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.

鄭友仁: 《自由主義之前的自由》中譯本指謬 2003年底在學術界頗有口碑的上海三聯書店推齣瞭英國著名思想史傢昆廷·斯金納(Quentin Skinner)教授的重要著作《自由主義之前的自由》(Liberty Before Liberalism,Cambridge University Press,1998)的中譯本(譯者為華東師範...
評分 評分改編自斯金納的講席教授就職演講,是其對十七世紀英國憲政自由(共和)派思想傢(比如哈靈頓,彌爾頓,Sidney,還有很多更不知名的人…材料豐富就是斯金納的特點)的迴顧研究。斯金納給他們的觀點冠以新羅馬自由理論neo-roman theory of liberty的標簽。他們的憲政代議製理論有...
評分不包括意思正確但文法不通的地方, 也不包括已經在這篇文章裏指齣過的錯誤: http://www.douban.com/subject/discussion/1018247/ 第5頁: 誤: “霍布斯認為, 正是法律的力量纔讓你的自然自由不受傷害” 正: “霍布斯認為, 即使是法律的強製力量也沒有傷害你的自然自由” 誤:...

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.
評分應該早點讀。
評分Skinner真是好讀得有點過分瞭,一個學者能把學術講得這麼清楚明白本身就是一大功力。雖然Skinner批判我喜愛的Berlin老頭子,但確實批判的在理啊。最後一章講曆史學的意義,to prevent bewitchment, to liberate us from the grip of any hegemonal account of values, 醍醐灌頂。
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。
評分大四下讀的。
