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.

##What remains under-explored is the positive account of nature underlying the neo-Roman conception of freedom, along with the republican strand of classical liberalism (e.g. Mill, Tocqueville) which treats civic virtue as the sinew of a health body politic.
評分##為什麼寫英文的不能都像斯金納這樣寫大白話？
評分##大四下讀的。
評分##Skinner從不讓人失望
評分##Namier-Butterfield-Pocock的史學史問題隨處可見，“自由”問題則明顯展露齣Berlin觀念的過量溢齣。頗受前代影響的學術關懷，也許纔是Skinner總是拋棄處於顯著地位的清教-神學論爭，而換之以所謂“新羅馬”的真實原因。

評分應該早點讀。
