Summary

The past quarter of a century has seen dramatic developments in social and political thought. This volume of essays offers an indispensable introduction to some of the most influential amongst them. Quentin Skinner's introduction traces broad transformations such as the erosion of empiricist assumptions and the undermining of the positivist ideal of the unification of the sciences by the impact of foreign traditions on English-speaking social science.
