作者簡介
Joseph Priestley，（1733-1804）was one of the great intellectual figures of the English Enlightenment and also one of its outstanding political theorists. His discussion of ' civil liberty's crucial to understanding the debates that swirled around the War of American Independence and the Dissenters' bid for wider religious toleration. His response to these events was informed by his central commitment to a natural right to 'freedom of thought'. Despite the fundamental importance of this concept in modern political thought priestley's role in its articulation has been ill-served by the absence of a modern edition of those works in which the argument was forged. This new collection will be the first to make accessible to students Priestley's Essay on the First Principles of Government and The Present State of Liberty in Great Britain and America, which reflect his most concentrated engagement with these issues at a crucial moment in his own life and that of the state. An introduction and notes, together with guides to further reading and key figures in the text, provide the student with all the material necessary for approaching Priestley.
內容簡介
《普萊斯特里政治著作選》主要內容：在政治理論領域，“劍橋政治思想史原著系列”作為主要的學生教科叢書，如今已牢固確立了其地位。本叢書旨在使學生能夠獲得從古臘到20世紀初期西方政治思想史方面所有最為重要的原著；它囊括了所有著名的經典原著，但與此同時，它又擴展了傳統的評價尺度，以便能夠納入範圍廣泛。不那么出名的作品；而在此之前，這些作品中有許多從未有過現代英文版本可資利用。只要可能，所選原著都會以完整而不刪節的形式出版，其中的譯作則是專門為本叢書的目的而安排。每一本書都有一個評論性的導言，加上歷史年表、生平梗概、進一步閱讀指南。以及必要的辭彙表和原文註解。本叢書的最終目的是，為西方政治思想的整個發展脈絡提供一個清晰的輪廓。
