Rethinking the foundations of modern political thought /

Quentin Skinner's classic study The Foundations of Modern Political Thought was first published by Cambridge in 1978. This volume looks afresh at the impact of the original work, asks why it still matters, and considers a number of significant agendas that it still inspires.
