520 8  What does it mean to say that human beings think 
       politically, and what is distinctive about that kind of 
       thinking? That question is all-too infrequently asked by 
       political theorists, or is dealt with through 
       generalizations, abstractions, and dichotomies. This study
       examines the actual, real-world patterns people display 
       when thinking politically, identifying six features of 
       political thinking. They include the role of making 
       ultimate decisions and regulating all social affairs, 
       ranking collective priorities, mobilizing support for 
       groups or withholding it, conceptualizing social order and
       stability as well as disorder and instability, projecting 
       future visions and constructing plans for a society, and 
       engaging the power aspects embedded in language, by means 
       of reason, rhetoric, emotion or menace. Concurrently the 
       untidiness and occasional failures of thinking politically
       are acknowledged alongside its quest for neatness. 
520 8  A large number of case studies is employed, drawn both 
       from professional political theorists and philosophers and
       from various instances of vernacular usage: politicians, 
       political commentators, or protest groups. Both 
       contemporary and historical evidence from different 
       cultures is utilized in illustrating the theoretical 
       framework of the book. This is the first systematic study 
       of political thinking as a cluster of thought-practices, 
       combining insights from political theory--traditional and 
       recent--the study of language and discourse, and political
       science. This investigation of 'the political' as a mode 
       of thinking challenges many conventional understandings of
       political thought in the current literature, teases out 
       what is political--not philosophical or ethical--in 
       political theory, and locates it as a complex and 
       ubiquitous social practice present at all points of human 
       interaction and at diverse levels of articulation.
