Beyond the Persecuting Society: Religious Toleration Before the Enlightenment
ISBN: 9780812215670 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Beyond the Persecuting Society constructs a history of toleration from the Middle Ages through the seventeenth century. There is a myth--easily shattered--that Western societies since the Enlightenment have been dedicated to the ideal of protecting the differences between individuals and groups, and another--too readily accepted--that before the rise of secularism in the modern period, intolerance and persecution held sway throughout Europe. In Beyond the Persecuting Society John Christian Laursen, Cary J. Nederman, and nine other scholars dismantle this second generalization....

Paradoxes of Religious Toleration in Early Modern Political Thought
ISBN: 9780739172179 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In today's developed world, much of what people believe about religious toleration has evolved from crucial innovations in toleration theory developed in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Thinkers from that period have been rightly celebrated for creating influential, liberating concepts and ideas that have enabled many of us to live in peace. However, their work was certainly not perfect. In this enlightening volume, John Christian Laursen and Maria Jose Villaverde have gathered contributors to focus on the paradoxes, blindspots, unexpected flaws, or ambiguities in early modern...

Millenarianism and Messianism in Early Modern European Culture Volume IV: Continental Millenarians: Protestants, Catholics, Heretics
ISBN: 9780792368472 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Any number of misconceptions about millenarians and messianism in the early modern period will be laid to rest by a reading of this volume. It is too often thought that millenarianism was largely an English phenomenon. One of the reasons for bringing these studies together is to show, as Martin Mulsow puts it, that we can understand this European-wide movement as a "millenarian international" in analogy with the later "socialist international." Another misconception is that millenarianism and messianism were a world apart from mainstream developments in intellectual history; but, as Mulsow...

Millenarianism and Messianism in Early Modern European Culture Volume IV: Continental Millenarians: Protestants, Catholics, Heretics
ISBN: 9780792369349 / Angielski / Book / 2001 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This is the first book to bring together studies of a wide variety of millenarians who were active in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in France, The Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, and eastern Europe.
The sheer variety of millenarian ideas and movements and their myriad of ebbs and flows and interactions teach us that millenarianism was a much more complex and influential factor than most studies have recognized. It was part and parcel of the growth of science, the progress of philosophy, and the genesis of political reform. This volume provides much food for thought for students...

New Essays on the Political Thought of the Huguenots of the Refuge:
ISBN: 9789004099869 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 led to a large diaspora of French Huguenots, known as the Refuge. Spreading throughout Europe, many of these Huguenots used their literary and polemical talents in the development of political ideas that would help them in their efforts to return to France, or in their adjustment to living outside of France. Arguably, their predicament turned some of them into cosmopolitans and instigated their contributions to the theory and practice of freedom of the press and economic freedom. As in the case of other diaspora cultures, expulsion from...

This book brings out the profound influence of the tradition of philosophical skepticism on political thought.

Skepticism and Political Thought in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
ISBN: 9781442649217 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this collection, thirteen distinguished contributors examine the influence of the ancient skeptical philosophy of Pyrrho of Elis and Sextus Empiricus on early modern political thought. Classical skepticism argues that in the absence of certainty one must either suspend judgment and live by habit or act on the basis of probability rather than certainty. In either case, one must reject dogmatic confidence in politics and philosophy. Surveying the use of skepticism in works by Hobbes, Descartes, Hume, Smith, and Kant, among others, the essays in Skepticism and Political Thought...

Early French and German Defenses of Freedom of the Press: Elie Luzac's Essay on Freedom of Expression (1749) and Carl Friedrich Bahrdt's on Freedom of
ISBN: 9789004130173 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 183 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume contains English translations of two important early French and German defences of freedom of the press. Almost unknown in the English-speaking world, these texts demonstrate that freedom of the press was an important issue in other parts of Europe in the early modern period, giving rise to articulate theories. Elie Luzac's Essay on Freedom of Expression (1749) defended freedom of the press for atheists on natural law and other grounds. Carl Friedrich Bahrdt's On Freedom of the Press and its Limits (1787) drew on natural law, religious rhetoric, and political...
