This short, engaging book challenges the widely held belief that 'classical liberalism' is the original and authentic form of liberalism. The book argues that this narrative - often used to position libertarianism as the true liberal tradition and social democratic liberalism as a distortion - is built on historical misunderstandings of the terms 'liberal' and 'liberalism'. Focusing on English and American contexts, the book uses primary sources to show that the free-market doctrines of Adam Smith, later interpreted by thinkers like Hayek and Friedman as libertarian principles, should not be conflated with liberalism. Instead, liberalism first emerged in nineteenth-century England as a political philosophy rooted in constitutionalism and republicanism. The book also examines how Franklin D. Roosevelt reshaped American political language by associating "liberals" with New Deal supporters and "conservatives" with its opponents. By exploring these two pivotal moments and the broader political and economic history that connects them, de Marneffe redefines classical liberalism and critiques rigid interpretations of liberal thought. This book will appeal to scholars of politics, philosophy, economics, and the history of ideas.

The Political Thought of John Locke: New Perspectives offers the most comprehensive collective overview of Locke's political thought in over fifty years. It brings together research essays by political theorists, historians of political thought, and intellectual historians to survey Locke's political writings in their immediate historical and intellectual contexts and in the longer perspective of the history of their reception up to the present. Locke's Two Treatises of Government is now one of the most widely taught texts in the canon of political theory. Discussions of this work also provide important touchstones for methodological discussions in multiple disciplines, beginning with John Dunn's germinal monograph, The Political Thought of John Locke (1969). This volume traces the long shadow of Dunn's book, while in dialogue with other interventions since. The chapters shed fresh light not only on Locke's Two Treatises (its publication, its international dimensions, and its resistance theory, for example) but also his writings on toleration, on his relationship with contemporary theology and with Thomas Hobbes, and on his contributions to the histories of liberalism, colonialism, and post-colonial theory. Taken together, they offer a timely and much-needed opportunity for conversation among historical, critical, and theoretical approaches to Locke's thought as well as stimulating resources for scholars, teachers, and advanced students concerned with Locke's political thought and with political theory more broadly.

The seventeenth-century English philosopher Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan or the Matter, Forme and Power of a Commonwealth Ecclesiasticall and Civil, commonly known as Leviathan, has fascinated, alarmed, and challenged readers ever since its publication in 1651. Both a modernization of natural law theory and an early and influential contribution to social contract theory, Leviathan offers a powerful, systematic theory of the rights and duties of sovereigns and subjects, governors and citizens. This Critical Guide provides scholars, students, and anyone curious about Hobbes's political theory access to the latest research into Hobbes's views of philosophical method, human psychology, morality, law, liberty, governance, power relations, obligation, agency and responsibility, the requisites of social stability, pride, honor, theism, and organized religion. In fourteen original essays by many of today's leading Hobbes scholars, the volume provides overviews and in-depth investigations into those aspects of Hobbes's thinking in Leviathan that are of greatest interest today.

Informative and enlightening, in Cicero's New Leadership Evan R.W. Dutmer explores an important ancient predecessor to mainstream leadership studies research. Using Marcus Tullius Cicero's On the Republic as a point of departure, Dutmer connects its vision for leadership with contemporary parallels, examining key virtues beneficial to both individuals and societies.Dutmer introduces the term 'proto-transformational' to categorize Cicero's leadership theory, addressing the ancient biases present in his idealized leadership portraits. The book outlines how Cicero's ideal leaders are both ethical and effective: they act as authentic transformational leaders, selflessly serving the common good while demonstrating virtuous integrity in their words and actions. Dutmer also highlights how Cicero's model, which centers on the practice of the Cardinal Virtues, aligns with current character-focused leadership development frameworks. Chapters address the emerging developments in two crucial movements in modern leadership studies: transformational leadership and Leadership for Flourishing.This book is an essential read for scholars and students of leadership theory, ethics, political science and political philosophy. By establishing Cicero as a significant leadership thinker, it will also appeal to those interested in applying such concepts to debates and areas of practical importance within law, religion and constitutions.
