Florentine Political Thought and the Atlantic Tradition (1975), on connat l’importance de James Harrington dans la pense politique anglo-amricaine  la priode moderne. Parce qu’au-del de l’acte de rsistance  la tyrannie, il promeut la dmocratie et propose les moyens constitutionnels de mettre en œuvre la souverainet populaire dans un pays de vaste tendue, Harrington a incarn une forme distinctive de rpublicanisme. \u003cbr\u003e En retraant l’histoire de sa rception dans la France des Lumires, cet ouvrage a pour but de combler un hiatus entre le grand rcit pocockien du rpublicanisme machiavlien et l’historiographie de la Rvolution franaise. En cela, il s’inscrit dans le panorama bross en 2010 par l’historienne Rachel Hammersley, et va au-del. D’une part, il accorde  Hume, Jaucourt ou Rousseau, aux cts de ses nombreux traducteurs et commentateurs, un rle central dans l’actualisation de la pense de Harrington. D’autre part, il montre que son hritage intellectuel fut pluriel. Celui-ci n’est en effet pas seulement l’inspirateur de dispositions constitutionnelles spcifiques :  l’heure o se dveloppe l’conomie politique, Harrington apparat comme le penseur d’une galit relative des fortunes, perue comme la seule base possible d’un ordre politique stable. \u003cbr\u003e -- \u003cbr\u003e John Pocock’s book The Machiavellian Moment. Florentine Political Thought and the Atlantic Tradition (1975) has shown the importance of James Harrington in Anglo-American modern political thought. Beyond the act of resistance to tyranny, he vindicates democracy and provides the constitutional means for implementing popular sovereignty in a vast country. In doing so, Harrington has incarnated a distinctive form of republicanism. \u003cbr\u003e By reconstructing the history of his reception in eighteenth century France, this book aims to bridge the gap between the great Pocockian narrative of Machiavellian republicanism and the historiography of the French Revolution. It is set against the panorama offered by Rachel Hammersley in 2010 and aims to go further. On the one hand, it shows how central Hume, Jaucourt or Rousseau have been in reviving Harrington’s thought, along with his numerous translators and commentators. On the other hand, it shows that his intellectual legacy was diverse. He did not only stand as the inspirer of specific constitutional measures: as political economy developed, Harrington also appeared as the theoretician of a relative equality of wealth among the people, perceived by many as the true basis of a stable political order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46507645305042,"sku":"9781802070606","price":147.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_8d84ecce-ac06-4a51-b341-7b3d9a48016a.jpg?v=1762559791","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/products\/la-r-publique-de-harrington-dans-la-france-des-lumi-res-et-de-la-r-volution","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
