{"product_id":"9780739188125","title":"Civilization and Self-Government : The Political Thought of Carlo Cattaneo","description":"\u003cp\u003eCivilization 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. Though a distinguishing feature of Italian political thought has been to stress the multiform nature of political rule, it was Cattaneo who first showed that it was possible, through a federal commercial republic, to harmonize and foster liberty, equality, and heterogeneity. Characteristically, he envisioned a federal commercial republic for Europe as well. Cattaneo's ideas recast, enrich, and broaden knowledge of the history of European thought beyond that generally available in English and French.This book reveals a strong affinity between Cattaneo's and Tocqueville's spirit and vision.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48685546307819,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":107.94,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780739188125-1.jpg?v=1781634344","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9780739188125","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
