The key themes of Williams 'political philosophy were the problem of self-determination of political philosophy, the relationship between the arguments of political moralism and political realism, the role of historical knowledge in political theory, in accordance with which the existing research areas of Williams' political ideas should be considered in the context of modern political philosophy.
