Tracing the origins of modern political thought through three sets of arguments over history, morality, and freedomIn this wide-ranging work, Michael Sonenscher traces the origins of modern political thought and ideologies to a question, raised by Immanuel Kant, about what is involved in comparing individual human lives to the whole of human history. Kant's question injected a new, future-oriented dimension into existing discussions of prevailing norms, challenging their orientation toward the past. How can we compare them, or understand the results of the comparison?
Sonenscher argues that the genealogy of modern political ideologies--from liberalism to nationalism to This reversal made Kant's question a bridge between three successive sets of arguments: between the supporters of the ancients and moderns, the classics and romantics, and the Romans and the Germans.
