書籍簡介

這兩卷關於13世紀末到16世紀末政治思想研究的書，彼時正是中世紀政治理論向現代政治理論過渡的決定性時期。該作品的目的是為學生介紹這一時期，並提出一種解釋歷史文本的特殊方法和理由。昆汀·斯金納概述了這一時期的所有主要文本，依次討論了但丁、馬西利奧、巴托勒斯、馬基雅維利、伊拉斯謨等人的主要政治著作，路德和加爾文，博丹和加爾文革命者。但他也研究了大量的不那麼優秀的作家，以解釋這些主要理論家工作的社會和知識背景。因此，他將歷史呈現為更容易理解的，而不是一連串的“經典文本”。通過這種方式，他追溯了現代政治思想詞彙的逐漸出現，特別是國家這個關鍵概念。

A two-volume study of political thought from the late thirteenth to the end of the sixteenth century, the decisive period of transition from medieval to modern political theory. The work is intended to be both an introduction to the period for students, and a presentation and justification of a particular approach to the interpretation of historical texts. Quentin Skinner gives an outline account of all the principal texts of the period, discussing in turn the chief political writings of Dante, Marsiglio, Bartolus, Machiavelli, Erasmus and more, Luther and Calvin, Bodin and the Calvinist revolutionaries. But he also examines a very large number of lesser writers in order to explain the general social and intellectual context in which these leading theorists worked. He thus presents the history not as a procession of 'classic texts' but are more readily intelligible. He traces by this means the gradual emergence of the vocabulary of modern political thought, and in particular the crucial concept of the State.
