The Cambridge History of Eighteenth-Century Political Thought by Mark Goldie

The Cambridge History of Eighteenth-Century Political Thought by Mark Goldie

This major work of academic reference provides a comprehensive overview of the development of western political thought during the European Enlightenment. Written by a distinguished team of international contributors, this Cambridge History is the latest in a sequence of volumes that is now firmly established as the principal reference source for the history of political thought. Every major theme in eighteenth-century political thought is covered in a series of essays at once scholarly and accessible, and the essays are complemented by extensive guides for further reading, and brief biographical notes of the major characters in the text, including Rousseau, Montesquieu and David Hume. Of interest and relevance to students and scholars of politics and history at all levels from beginning undergraduate upwards, this volume chronicles one of the most exciting and rewarding of all periods in the development of western thinking about politics, man (and increasingly woman), and society.

'The six volume Cambridge History of Eighteenth-Century Political Thought is the triumphant embodiment of a collective effort spanning three generationsThe scholarly standard is high; the array of volumes gives an impression of careful, massive and reassuring permanence.' The Times Literary Supplement
'… a definitive resource to anyone wishing to achieve a closer familiarity with these episodes in Enlightenment thought, or who wants to reconnect present philosophical outlooks with their historical beginnings.' British Journal for the History of Philosophy
