Recenzii
'This is a truly revelatory new interpretation of the thinkers who laid the foundations of Anglo-American republicanism. Deeply learned and vivaciously written, the work brims with provocative and penetrating insights, highlighting a capaciously synoptic historical vision. A masterwork of a master historian of thought.' Thomas Pangle, University of Texas, Austin
'A fascinating intellectual history filled with intrigue relating to religious apostasy and political innovation informed by Paul Rahe's vast erudition. An impressive and important achievement.' Vickie Sullivan, Tufts University
'This is a superb study of political theory in the English Commonwealth period. It illuminates connections between and among thinkers and ideas hitherto largely unexplored. Moreover, the analysis of Machiavelli, Milton, Nedham and a number of less familiar figures sheds new light on longstanding questions by presenting an account of a body of English Civil War era political thought that is more skeptical, more rigorous, more philosophically worldly, and frankly more interesting than we have come to expect. This book will change the way we look at the intellectual roots of modern republicanism in the Anglo-American tradition.' Lee Ward, Campion College at the University of Regina
'This erudite work presents a novel interpretation of Machiavelli's republicanism, and then seeks to trace its influence on the thought of several seventeenth-century English writers. … Rahe's book surveys an enormous swath of intellectual history and political thought … and relates much of it in novel, complex and challenging ways. … a seminal contribution' The Journal of the Review of Politics
