Inhaltsangabe

With the publication of The Circle of Rights Expands Monahan completes his trilogy exploring the effect of earlier thinking and practice on modern ideas about democracy. This final volume examines problems of sovereignty, religious toleration, and individual rights, emphasizing the relationship between such individual rights and economic change.
Monahan's reading of individual philosophers, including the work of Spinoza, sixteenth-century advocates of religious toleration, and the radical Diggers and Levellers of England in the mid-seventeenth century, constitutes a convincing overview of the political theory of the period.
