Quest For Freedom A Conversation With Quentin Skinner Howard Burton by Howard Burton 9781771700856, 1771700858 instant download after payment.

This book is based on an in-depth conversation between Howard Burton and intellectual historian Quentin Skinner, Barber Beaumont Professor of the Humanities at Queen Mary University of London. Quentin Skinner is considered to be one of the founders of the Cambridge School of the history of political thought. This thoughtful, detailed conversation examines how Quentin Skinner came to appreciate the importance of the distinction between the modern view of freedom and the so-called neo-Roman view, together with what it implies for our current and future political understanding.

This carefully-edited book includes an introduction, Status Symbols, and questions for discussion at the end of each chapter:

  • Paradoxical Origins - Puzzled by Machiavelli
  • Presupposing the State - The triumph of the modern liberal view
  • The Perils of Arbitrary Power - Becoming a slave
  • Freedom, Applied - Contemporary politics through the lens of arbitrary power
  • Rhetoric - Closely examining another classical Roman idea
  • Reshaping a Moral World - Recovering important ideas
  • Question and Answer - Resisting the lure of the canonical
  • About Ideas Roadshow Conversations Series (100 books):
