Description
Book SynopsisJanet Colemana s two volume history of European political theorising, from the ancient Greeks to the Renaissance is the introduction which many have been waiting for.
Trade Review"These volumes cover the scholarship of the last four decades with considerable care and in an impeccably cosmopolitan manner...in its second volume, the best single-volume history of medieval political thought to put into the hands of any intelligent and serious student...Coleman's
History is a fine achievement and of clear use value throughout. It breathes the spirit of a very different epoch, while providing help for all of us who must deal, in our respective roles, with the ideas that it chronicles."
