{"product_id":"compromise-alin-fumurescu-9781107448544","title":"Compromise: A Political and Philosophical History","description":"This book offers for the first time a conceptual history of compromise. Alin Fumurescu combines contextual historical analysis of daily parlance and a survey of the usage of the word from the end of the sixteenth century to the beginning of the eighteenth century in both French and English with an analysis of canonical texts in the history of political thought. This book fills a significant gap in the literature about compromise and demonstrates the connection between different understandings of compromise and corresponding differences in understandings of political representation. In addition, Fumurescu addresses two controversial contemporary debates about when compromise is beneficial and when it should be avoided at all costs. A better understanding of the genealogy of compromise offers new venues for rethinking basic assumptions regarding political representation and the relationship between individuals and politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alin Fumurescu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107448549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107448544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/07\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.65d","brand":"Alin Fumurescu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44181119205631,"sku":"9781107448544","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_512418eb-0ff5-4e25-857e-07fd465ff3ee.jpg?v=1690258660","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/compromise-alin-fumurescu-9781107448544","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
