From Humanism to Hobbes

From Humanism to Hobbes

Quentin Skinner

Cambridge University Press
2018
sidottu
The aim of this collection is to illustrate the pervasive influence of humanist rhetoric on early-modern literature and philosophy. The first half of the book focuses on the classical rules of judicial rhetoric. One chapter considers the place of these rules in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, while two others concentrate on the technique of rhetorical redescription, pointing to its use in Machiavelli's The Prince as well as in several of Shakespeare's plays, notably Coriolanus. The second half of the book examines the humanist background to the philosophy of Thomas Hobbes. A major new essay discusses his typically humanist preoccupation with the visual presentation of his political ideas, while other chapters explore the rhetorical sources of his theory of persons and personation, thereby offering new insights into his views about citizenship, political representation, rights and obligations and the concept of the state.

Liberty before Liberalism

Liberty before Liberalism

Quentin Skinner

Cambridge University Press
2012
pokkari
This extended essay by one of the world's leading historians seeks, in its first part, to excavate and to vindicate, the neo-Roman theory of free citizens and free states as it developed in early modern Britain. This analysis leads on to a powerful defence of the nature, purposes and goals of intellectual history and the history of ideas. As Quentin Skinner says, 'the intellectual historian can help us to appreciate how far the values embodied in our present way of life, and our present ways of thinking about those values, reflect a series of choices made at different times between different possible worlds'. This essay provides one of the most substantial statements yet made about the importance, relevance and potential excitement of this form of historical enquiry. Liberty before Liberalism is based on Quentin Skinner's Inaugural Lecture as Regius Professor of Modern History in the University of Cambridge, delivered in 1997.

Machiavelli zur Einführung

Machiavelli zur Einführung

Quentin Skinner

JUNIUS VERLAG GMBH
2013
nidottu
Niccol? Machiavelli (1469-1527) lehrte, dass Politiker bereit sein müssen, unmoralisch zu handeln. Sein Name ist Inbegriff von Skrupellosigkeit, List und Heuchelei. Was steckt hinter diesem schlechten Ruf? Welche Ansichten hat Machiavelli wirklich vertreten? Diese Fragen beantwortet Quentin Skinner, indem er die Hauptwerke "Der Fürst", "Discorsi" und "Geschichte von Florenz" im Kontext der Frühen Neuzeit liest. Machiavelli war ein Exponent der humanistischen Tradion des klassischen Republikanismus. Die originellsten Aspekte seiner politischen Anschauungen lassen sich indes als eine Reihe polemischer und satirischer Reaktionen auf jene Tradition verstehen.

Politik og historie

Politik og historie

Quentin Skinner

Gyldendal
2009
nidottu
Politik og historie er den første bog på dansk af den britiske politolog og idéhistoriker Quentin Skinner, hvis arbejde i disse år vinder stadig større udbredelse inden for samfundsvidenskab og humaniora. Skinner har markeret sig med en række banebrydende arbejder, hvor han har påvist, at politisk tænkning ofte ikke handler så meget om at undersøge almengyldige fænomener, men nærmere om at positionere sig i en historisk kontekst. I forlængelse af det har han udviklet en enestående metode til at analysere den måde, politiske udsagn og andre samfundsrelaterede ideer bliver til i relation til de givne omstændigheder. Bogen indeholder to sider af Skinners arbejde. For det første samler den en række af hans vigtigste metodetekster, bl.a. ”Mening og forståelse i idéhistorien”, som må betegnes som en af efterkrigstidens absolut vigtigste tekster om historisk metode og kvalitativ analyse. For det andet rummer bogen en række af Skinners analyser af frihedsbegrebet, bl.a. forholdet mellem statsmagten og den individuelle frihed. Skinner viser sig her som en af vor tids vigtigste politiske teoretikere. Politik og historie giver både et indblik i Skinners forfatterskab og mere generelt en indføring i samfundsvidenskabelig metode. Bogen henvender sig til studerende på de samfundsvidenskabelige og humanistiske universitetsuddannelser og på mellemlange uddannelser. Oversat fra engelsk af Morten Visby. Quentin Skinner er mangeårig professor i statskundskab ved Cambridge University, England. Han har været hovedfigur i den såkaldte Cambridge-skole, der især har sat fokus på sprogets betydning i politisk tænkning. Fra 2008-2009 er han ansat som professor i humaniora ved Queen Mary, University of London. Frank Beck Lassen og Mikkel Thorup er henholdsvis ph.d-studerende og adjunkt ved Afdeling for Idehistorie, Aarhus Universitet.
