You can just grab an audiobook :p
In any case, I don't believe absolute concepts (most concepts preceded by determiners, such as "the") can be subjective. They're, almost always, just empty linguistic accidents. |

i cant remember! haha. just did a search on on amazon . its something like "political thought" or "political ideologies". it deals with rawls and the social contract, freedoms, and covers most of the main "isms" around the world today. had to read it for fourth year, and despite the complexity of the concepts, it was one of the easiest reads ive ever had.
all i do remember is that it has a red and black cover. |
