A History of Political Thought: From Ancient Greece to Early Christianity
(Janet Coleman's two volume history of European political ...)
Janet Coleman's two volume history of European political theorising, from the ancient Greeks to the Renaissance is the introduction which many have been waiting for. In this volume, Coleman discusses the acknowledged great works of Greek, Roman, and early Christian writers to show how the historical contexts in which certain ideas about ethics and politics became dominant or fell from dominance, help to explain the ideas themselves. Throughout she draws on recent scholarly commentaries written by specialists in philosophy, contemporary political theory, classical languages and cultures, and on ancient and early Christian history and theology. Janet Coleman shows that the Greeks and Romans' arguments can be seen as logical and coherent if we can grasp the questions they thought it important to answer.

Ancient and Medieval Memories: Studies in the Reconstruction of the Past
(This book contains a series of studies that take the anci...)
This book contains a series of studies that take the ancient texts as evidence of the past, and show how medieval readers and writers understood them. In particular, they examine how medieval readers examined the construction of these texts to find some reflection of how it felt to exist within the ancient world. The studies confirm that medieval and Renaissance interpretations and uses of the past differ greatly from a modern interpretation and uses, and yet the study betrays many startling continuities between modern and ancient medieval theories. Discussion extends from the nature of historical evidence, through theories behind medieval historiography, to various hypotheses relating physiological attributes of the brain to intellectual processes of the mind.

This examination of sedition through the ages includes work on Socrates, the early Christian martyrs, the Utopian movement and political assasination. Constitutional change in England is compared to violent revolution in France, the theories of Marx and Freud, and the tactics of terrorists. The authors ask what it is that drives people to sedition and what the influence of rebellious movements has been. They also consider the reasons why some revolutionaries of the past are honoured while those who are involved in similar activities today are far more generally reviled. The book accompanies an eight-part radio series.

{ THE INDIVIDUAL IN POLITICAL THEORY AND PRACTICE (ORIGINS OF THE MODERN STATE IN EUROPE #THEME F) } by Coleman, Janet (AUTHOR) Jun-13-1996 Hardcover
(In this major study, a team of leading European scholars ...)
In this major study, a team of leading European scholars explores ways in which the concept of the individual developed in various areas of political and social life. The story concerns the changing nature of individual identity, community interest and corporate groups, as they were gradually redefined by common western European experiences of universal Catholicism, feudalism, civic republicanism and absolutism, Reformation and Counter-Reformation, commerce and capitalism. As European societies evolved into increasingly centralised national states, there emerged a range of religious and secular discourses which expressed the autonomy of individual agents not only as political subjects but also as private selves.

This volume continues the story of European political theorising by focusing on medieval and Renaissance thinkers. It includes extensive discussion of the practices that underpinned medieval political theories and which continued to play crucial roles in the eventual development of early-modern political institutions and debates. The author strikes a balance between trying to understand the philosophical cogency of medieval and Renaissance arguments on the one hand, elucidating why historically-suited medieval and Renaissance thinkers thought the ways they did about politics; and why we often think otherwise.
