520 |a A brilliant essay in social psychology and one of the great short masterpieces of 19th-century thought, Physics and Politics defines with grim humor the conditions of stability and social progress. ""We go to Bagehot for something that seems very difficult to convey accurately through mere definition or single examples--the true character of political man."" --Jacques Barzun. With an Introduction and Notes by Roger Kimball 
520 1 |a "One of the great short masterpieces of nineteenth-century thought, Physics and Politics is in essence a brilliant essay in social psychology. It defines with grim humor the conditions of stability and social progress. "Physics," in Bagehot's book, refers to natural science; "politics" to social science. His vastly stimulating analysis was the first important effort to comprehend the implications of the new science (especially Darwinism) for the study of political affairs. In the process, Bagehot makes unforgettably clear the complex, often tragic relation between individual and collective happiness. Roger Kimball's introduction and notes place Bagehot's ideas in perspective for today's reader and evaluate the continuing usefulness of his observations."--BOOK JACKET
