Framed as a general account of the period between 1572 and 1651 it charts the formation of a distinctively modern political vocabulary, based upon arguments of political necessity and raison d'etat in the work of the major theorists. Whilst Dr Tuck pays detailed attention to Montaigne, Grotius, Hobbes and the theorists of the English Revolution, he also reconsiders the origins of their conceptual vocabulary in humanist thought - particularly scepticism and stoicism - and its development and appropriation during the revolutions in Holland and France. This book will be welcomed by all historians of political thought and those interested in the development of the idea of the state.Ideas in context ;26.Philosophy & Government 1572-1651Political scienceHistory16th centuryPolitical scienceHistory17th centuryPolitical scienceHistoryPolitical scienceHistory320Tuck Richard1949-148828UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK996248287103316Philosophy and government 1572-1651513381UNISAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
