Описание на книгата Откъс от книгата За автора

Unlike many twenty-first-century scholars who view religious liberty as simply a “freedom from” state interference, William Penn viewed religious liberty as part of a broader emphasis on individual responsibility. His writings played a crucial role in the articulation of religious liberty as a philosophical and political value during the second half of the seventeenth century and form a core element of the Anglo-American tradition. This volume, the first collection devoted specifically to Penn’s political writings, illustrates the origin and development of his political thought by presenting complete and annotated texts of all his important political works.
In part one Penn elaborates his formulation of how the ancient constitution and English liberties relate to the more specific issues of toleration and religious liberty. Part two articulates Penn’s arguments for religious liberty, and part three applies his more general arguments to specific events in English politics. The book concludes with an essay that expands Penn’s political vision beyond England and America to consideration of issues of European scope.
