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.

##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##為什麼寫英文的不能都像斯金納這樣寫大白話？
評分##Skinner從不讓人失望
評分##為什麼寫英文的不能都像斯金納這樣寫大白話？
評分##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##斯金納的故事和內容與波考剋分析英國革命的部分大體一緻，不過相比波考剋挖掘現代政治容納“特殊性”的宏大理論野心而言，斯金納更像一個講故事的老者。斯金納延續瞭他在《霍布斯與共和主義自由》中的分析套路，並將共和派的哲學立場追溯到馬基雅維利——在分析共和派的立場時，馬基雅維利的引文都會準點齣場。不過，從學者的分析看，他對馬基雅維利闡釋並不成功，彌爾頓和哈靈頓的原始文本也很難支持他的分析。
評分##為什麼寫英文的不能都像斯金納這樣寫大白話？
