Thinkers as Responses to History

Every political thinker was answering the crisis of their own age. In this masterclass, Rohan Dange traces political theory as one continuous conversation from Plato and Aristotle through Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau, to Bentham, Mill, Marx, and Gramsci, ending with Rawls, Nozick, and Arendt. We connect each thinker's view of the State and Property, map their presence in the last 6 years of PSIR PYQs, and show how their ideas explain climate policy, AI and digital property, land acquisition law, and corporate power today.
