Political Science By Abrar Ahmed Nearpeer PDF

What to expect?

In this book, I have attempted to present political philosophy in a simple and accessible manner, without compromising on the depth and complexity of the subject. Although aimed primarily at competitive exam aspirants, anyone interested in exploring the works of key political philosophers will find it enlightening. As for the competitive exam, it has all the ingredients to make your preparation and exam-attempting strategy qualitatively superior to other candidates. First, the book is divided into six parts on the basis of historical cras to facilitate a chronological understanding of philosophical traditions. Second, each philosopher is preceded by a set of past paper questions to save you time and maintain exam focus. Third, a concise outline at the beginning of each section helps you review key concepts during time constraints. Fourth, there are many visuals including images and charts to facilitate retention while also giving you tools to boost your exam score through enhanced presentation skills. Fifth, I have attempted to apply the knowledge I’ve accumulated on these philosophers over the years, frequently revisiting my old books and articles, to produce intellectually rigorous and comprehensive study material for this book. Sixth, each philosopher’s legacy and critical analysis are uniquely included in this book to enhance the analytical depth of your answers and distinguish you from other candidates. Seventh, a table, inspired by The Politics Book, at the start of each philosopher summarizes key information including who inspired and was inspired by them; something you won’t find in other conventional resources. And most importantly, all past paper questions relating to each philosopher are adequately answered in each section. In short, this book serves as an all-inclusive source for preparing the political philosophy component of the Political Science course.

However, this book should not be considered a substitute for the online course at Nearpeer, rather, the two are complementary in nature. While the online lectures provide detailed explanations through audiovisual media, similar to in-person learning, this book can serve as a comprehensive source material for your preparation. In fact, the book is so detailed that you may not need to create your own notes. So, by combining the strengths of the online course with this book, you can optimize and accelerate your learning experience.

In the end, my goal is to encourage learners to think critically and form their own opinions on the political ideas that govern our lives. I hope this book inspires you to delve deeper into the world of political philosophy and encourages you to be a more engaged and informed citizen.
