Freedom, today perceived simply as a human right, was a continually
contested idea in the early modern period. In Freedom and the
Construction of Europe an international group of scholars explore
the richness, diversity and complexity of thinking about freedom in
the shaping of modernity. Volume 1 examines debates about religious
and constitutional liberties, as well as exploring the tensions
between free will and divine omnipotence across a continent of
proliferating religious denominations. Volume 2 considers free
persons and free states, examining differing views about freedom of
thought and action and their relations to conceptions of
citizenship. Debates about freedom have been fundamental to the
construction of modern Europe, but represent a part of our
intellectual heritage that is rarely examined in depth. These
volumes provide materials for thinking in fresh ways not merely
about the concept of freedom, but how it has come to be understood
in our own time.
