edition revised by Thomas Landon ThorsonPublication datefourth edition: 1973 A History of Political Theory is a book by George Holland Sabine on the history of political thought from Ancient Greece to fascism and Nazism in the 1930s. First published in 1937,[1] it propounds a hypothesis that theories of politics are themselves a part of politics.[2]
That is, they do not refer to an external reality but are produced as a normal part of the social milieu in which politics itself has its being. The book has been translated into Arabic, Greek, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish.[3] In 1973, Dryden Press issued a fourth edition, revised by Thomas Landon Thorson.

Fascism and National Socialism Reviews The book received several favorable reviews soon after publication. Floyd House noted "adequate scholarship, his interpretations are highly intelligent, and
he has covered the ground with surprising comprehensiveness."[4] James Leahigh wrote that it was "as objective and unbiased a study of the many characters presented throughout his work as any hitherto attempted compendious history of political theory."[5] Leland Jenks chose to review it with ten other works on political theory and noted, "Half of
Sabine's material is devoted to men before Bodin, and his treatment of the nineteenth century while brilliant is relatively brief."[6] Jenks considers the natural audience for it to be "best for students who are to apprehend the importance of political speculation in the history of social thought." Jenks admired Sabine's composition: "Sabine is most
successful in integrating theories of successive writers as coherent wholes, and in discerning logical discrepancies. He provides an original and searching critique, from the explicit standpoint of Humean empiricism." The role of value systems in politics is acknowledged: "Sabine is especially effective in showing the relativity of social thought to
general value systems in different societies." When the book was revised in 1950, Journal of Philosophy reviewer C. F. noted the new edition "more strongly emphasizes the wide separation between the moral temper of democracy and that of communism."[7] Thorson edition Thomas Landon Thorson, author of Logic of Democracy (1962) and
Biopolitics (1970), revised A History of Political Theory in 1973 for a fourth edition. He explains the revisions in a preface: A new first chapter has been added which attempts to put the history of political theory into context both of the evolution of man and of pre-Greek, pre-philosophic thought.... A variety of judgements scattered throughout the
discussion have been softened, generally by omitting words or sentences, most notably in the chapter on Hegel where several pages have been omitted. The new first chapter refers to cultural evolution: To borrow a way of talking from biology, we can say that just as nature at a certain time and place evolved mammals, so did the culture-bearing
animal evolve and come to carry with him disciplined, self-conscious political inquiry.[8]: 4  To maintain such an anthropological scope, Thorson sketches the dominant cultures before the arrival of democracy in Greece. He concedes a Middle Eastern dominance. Beginning around 1700 B.C., a wave of invasions from the north opened up a new phase
in development of mankind.[8]: 10  Thorson then quotes William Hardy McNeill: ...a cluster of petty Greek city-states had begun to create a civilization which while drawing upon the Orient for many of its elements, was nevertheless profoundly different in quality. This civilization became a lodestar...[9] Thorson describes the global situation then: The
era of Middle Eastern dominance thereby came to an end; and a complicated cultural interplay began among the major civilized communities of Europe, the Middle East, India and China.[8]: 13  See also Consent of the governed References ^ Sabine G.

Hexagon Used to Explain Type & Subtype (U of Florida Website)Overview of Theory John Holland created this theory based on his work as a vocational counselor. His first iteration of the theory emerged in 1959 and focused on the task of searching for compatibility between personality and environment. Since 1959, Holland’s Theory has evolved
through the original creator and other scholars. Noteworthy concepts that have been added include subtypes and identity. Holland’s theory offers an understanding of people and environments within a vocational context. The first premise is that individuals fit into 6 types that represent distinct interests and values. The second premise is that
environments can be divided into six categories that are similar to the types that describe people. The third premise is that people seek out environments that complement their type or subtype. But if the environment does not complement the individual’s type, then change will occur. Either the individual will take on interests or values from the
environment or the individual will seek out another environment that is a better fit.
The six types or themes identified by Holland are realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional. These six types describe the personality of a person as well as the environment for a vocation or career. Instruments such as the Self Directed Search and Strong Interest Inventory use Holland’s Theory for establishing career
compatibility. Holland’s research established that satisfaction and stability occur for an individual when the personality matches the environment. This is congruency. If the personality and the environment do not match, incongruity will lead to change. The individual could try to adapt to the environment, or the individual could leave the environment
in search of an environment that is a better fit. Use in Higher Education Academic and career advisors & counselors often use Holland’s Theory in career and major exploration. An inventory, such as the Strong Interest Inventory (SII), is part of the exploration process. The SII assists the individual with identification of type or theme or subtheme
based on answers to the SII.
The items reflect interests and values.

It also offers information on careers (environment) that are compatible with the individual’s personality. It is one effective tool within the exploration process.

interpretations of Holland’s theory. Research in Higher Education, 47(7), 801-822. The article examines the sociological aspects (group effect) of Holland’s Theory in relationship to student type, major type, and expectations from the college experience. Pike concludes through previous research and this study that expectations around college
experience by students were consistent when the student type and major type were highly congruent. Also, students communicated expectations that were compatible with major but counter to their personality type. Thus, expectations of college often matched the proposed major but not the student’s type. Pike suggests that practitioners should
consider the selected major (and type for the major) when trying to identify activities that will meet student’s expectations for college as tools for impacting academic performance and retention. Pike offers appropriate detail for the six Holland’s type for individuals, environments, and provides the dominant type for many majors.
The sample for this study is limited to one institution that is research based and the sample lacks diversity in race, ethnicity, gender, as well as first generation college students. Pike is clear that this findings is not generalizable without further research that incorporates diversity of student populations and institutions. References Evans, N.J., Forney,
