The first originated in classical antiquity, and lay at the heart of the Roman republican tradition of public life. Thomas Hobbes was the most formidable enemy of this pattern of thought, and his successive attempts to discredit it constitute a truly epochal moment in the history of Anglophone political thought. Hobbes and Republican Liberty develops several of the themes announced by Quentin Skinner in his celebrated inaugural lecture on Liberty before Liberalism of 1997. Cogent, engaged, accessible, and indeed exhilarating, this new book will appeal to readers of history, politics, and philosophy at all levels from upper-undergraduate upwards, and provides an excellent introduction to the work of one of the most celebrated thinkers of our time.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 224mmItem Length: 144mmItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 490gAuthor: Quentin SkinnerGenre: Law & PoliticsTopic: Society & CultureRelease Year: 2008 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
