Description
"This volume charts Skinner's work from the early 1960s right up to the present, including his most recent studies in the theory of persuasive speech, and is organized around five major themes: history, linguistic action, political thought, liberty and rhetoric. It pays particular attention to Skinner's work in relation to that of continental thinkers, especially Max Weber and Reinhart Koselleck." "The book will be essential reading for students and scholars of political and social theory, history, philosophy and cultural studies."--BOOK JACKET.
