Whether plumbing the depths of Machiavelli's Discourses or explaining what was at stake in Bill Clinton's impeachment, Mansfield 's work in political philosophy and political science has set the standard.

Their essays offer penetrating analyses of Machiavellianism, liberalism, and America., all of them informed by Mansfield's own work. The volume also includes a bibliography of Mansfield's writings.

Mark Blitz tackles contemporary questions while exploring the critical role responsibility plays in a wide range of fields including politics, philanthropy, biotechnology, education, and law. The result is a lasting contribution to our understanding of one of AmericaOs classic virtues.
