Almost a generation before Washington, Henry and Jefferson even were born, two Englishmen, concealing their identities with the honoured ancient name of Cato, wrote newspaper articles condemning tyranny and advancing principles of liberty that immensely influenced American colonists. The Englishmen were John Trenchard and Thomas Gordon. Their prototype was Cato the Younger (95-46 BC), the implacable foe of Julius Caesar and a champion of liberty and republican principles. Their 144 essays were published from 1720 to 1723, originally in the "London Journal", later in the "British Journal". Subsequently collected as "Cato's Letters", these "Essays on Liberty, Civil and Religious" became so popular that virtually 40 per cent of the American colonists' private libraries contained copies of them. The history of liberty in America is therefore not understandable, and might never have occurred, without "Cato's Letters". For in them, the nature of politics and tyranny, the proper limits of government, and freedom of conscience as indispensable to individual liberty are deliberately and eloquently explored. This two-volume edition offers minimally modernised versions of the letters from the four-volume sixth edition printed in London in 1755.
很荣幸成为国内第一位《加图来信》的研究者。作为十八世纪早期英国共和主义的重要作品,加图既不是波考克的公民参与论者,也不是伍德的有机政体论者,更不单单是扎科特的洛克主义者,他的思想融合了古典个人德性、霍布斯人性论、洛克式辉格党政治学与共和主义自由观,更像是早生了两个半世纪的佩蒂特,调和主义色彩使得他少了几分激进,多了几分审慎,可称是共和思想现代化的集大成者。
评分我们英语老师的译书,课上主要听取了有关言论自由的部分(No. 15,1720),是本好书
