[lbo-talk] Major Conservative and Libertarian Thinkers in 20 volumes

[Wojtek S]

Product Description
This is a unique 20 volume set covering the history of conservative and
libertarian political thought. "The Major Conservative and Libertarian
Thinkers" series aims to show that there is a rigorous, scholarly tradition
of social and political thought that may be broadly described as
'conservative', 'libertarian' or some combination of the two. The series
aims to show that conservatism is not simply a reaction against contemporary
events, nor a privileging of intuitive thought over deductive reasoning;
libertarianism is not simply an apology for unfettered capitalism or an
attempt to justify a misguided atomistic concept of the individual. Rather,
the thinkers in this series have developed coherent intellectual positions
that are grounded in empirical reality and also founded upon serious
philosophical reflection on the relationship between the individual and
society, how the social institutions necessary for a free society are to be
established and maintained, and the implications of the limits to human
knowledge and certainty. Each volume in the series presents a thinker's
ideas in an accessible and cogent manner to provide an indispensable work
for students with varying degrees of familiarity with the topic as well as
more advanced scholars. "Major Conservative and Libertarian Thinkers"
provides comprehensive accounts of the works of seminal conservative
thinkers from a variety of periods, disciplines, and traditions - the first
series of its kind. Even the selection of thinkers adds another aspect to
conservative thinking, including not only theorists but also writers and
practitioners. The series comprises twenty volumes, each including an
intellectual biography, historical context, critical exposition of the
thinker's work, reception and influence, contemporary relevance,
bibliography including references to electronic resources, and an index.
