The Machiavellian Moment

This book is a study of the consequences for modern historical and social consciousness of the ideal of the classical republic revived by Machiavelli and other thinkers of Renaissance Italy. J.G.A. Pocock suggests that Machiavelli's prime emphasis was on the moment in which the republic confronts the problem of its own instability in time, and which he calls the 'Machiavellian moment.' After examining this problem in the thought of Machiavelli, Guicciardini, and Giannotti, Professor Pocock turns to the revival of republican thought in Puritan England, and in Revolutionary and Federalist America. He argues that the American Revolution can be considered the last great act of the civic humanism of the Renaissance, and relates the origins of modern historicism to the clash between civic, Christian, and commercial values in the thought of the eighteenth century. 'In analyzing the history of consciousness as explicated through philosophers, political theorists, historians, theologians, lawyers, and prophets, it presents a new interpretation of wide-ranging problems. It should be of great value to scholars in many disciplines concerned with history of ideas.' 'Marvin B. Becker

Why must I activate my Adobe Reader?

Many publishers require powerful copy protection for their eBook titles. In order for you to be able to purchase and download eBook titles that have been secured for distribution, you first need to activate your Adobe Reader. Just as a credit card typically must be activated by a bank before use, your Adobe Reader needs to be activated before you can purchase and read eBooks packaged for secure distribution.

Can I print or copy my Adobe ebook?

To protect copyrights, publishers and authors establish their own guidelines for how much of their eBooks can be printed or copied. This means that these permissions will differ from book to book. Each ebook file has a differing level of encryption which is controlled by the author/publisher at creation. For example, a publisher might give users the ability to print several pages of a cookbook within a set period of time. You'll see specifc settings for the Adobe title under the ebook description.
