In The Political Thought of Frederick Douglass, Nicholas Buccola provides an important and original argument about the ideas that animated this reformer-statesman. Beyond his role as an abolitionist, Buccola argues for the importance of understanding Douglass as a political thinker who provides deep insights into the immense challenge of achieving and maintaining the liberal promise of freedom. Douglass, Buccola contends, shows us that the language of rights must be coupled with a robust understanding of social responsibility in order for liberal ideals to be realized. Truly an original American thinker, this book highlights Douglass?s rightful place among the great thinkers in the American liberal tradition. 606 $aLiberty$xPhilosophy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLiberty$xPhilosophy. 676 $a973.8092 700 $aBuccola$b Nicholas$01037331 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461718303321 996 $aThe political thought of Frederick Douglass$92458242 997 $aUNINA
