LIBERTY AND PROPERTY: A SOCIAL HISTORY OF WESTERN POLITICAL THOUGHT FROM THE RENAISSANCE TO ENLIGHTENMENT

Book ID/图书代码： 13850012B54341

English Summary/英文概要： From Machiavelli to Rousseau, reading theorists as responding to the conflicts of their time.

The formation of the modern state, the rise of capitalism, the Renaissance and Reformation, the scientific revolution and the Age of Enlightenment have all been attributed to the “early modern” period. Nearly everything about its history remains controversial, but one thing is certain: it left a rich and provocative legacy of political ideas unmatched in Western history. The concepts of liberty, equality, property, human rights and revolution born in those turbulent centuries continue to shape, and to limit, political discourse today. Assessing the work and background of figures such as Machiavelli, Luther, Calvin, Spinoza, the Levellers, Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau, Ellen Wood vividly explores the ideas of the canonical thinkers, not as philosophical abstractions but as passionately engaged responses to the social conflicts of their day.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 文藝復興和啟蒙運動催生了西方政治思想的嬗變。西歐國家在這一時期踏上了不同的發展道路，義大利城市國家、德意志管轄區、尼德蘭商業共和國……形形色色的政治共同體影響了這一時期政治思想的發展，形成了各具特色的政治話語傳統。在《西方政治思想的社會史》的下卷中，伍德從具體歷史情境中挖掘線索。政治理論主要由國家權力與私有財產權間的顯著張力所形塑，這對緊張關係回應了現代早期西方社會所拋出的特定問題。在她看來，政治思想史並不僅僅是話語的歷史，它貫穿了西方國家邁向現代的整個過程。

在《西方政治思想的社會史：自由與財產》中，路德、加爾文、斯賓諾莎、霍布斯、洛克和盧梭的思想不僅僅是抽象的哲學命題，更是對所處時代和環境的回應，在西方歷史中留下了無與倫比的豐厚政治遺產。作者以比劍橋學派更加寬泛的語境主義研究路徑，梳理了文藝復興到啟蒙運動間西方政治思想的發展脈絡。 (Zoe)
