John Pocock is arguably the most original and imaginative historian
of ideas of modern times. Over the past half century he has created
an audience for his work which is truly global, and he has marked
the way in which the history of political thought is studied as
deeply and personally as any historian of the period. The essays in
this major new collection are selected from a lifetime of thinking
about political thought, and how we should study it in history.
What in fact does it mean to write the history of a political
society, and what kind of political thought is this? Professor
Pocock emphasises both the theory and practice of political thought
considered as action in history, and the political theory of
historiography considered as a form of political thought. Together
these essays constitute a collection that any serious student of
politics and intellectual history needs to possess.
