CAMBRIDGE TEXTS IN THE

HISTORY OF POLITICAL THOUGHT

Series editorsRaymond Geuss

Quentin Skinner

Professor of the Humanities, Queen Mary, University of London

Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought is now firmly estab-

lished as the major student textbook series in political theory. It aims

to make available to students all the most important texts in the history

of western political thought, from ancient Greece to the early twentieth

century. All the familiar classic texts will be included, but the series seeks

at the same time to enlarge the conventional canon by incorporating an

extensive range of less well-known works, many of them never before

available in a modern English edition. Wherever possible, texts are pub-

lished in complete and unabridged form, and translations are specially

commissioned for the series. Each volume contains a critical introduction

together with chronologies, biographical sketches, a guide to further read-

ing and any necessary glossaries and textual apparatus. When completed,

the series will aim to offer an outline of the entire evolution of western

political thought.

For a list of titles published in the series, please see end of book.
