A History of Political Thought : From the Middle Ages to the Renaissance Hardback

Hardback

Description

This volume continues the story of European political theorising by focusing on medieval and Renaissance thinkers.

It includes extensive discussion of the practices that underpinned medieval political theories and which continued to play crucial roles in the eventual development of early-modern political institutions and debates.

The author strikes a balance between trying to understand the philosophical cogency of medieval and Renaissance arguments on the one hand, elucidating why historically-suited medieval and Renaissance thinkers thought the ways they did about politics; and why we often think otherwise.
