具体描述
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.

##【按语：这本小册子堪称《霍布斯与共和主义自由》的姊妹篇，解释了在17世纪中叶英国革命时期的新罗马理论家（new-roman theorist）or共和派的自由观念及其溯源演变。 新罗马理论家主张：公民自由必须在与自由政府的关系中得到理解，后者中由所有平等公民的意志来制定法律，而自...
评分##惭愧表示这是我第一本从头读到尾的英文书，内容本身不难，但总觉得和波考克的说法有点微妙不同。
评分 评分##为什么写英文的不能都像斯金纳这样写大白话？
评分 评分##Namier-Butterfield-Pocock的史学史问题随处可见，“自由”问题则明显展露出Berlin观念的过量溢出。颇受前代影响的学术关怀，也许才是Skinner总是抛弃处于显著地位的清教-神学论争，而换之以所谓“新罗马”的真实原因。
评分##斯金纳的故事和内容与波考克分析英国革命的部分大体一致，不过相比波考克挖掘现代政治容纳“特殊性”的宏大理论野心而言，斯金纳更像一个讲故事的老者。斯金纳延续了他在《霍布斯与共和主义自由》中的分析套路，并将共和派的哲学立场追溯到马基雅维利——在分析共和派的立场时，马基雅维利的引文都会准点出场。不过，从学者的分析看，他对马基雅维利阐释并不成功，弥尔顿和哈灵顿的原始文本也很难支持他的分析。
