A Government of Laws : Political Theory, Religion and the American Founding, Paperback / softback Book

A Government of Laws : Political Theory, Religion and the American Founding Paperback / softback

Part of the Eric Voegelin Institute Series in Political Philosophy series

Paperback / softback

Description

In A Government of Laws, which includes a new preface, Ellis Sandoz re-evaluates the traditional understanding of the philosophic and intellectual background of the American founding.

Through an exhaustive assessment of Renaissance, medieval, and ancient political philosophy, he shows that the founding fathers were consciously and explicitly seeking to create a political order that would meet the demands of human nature and society.

This rigorous and searching analysis of the sources of political and constitutional theory generates an original and provocative approach to American thought and experience.
