Though abortive, this experiment left a legacy in the political science articulated both by its champions, John Milton, Marchamont Nedham, and James Harrington, and by its sometime opponent and ultimate supporter, Thomas Hobbes. This volume examines these four thinkers, situates them with regard to the novel species of republicanism first championed in the early 1500s by Niccolo? Machiavelli, and examines the debt that he and they owed the Epicurean tradition in philosophy and the political science crafted by the Arab philosophers Alfarabi, Avicenna, and Averroe?s. 517 3 $aAgainst Throne & Altar 606 $aRepublicanism$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1649-1660 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yCommonwealth and Protectorate, 1649-1660 615 0$aRepublicanism$xHistory 676 $a320.092/241 700 $aRahe$b Paul Anthony$0205022 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821419303321 996 $aAgainst throne and altar$93998329 997 $aUNINA
