{"product_id":"ferguson-adam-ferguson-9780521442152","title":"Ferguson: An Essay on the History of Civil Society","description":"Adam Ferguson's Essay on the History of Civil Society (first published in 1767) is a classic of the Scottish--and European--Enlightenment. Drawing on such diverse sources as classical authors and contemporary travel literature, Ferguson combines a subtle analysis of modern commercial society with a critique of its abandonment of civic and communal virtues. Central themes in Ferguson's theory of citizenship are conflict, play, political participation and military valor. The Essay is a bold and novel attempt to reclaim the tradition of active citizenship in the modern state.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Ferguson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 052144215X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521442152\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 02\/23\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.66w x 0.98d","brand":"Adam Ferguson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46685601038591,"sku":"9780521442152","price":90.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e32734c0-177e-4861-86e3-7a7cdedea222.jpg?v=1741726210","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ferguson-adam-ferguson-9780521442152","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
