Opis: Readings in Political Philosophy (Classic Reprint) - Coker Francis William

Excerpt from Readings in Political Philosophy

For the purpose of this volume entirely original translations were required only for the selections from St. Thomas Aquinas, Marsiglio of Padua, and the Vindicia contra Tyrannos. The translations from Bodin and Grotius are in part original. The passages from Bodin's De Republica were translated with constant assistance from the Knolles translation of Bodin sFrench version of the work. For the De Jure Belli ac Pads of Grotius the Latin text was carefully worked over in order to revise the translation by Whewell. For all other selections the translations or editions cited were followed faithfully, with minor changes in a few instances.

The writer desires to make grateful acknowledgment for assistance that has been received in the preparation of this volume. Professor William A. Dunning, of Columbia University, has generously supplied expert advice and criticism in all parts of the work, especially in the translations. Professor Edward G.Elliott, of Princeton University, contributed valuable counsel as to the general plan and scope of the work.

The writer is indebted to Messrs. G. P. Putnam's Sons for the privilege of using the passages from Conway's edition of The Writings of Thomas Paine, and to the Delegates of the Clarendon Press for the selections from Montagues edition of Beritham's Fragment on Government and from Church's edition of Book I of Hookers Ecclesiastical Polity.
