      Exploring the tension between idealism and realism in political philosophy, the book examines whether the discipline should envision an ideal society or address the complexities of a world filled with moral disagreements. It highlights the contributions of notable thinkers like Bernard Williams, Stuart Hampshire, and Isaiah Berlin, advocating for a political realism that focuses on coexistence amidst diverse values. Edward Hall develops a contemporary framework for understanding politics in the 21st century, emphasizing practical approaches to living together despite fundamental disagreements.

      Value, Conflict, and Order
    • Based on a pair of comic dramas from ancient Rome, "The Comedy of Errors" presents a spectacle of pure farce in the spirit of utmost fun and--as the title suggests--hilarious confusion. Two sets of identical twins provide the basis for ongoing incidents of mistaken identity, within a lively plot of quarrels, arrests, and a grand courtroom denouement. One of Shakespeare's earliest dramatic efforts, the play abounds in his trademark conceits, puns, and other forms of fanciful wordplay. It also foreshadows his later and greater comedies, offering students and scholars a valuable key to the playwright's development.

      My conscience hath a thousand several tongues, And every tongue brings in a several tale, And every tale condemns me for a villain. Veď svedomie má tisíc jazykov, a každý z nich svoj príbeh rozpráva a v každom z nich hrám rolu podliaka. Tragédia Richard III. patrí medzi najznámejšie Shakespearove historické hry, za čo azda vďačí dokonale zápornému podaniu historickej postavy Richarda III. aj pôsobivému vykresleniu mechanizmov moci. Shakespeare Richarda III. nezobrazuje verne a zrejme z politických dôvodov v ňom sústreďuje všetko zlo a zášť, akých je schopná ľudská bytosť. V jeho podaní je Richard III. prefíkaný politik, čo baží po moci a uznaní a pri ceste za svojím snom sa neštíti klamať, intrigovať ani vraždiť. Čitatelia a diváci s bázňou i odporom sledujú, ako spriada plány a manipuluje svojím okolím, až do momentu, keď ho dobehne vlastné svedomie a on odrazu čelí démonom výčitiek a duchom tých, voči ktorým sa tak kruto previnil.
