Description
The two studies, Indivisible Magnitudes and Aristotle and Epicurus on Voluntary Action, explain two doctrines in the philosophy of Epicurus. This is achieved first by a detailed examination of the ancient Greek and Latin texts which describe them, and second by showing how earlier Greek philosophy gave rise to the problems Epicurus tackled.
Originally published in 1967, the Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

German Nationalism and Religious Conflict
The German Empire of 1871, although unified politically, remained deeply divided along religious lines. In German Nationalism and Religious Conflict, Helmut Walser Smith offers the first social, cultural, and political history of this division.

Past and Process in Herodotus and Thucydides
This is the first systematic attempt to compare Herodotus and Thucydides as contemporaries, that is, as pre-Socratic thinkers who employed rather similar concepts and intellectual tools and who worked within the same theoretical framework or space.

Political Thought of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon
Alan Ritter examines the writings of Proudhon with a focus on the theme that, although Proudhon was a radical, he was also a realist and a moralist.

Political Thought of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon was originally published in 1969. The...Paperback$7399Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
The Origin of the Idea of Crusade
Though conditioned by the specific circumstances of eleventh-century Europe, the launching of the crusades presupposed a long historical evolution of the idea of Christian knighthood and holy war. Carl Erdmann developed this argument first in 1935 in a book that is still recognised as basic to an understanding of how the crusades came about. This first edition in English includes...Paperback$29800Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 2-3 weeks -
John Stuart Mill and Representative Government
Although Mill regarded Considerations on Representative Government as a mature statement of his theory of democracy, critics have tended to treat it less seriously than most of his other major works. Dennis Thompson argues that this neglect has led to inadequate interpretations of Mill's thought on democracy. Drawing where appropriate on other writings by Mill, the author restores a balanced...Paperback$8700Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
Interpretation
This book provides and defends an analysis of our concept of the meaning of a literary work. Interpretation challenges a number of widely held views concerning the role of an author's intention, the distinction between the "real" and the "implied" author, and the question of whether a work has not one correct, but many acceptable interpretations.

The Sovereignty of Reason
The Sovereignty of Reason is a survey of the rule of faith controversy in seventeenth-century England. It examines the arguments by which reason eventually became the sovereign standard of truth in religion and politics, and how it triumphed over its rivals: Scripture, inspiration, and apostolic tradition. Frederick Beiser argues that the main threat to the authority of reason in seventeenth-century...Paperback$11600Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
