Hollywood westerns and American myth: the importance of Howard Hawks and John Ford for political philosophy

Pippin’s account of the best Hollywood Westerns brings this genre into the centre of the tradition of political thought, and his readings raise questions about political psychology and the political passions that have been neglected in contemporary political thought in favour of a limited concern with the question of legitimacy.
