Since at least the mid-seventeenth century, the concept of revolution has been an important tool both for those seeking to bring about political change and for those trying to understand it. And it is as relevant today as it has ever been. This volume re-evaluates our understanding of the history of revolutionary thought by examining a selection of key texts. These range from the 17th to the 20th century, and are carefully chosen to include both constitutional documents and theoretical works by figures such as James Harrington, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Maximilian Robespierre, Peter Kropotkin and Deng Xiaoping Each chapter engages with a particular revolutionary moment via a specific text, usually an extract of around 300 words, and considers the significance of the text for the history of revolutionary thought. The structure of the book allows readers to make connections and comparisons across the different revolutionary texts and moments, thereby providing a broader, deeper and more nuanced understanding of revolutions. Stimulating, accessible and interdisciplinary, Revolutionary Moments will appeal to students and researchers in the history of political thought and intellectual history, and beyond. 2022-10-14T14:53:36Z 2022-10-14T14:53:36Z 2015 book ONIX_20221014_9781472517234_107 9781472517234 9781472517227 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/58776 eng Textual Moments in the History of Political Thought application/pdf n/a 9781472517234.pdf Bloomsbury Academic Bloomsbury Academic 10.5040/9781474252669 10.5040/9781474252669 066d8288-86e4-4745-ad2c-4fa54a6b9b7b 9781472517234 9781472517227 Bloomsbury Academic 224 London open access
