George Holland Sabine

George Holland Sabine (9 December 1880 – 18 January 1961), popularly known as Sabine, was a professor of philosophy, dean of the Graduate School and vice president of Cornell University. He is best known for his authoritative work *A History of Political Theory*, which traces the growth of political thought from the times of Plato to modern fascism and nazism. In his review of *A History of Political Theory*, Leland Jenks noted, "Sabine is the only textbook writer who is abreast of recent Rousseau scholarship, as represented by Hoffding, Lanson, Cassirer, and Hendel." **Source**: [George Holland Sabine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Holland_Sabine) on Wikipedia
