It includes extensive discussion of the practices that underpinned medieval political theories and which continued to play crucial roles in the eventual development of early-modern political institutions and debates. The author strikes a balance between trying to understand the philosophical cogency of medieval and Renaissance arguments on the one hand, elucidating why historically-suited medieval and Renaissance thinkers thought the ways they did about politics; and why we often think otherwise.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eJanet Coleman\u003c\/b\u003e is the Professor of Ancient and Medieval Political Thought in the Government Department at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
