This article explores the idea that a paradigm for Hobbes’s state could in fact be found in early modern readings of Aristotle on democracy, as found in Book Three of the Politics. It argues that by the late sixteenth century, these meditations on the democratic body politic had developed claims about unity, mythology, and personation that would become central to Hobbes’s own theory of the commonwealth. Tracing the history of commentary on the relevant passages in Aristotle reveals new perspectives not only on the political theories of both Aristotle and Hobbes but also introduces modern readers to the richness of early modern commentaries on classical political texts. The article ends with some thoughts on why attention to traditions of commentary might be valuable for political theorists today.", "publicationTitle": "Political Theory", "publisher": "", "place":

and extraordinary-rather than on textual evidence alone. Books such as The Hare with Amber Eyes and A History of the World in 100 Objects indicate the growing popularity of this way of understanding the past. In History and Its Objects, Peter N. Miller uncovers the forgotten origins of our fascination with exploring the past through its artifacts by highlighting the role of antiquarianism-a pursuit ignored and derided by modem academic history-in grasping the significance of material culture.From the efforts of Renaissance antiquarians, who reconstructed life in the ancient world from coins, inscriptions, seals, and other detritus, to amateur historians in the nineteenth century working within burgeoning national traditions, Miller connects collecting-whether by individuals or institutions-to the professionalization of the historical profession, one which came to regard its progenitors with skepticism and disdain. The struggle to articulate the value of objects as historical evidence, then, lies at the heart both of academic history-writing and of the popular engagement with things. Ultimately, this book demonstrates that our current preoccupation with objects is far from novel and reflects a human need to reexperience the past as a physical presence.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2017", "publisher": "Cornell University Press", "place": "Ithaca, New York", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "", "ISBN": "978-1-5017-0823-7", "DOI": "10.7591/9781501708244", "citationKey": "millerHistoryItsObjects2017", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "C&N Europe" }, { "tag": "Europe general" }, { "tag": "Germany" }, { "tag": "discourse" }, { "tag": "history" }, { "tag": "new history" } ], "collections": [ "2ZGECY9S" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2025-05-25T12:14:51Z", "dateModified": "2026-04-14T09:24:00Z" } }, { "key": "GUASPI9I", "version": 21518, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 8983, "name": "Re-imagining democracy 1750-1850", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/re-imagining_democracy_1750-1850", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/8983/items/GUASPI9I", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/re-imagining_democracy_1750-1850/items/GUASPI9I", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 98942, "username": "innes", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/innes", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Rosenbusch", "parsedDate": "1998", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "GUASPI9I", "version": 21518, "itemType": "book", "title": "Der weg zum frauenwahlrecht in Deutschland", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Ute", "lastName": "Rosenbusch" }, { "creatorType": "contributor", "firstName": "Ute", "lastName": "Rosenbusch" } ], "abstractNote": "Vor genau achtzig Jahren wurde das Wahlrecht für Frauen in Deutschland auf Reichsebene eingeführt.

Flush from the recent American military victory over Mexico, many Americans celebrated news of democratic revolutions breaking out across Europe as a further sign of divine providence. Others thought that the 1848 revolutions served only to highlight how America's own revolution had not done enough in the way of reform. Still other Americans renounced the 1848 revolutions and the thought of transatlantic unity because they interpreted European revolutionary radicalism and its portents of violence, socialism, and atheism as dangerous to the unique virtues of the United States. When the 1848 revolutions failed to create stable democratic governments in Europe, many Americans declared that their own revolutionary tradition was superior; American reform would be gradual and peaceful. Thus, when violence erupted over the question of territorial slavery in the 1850s, the effect was magnified among antislavery Americans, who reinterpreted the menace of slavery in light of the revolutions and counter-revolutions of Europe. For them a new revolution in America could indeed be necessary, to stop the onset of authoritarian conditions and to cure American exemplarism. The Civil War, then, when it came, was America's answer to the 1848 revolutions, a testimony to America's democratic shortcomings, and an American version of a violent, nation-building revolution.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2009", "publisher": "University of Virginia Press", "place": "Charlottesville", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "288", "ISBN": "978-0-8139-2799-2", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "roberts2009", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Distant Revolutions", "language": "English", "libraryCatalog": "Amazon", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "1750-1850" }, { "tag": "Br N Am - US" }, { "tag": "Europe general" }, { "tag": "cultural links" }, { "tag": "discourse" }, { "tag": "political culture" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2026-03-23T14:55:31Z", "dateModified": "2026-03-23T14:56:35Z" } }, { "key": "Z9JHT5RQ", "version": 21493, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 8983, "name": "Re-imagining democracy 1750-1850", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/re-imagining_democracy_1750-1850", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/8983/items/Z9JHT5RQ", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/re-imagining_democracy_1750-1850/items/Z9JHT5RQ", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/8983/items/3LFVQFNV", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 98942, "username": "innes", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/innes", "type": "text/html" } } } }, "data": { "key": "Z9JHT5RQ", "version": 21493, "parentItem": "3LFVQFNV", "itemType": "attachment", "linkMode": "linked_url", "title": "Amazon.com Link", "accessDate": "2026-03-23T14:55:31Z", "url": "https://www.amazon.co.uk/Distant-Revolutions-Challenge-Exceptionalism-Jeffersonian/dp/0813927994", "note": "", "contentType": "text/html", "charset": "", "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2026-03-23T14:55:31Z", "dateModified": "2026-03-23T14:55:31Z" } }, { "key": "DQXR3Q9Z", "version": 21491, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 8983, "name": "Re-imagining democracy 1750-1850", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/re-imagining_democracy_1750-1850", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/8983/items/DQXR3Q9Z", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/re-imagining_democracy_1750-1850/items/DQXR3Q9Z", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 98942, "username": "innes", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/innes", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Burnard", "parsedDate": "2025", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "DQXR3Q9Z", "version": 21491, "itemType": "book", "title": "Republic and empire: crisis, revolution, and America's early independence", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Trevor", "lastName": "Burnard" }, { "creatorType": "contributor", "firstName": "Andrew Jackson", "lastName": "O'Shaughnessy" } ], "abstractNote": "\"A fresh look at the American Revolution as a major global event. At the time of the American Revolution (1765-83), the British Empire had colonies in India, Africa, the Caribbean, the Pacific, Canada, Ireland, and Gibraltar. The thirteen rebellious American colonies accounted for half of the total number of provinces in the British world in 1776. What of the loyal half? Why did some of Britain's subjects feel so aggrieved that they wanted to establish a new system of government, while others did not rebel? In this authoritative history, Trevor Burnard and Andrew Jackson O'Shaughnessy show that understanding the long-term causes of the American Revolution requires a global view. As much as it was an event in the history of the United States, the American Revolution was an imperial event produced by the upheavals of managing a far-flung set of imperial possessions during a turbulent period of reform. By looking beyond the familiar borders of the Revolution and considering colonies that did not rebel; Quebec, Nova Scotia, Bermuda, India, the British Caribbean, Senegal, and Ireland; Burnard and O'Shaughnessy go beyond the republican, liberal, and democratic aspects of the emerging American nation, providing a broader history that transcends what we think we know about the Revolution.\"; from the inside front flap.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2025", "publisher": "Yale University Press", "place": "New Haven", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "", "ISBN": "978-0-300-28018-0", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "burnard2025", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Republic and empire", "language": "eng", "libraryCatalog": "solo.bodleian.ox.ac.uk", "callNumber": "E 301 .B87 2025", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "1750-1850" }, { "tag": "Br N Am -

While our belief in the law may have become brittle, nothing escapes what is now the Eye of Big Brother. ‘In the Name of the Law’ takes up the various formulas used to legitimate the decisions of the courts, from the times of absolutism over the 19th century until today. The speaker who speaks in the name of a higher being underlines his function: his authority comes from above. And it is ‘in the name of’ god, king, people, state, nation, or law, that a weak, earthly, justice receives its support.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2009", "publisher": "Birkbeck Law Press", "place": "Abingdon, Oxon", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "98", "ISBN": "978-1-134-02810-8", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "stolleis2009", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "The Eye of the Law", "language": "English", "libraryCatalog": "Amazon", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "1750-1850" }, { "tag": "1850-1914" }, { "tag": "Europe general" }, { "tag": "ancient world" }, { "tag": "constitutions" }, { "tag": "early modern" }, { "tag": "law" }, { "tag": "visual images" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2026-03-19T10:25:41Z", "dateModified": "2026-03-20T10:10:24Z" } }, { "key": "JJZL9INT", "version": 21443, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 8983, "name": "Re-imagining democracy 1750-1850", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/re-imagining_democracy_1750-1850", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/8983/items/JJZL9INT", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/re-imagining_democracy_1750-1850/items/JJZL9INT", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/8983/items/RU3DTDJF", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 98942, "username": "innes", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/innes", "type": "text/html" } } } }, "data": { "key": "JJZL9INT", "version": 21443, "parentItem": "RU3DTDJF", "itemType": "attachment", "linkMode": "linked_url", "title": "Amazon.com Link", "accessDate": "2026-03-19T10:25:41Z", "url": "https://www.amazon.co.uk/Eye-Law-Essays-History-Birkbeck-ebook/dp/B0DMTYGYVT/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2HAIXVGDUQ5ZN&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.0MYuF8Q05m3fyrpJxlZz6g.KKjDsNmxKjHySHjn19jMW3KR5ItAgifO2abZsmOk9W8&dib_tag=se&keywords=stolleis+eye+law&qid=1773915809&sprefix=stolleis+eye+law%2Caps%2C246&sr=8-1", "note": "", "contentType": "text/html", "charset": "", "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2026-03-19T10:25:41Z", "dateModified": "2026-03-19T10:25:41Z" } }, { "key": "EJEH8ZYP", "version": 21441, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 8983, "name": "Re-imagining democracy 1750-1850", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/re-imagining_democracy_1750-1850", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/8983/items/EJEH8ZYP", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/re-imagining_democracy_1750-1850/items/EJEH8ZYP", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 98942, "username": "innes", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/innes", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Radu", "parsedDate": "2026", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "EJEH8ZYP", "version": 21441, "itemType": "book", "title": "Building Citizenship in Central and Eastern Europe, 1848–1939: Peasants' National Integration and Social Mobilisation", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Sorin", "lastName": "Radu" } ], "abstractNote": "This book examines patterns of national integration and the mobilisation of the peasantry across two historical regions, Central and Eastern Europe, over a long historical timeframe, spanning from the 1848 Revolution to the outbreak of the Second World War. It discusses how national elites in these regions interacted with the peasantry during the process of building modern nation-states and democratic political systems, and how political integration occurred by transforming peasants from subjects of various public actors into active citizens. The authors focus on the mechanisms employed by nation-states to achieve the socio-political integration of the peasantry, including land redistribution, universal suffrage, state-sponsored education, taxation, and military conscription, and on diverse channels of communicating the state’s agenda of modernisation, such as the church, the press, political parties, and other types of intermediaries. This book promotes interdisciplinary and comparative approaches to the question of the social and political integration of peasants within the various societies of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the emerging nation-states of Central and Eastern Europe.

Zenon Kohut shows how constant interplay between these cultures contributed to the development of political, territorial, religious, ethnic, and national collective visions that reflected early modern concepts of nation, state, and identity. Two persistent narratives - the idea of Ukrainian autonomy and perpetual rights, and the idea of a continuous \"Russian\" tsardom stemming from medieval times - formed the foundation for not only Ukrainian state- and nation-building but also Russia's modern identity and sense of nationhood, creating the ideological underpinning for Russian imperialism.\n\nBased in a classical analysis of ethnic, religious, and political ideas developed by early modern Ukrainian intellectuals, The Making of Cossack Ukraine brings to light the origins of present-day Ukrainian political thought.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2026", "publisher": "", "place": "", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "", "ISBN": "", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "zotero-item-9743", "url": "https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/The-Making-of-Cossack-Ukraine-by-Zenon-E-Kohut/9780228019015", "accessDate": "2026-03-16T13:19:47Z", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "en", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "ISBN: 9780228019015", "tags": [ { "tag": "1750-1850" }, { "tag": "C&N Europe" }, { "tag": "Habsburg lands" }, { "tag": "Poland" }, { "tag": "Russia" }, { "tag": "Ukraine" }, { "tag": "discourse" }, { "tag": "early modern" }, { "tag": "nation" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2026-03-16T13:19:47Z", "dateModified": "2026-03-16T13:24:27Z" } } ]
