{"product_id":"hobbes-and-republican-liberty-quentin-skinner-9780521714167","title":"Hobbes and Republican Liberty","description":"Quentin Skinner is one of the foremost historians in the world, and in Hobbes and Republican Liberty he offers a dazzling comparison of two rival theories about the nature of human liberty. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Quentin Skinner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521714168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521714167\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\/21\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLondon Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/25\/2008 pg. 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/16\/2009 pg. 40","brand":"Quentin Skinner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996771746047,"sku":"9780521714167","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_84307010-afca-4e2c-9cb7-b2c25889f443.jpg?v=1683343596","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hobbes-and-republican-liberty-quentin-skinner-9780521714167","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
