9789069842813 - Political Thought in the Dutch Republic: Three Studies von Kossmann, E. H. (1 Ergebnisse)

Amsterdam, KNAW, 2000. 197 pp. As new. Softcover. What political theories did early Dutch citizens develop to justify the existence of a republic that had grown enormously wealthy and powerful in only one generation? This book brings together, for the first time in English, three essays by E.H. Kossmann that examine the meaning of political philosophy for the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Dutch state. Accompanied by an updated introduction, these essays present a completely new perspective on the political atmosphere in the early Dutch republic. These three essays, previously published as independent articles, are brought together here for the first time in English. An introduction has been added in which the author places the original texts in a new perspective.
