What is political philosophy?
(GPT): Political philosophy explores questions about the nature, purpose, and organization of political systems and societies. It seeks to understand the principles and values that underlie political systems, as well as the ethical and moral considerations that guide political actions. Political philosophers often examine concepts such as justice, equality, freedom, power, authority, democracy, rights, and the role of government. They analyze different forms of government and try to develop theories or frameworks for evaluating them. Political philosophy also examines the relationship between individuals and society, exploring ideas about individual rights, social obligations, and the balance between individual interests and collective welfare. Overall, political philosophy aims to provide a deeper understanding of politics by critically examining its fundamental concepts and principles.

如果中文翻译可能也是政治学。英文叫 philosophy 强调了这是建立在人逻辑思考基础上的学问，可能由此跟science 区分。
历代的思想脉络大概可以概括为 Hobbs, Machiavelli, Rousseau, Marx

因为这几天的巴以事件，对最后一章比较感兴趣，就先看了看这章讲国家之间的关系和未来可行的国际政府局势。作者似乎不太喜欢某些宗教，直接把某些宗教排除出民主自由阵营了，觉得他们是对立的。
- 但是为什么呢？我想看到更多的论述。
- 我们现在称某些宗教是邪教，到底怎样的才算邪教呢？
- 如果某些宗教也不能和民主社会兼容，那可否称其为邪教呢

读完。
目前我的理解是哲学是基础，回答了一些基本问题以后再可以继续讨论政治，是为政治哲学。
其实最近有一种风潮比较流行，就是阐述人的自由意志可能很大程度受到基因等很多先天条件的影响，因此自由意志可能非常有限。如果这取得更大的共识真的会很大地动摇现在的整个哲学体系，以及政治哲学，也就是包括社会组织政府架构等的整个人类行为的模式。The Righteous Mind 一书甚至试图论证群体的行为模式（道德）也受到基因的影响，很大程度上是先天决定的。
