The Foundations of Modern Political Thought（ISBN=9780521293372） pdf pdb 阿里云 极速 mobi caj kindle 下载

A two-volume study of political thought from the late thirteenth

to the end of the sixteenth century, the decisive period of

transition from medieval to modern political theory. The work is

intended to be both an introduction to the period for students, and

a presentation and justification of a particular approach to the

interpretation of historical texts. Quentin Skinner gives an

outline account of all the principal texts of the period,

discussing in turn the chief political writings of Dante,

Marsiglio, Bartolus, Machiavelli, Erasmus and more, Luther and

Calvin, Bodin and the Calvinist revolutionaries. But he also

examines a very large number of lesser writers in order to explain

the general social and intellectual context in which these leading

theorists worked. He thus presents the history not as a procession

of 'classic texts' but are more readily intelligible. He traces by

this means the gradual emergence of the vocabulary of modern

political thought, and in particular the crucial concept of the

State. We are given an insight into the actual processes of the

formation of ideologies and into some of the linkages between

political theory and practice. Professor Skinner has been awarded

the Balzan Prize Life Time Achievement Award for Political Thought,

History and Theory. Full details of this award can be found at
