Summary

For forty years, Harvey Mansfield has been worth reading. Whether plumbing the depths of Machiavelli'¬"s Discourses or explaining what was at stake in Bill Clinton'¬"s impeachment, Mansfield '¬Üs work in political philosophy and political science has set the standard. In Educating the Prince, twenty-one of his students, themselves distinguished scholars, try to live up to that standard. Their essays offer penetrating analyses of Machiavellianism, liberalism, and America., all of them informed by Mansfield'¬"s own work. The volume also includes a bibliography of Mansfield'¬"s writings.
