具體描述
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 thus 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 November 1997. Professor Skinner has been awarded the Balzan Prize Life Time Achievement Award for Political Thought, History and Theory.

用戶評價
##慚愧錶示這是我第一本從頭讀到尾的英文書，內容本身不難，但總覺得和波考剋的說法有點微妙不同。
評分##和Berlin一起讀就是劍橋vs牛津
評分##最近寫的論文是從批評斯金納的一個研究開始的，不過跟polit哲學史沒關係，對這個話題感興趣，就找來看瞭。讀斯金納的確不會失望，想給十顆星。研究彌爾頓的文學批評傢也都應該讀讀。這本書也是英文學術寫作的典範。

評分##大四下讀的。
評分##和Berlin一起讀就是劍橋vs牛津
評分##為什麼寫英文的不能都像斯金納這樣寫大白話？
評分應該早點讀。
