Beskrivning

In this exciting book, Athanasios Moulakis makes available, for the first time in English, the important essay How to Bring Order to Popular Government, by Renaissance thinker Francesco Guicciardini. In addition to his valuable and lucid translation of the essay, Moulakis provides an engaging analysis of this important work. He shows that, far from representing a revival of ancient republicanism, the long maturation of Florentine constitutional thought—brought to lucid expression by Guicciardini—points to a distinctly modern idea of the republican state. Republican Realism in Renaissance Florence is a unique and important book which will be of great value to historians and political theorists alike.

Recensioner i media

This is a work that should secure for itself a wide readership not only among scholars of the Italian Renaissance, but also among students of political theory and among historians of ancient and of modern republican government. I found the translation eminently readable. . . I found the overall argument fascinating. . .
