Drawing on such diverse sources as classical authors and contemporary travel literature, Ferguson combines a subtle analysis of modern commercial society with a critique of its abandonment of civic and communal virtues. Central themes in Ferguson's theory of citizenship are conflict, play, political participation and military valor. The Essay is a bold and novel attempt to reclaim the tradition of active citizenship in the modern state.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52158467440928,"sku":"NEW0521447364","price":52.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61VqEeTbh7L.jpg?v=1786079826","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/ferguson-an-essay-on-the-history-of-civil-society-cambridge-texts-in-the-history-of-political-thought-0521447364","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
