Civilization and Self-Government: The Political Thought of Carlo Cattaneo - Hardback

Civilization and Self-Government is the first systematic attempt to explicitly articulate the key elements of Carlo Cattaneo's pioneering attempt to advance freedom and self-government in nineteenth-century Europe. His public science combined two elements that constitute the two parts of this book: the study of incivilimento, and the art and science of self-governance. Cattaneo argued that people have to learn the arts of incivilimento before they can practice self-governance.Cattaneo's ideas recast, enrich, and broaden knowledge of the history of European thought beyond that generally available in English and French.
