected as a writer and as a teacher, and admired for his contribution to political theory and political debate. One of his obituaries said that "to his credit, he founded no school, while influencing many."

I wasn't fortunate enough to have him as a professor, but I was able to learn from him through many of his books, and I would like to share that possibility with others. One of his best books is, in my opinion, "Teoria de las Formas de Gobierno en la historia", first released in an italian edition ("La Teoria delle forme di Governo nella storia del pensiero politico"), in 1976. This book compiles the lectures he gave at an university, during the 1975-1976 academic year.

In "Teoria de las Formas de Gobierno en la historia" Bobbio analyses the ideas of some important political thinkers regarding one subject: forms of government. He pays special attention to Plato, Aristotle, Polibio, Maquiavel, Bodin, Hobbes, Vico, Montesquieu, Hegel and Marx, but also delves into the ideas of others who had an important impact in Political Science.

The central theme in this book is the different forms of government throughout history, and the search for the perfect form of government. However, in order to impart his knowledge on that subject, Bobbio needs to tell us about the general philosophy of each political thinker. Truth to be told, he manages to do that in a captivating way.

After reading this book, you will realize that you have learnt a lot without enduring a boring book. The reason for that is quite clear if we remember that "Teoria de las Formas de Gobierno en la historia" was in first place a series of lectures. We can easily see that even after those lectures were transcribed the book conserved the vitality and rhythm that generally characterizes really good oral expositions.

On the whole I can strongly recommend this book to all those interested in Political Science or History, and also to those who would like to read an interesting and well-written book. For all of you, read, learn and enjoy!!!.
