Ethicsdescribed Judith Shklar as "a towering presence" at Harvard for decades, an "influential teacher and mentor to many of the best known political theorists working today in the United States." One of this century's most important liberal scholars, she is remembered for her "sharp intellect, forceful personality, and passionate intellectual honesty and curiosity."Political Thought and Political Thinkersmakes startlingly clear her role in the reinvigoration of liberal theory that has been taking place over the last two decades.This second volume of Shklar's work—which follows the 1997 publication ofRedeeming American Political Thought—brings together heretofore uncollected (and several unpublished) essays on a number of themes, including the place of the intellect in the modern political world and the dangers of identity politics. While many of these essays have been previously published, they remain far from accessible. In collecting the work scattered over the past forty years in journals and other publications, noted political theorist Stanley Hoffmann provides an essential guide to Shklar's thought, complemented by George Kateb's comprehensive introduction to her work. Hoffmann's selection, which includes Shklar's classic essay "The Liberalism of Fear," showcases her distinctive defense of liberalism and follows her explorations in this history of moral and political thought as she engages with Bergson, Arendt, and Rousseau.Political Thought and Political Thinkersdisplays one of the century's most compelling and flexible intellects in action and is the definitive collection of her work on European history and thinkers."Shklar's legacy is an inspiring example of liberal thought at its arresting best, unflinchingly courageous and unmoved by the dreary and unmeaning harmonies conjured up by theories of justice and rights."—John Gray,Times Literary SupplementJudith N. Shklar (1928-1992) was Cowles Professor of Government at Harvard University and the author of nine books in political theory.

第一部分爱绝。在读一本讨论良心的书里看到朱迪斯的引文,被“基于恐惧的自由主义”这个概念吸引,于是找出来读。但最喜欢的却是对流亡的讨论:就理论而言,区别义务和忠诚是一个绝佳的分析;就个人情感而言,对历史的写作令人落泪,“我是在祖国的流亡者”。 第二部分和第三部分总体上不是很喜欢,卢梭\谱系\乌托邦\1984\阿伦特几章则很有启发!
