具体描述
This extended essay by one of the world's leading historians seeks, in its first part, to excavate, and to vindicate, the neo-Roman theory of free citizens and free states as it developed in early-modern Britain. This analysis leads on to a powerful defence of the nature, purposes and goals of intellectual history and the history of ideas. As Quentin Skinner says, 'the intellectual historian can help us to appreciate how far the values embodied in our present way of life, and our present ways of thinking about those values, reflect a series of choices made at different times between different possible worlds'. This essay thus provides one of the most substantial statements yet made about the importance, relevance and potential excitement of this form of historical enquiry. Liberty before Liberalism is based on Quentin Skinner's Inaugural Lecture as Regius Professor of Modern History in the University of Cambridge, delivered in November 1997. Professor Skinner has been awarded the Balzan Prize Life Time Achievement Award for Political Thought, History and Theory.

##What remains under-explored is the positive account of nature underlying the neo-Roman conception of freedom, along with the republican strand of classical liberalism (e.g. Mill, Tocqueville) which treats civic virtue as the sinew of a health body politic.

评分应该早点读。
评分##惭愧表示这是我第一本从头读到尾的英文书，内容本身不难，但总觉得和波考克的说法有点微妙不同。
评分##Skinner真是好读得有点过分了，一个学者能把学术讲得这么清楚明白本身就是一大功力。虽然Skinner批判我喜爱的Berlin老头子，但确实批判的在理啊。最后一章讲历史学的意义，to prevent bewitchment, to liberate us from the grip of any hegemonal account of values, 醍醐灌顶。

评分##Namier-Butterfield-Pocock的史学史问题随处可见，“自由”问题则明显展露出Berlin观念的过量溢出。颇受前代影响的学术关怀，也许才是Skinner总是抛弃处于显著地位的清教-神学论争，而换之以所谓“新罗马”的真实原因。
