While affirming the profound importance of political analysis, Hogan is critical of prevalent doctrines. Specifically, Hogan examines and criticizes several influential post-structuralist positions, advocating logical analysis and empirical enquiry, guided by Kantian ethics, in their stead.
'Hogan makes an excellent case that the world is a very real place which we can touch and shape with both our hands and our pens. At all times ... he possesses sincerity and persuasion.'
