Castiglione Dario, Hampsher-Monk Iain (eds.) The History of Political Thought in National Context

Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2011. — 332 p. — ((Ideas in Context, No 61) — ISBN-10: 0521174937; ISBN-13: 978-0521174930.This volume represents a major contribution to the history of ideas, in which political thought has always been central, and reflects the disciplinary tensions--and national differences--of what remains a "borderline" subject, located at the intersection of history, politics and philosophy. The distinguished team of international contributors explores the relationship between the history of political thought as a discipline, and the politics, history and culture of the various nations discussed, which include the UK, the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Central and Eastern Europe.List of contributorsIntroduction.
