This volume investigates the impact the first and third Earls of
Shaftesbury had on Enlightenment thought. The focus is on both their
tangible actions on the political stage of the day and on the more
general intellectual repercussions of what these men stood for in word
and deed. As a result, «Shaping Enlightenment Politics» offers
important re-evaluations of what two towering figures of the age had
to contribute to much-contested topics such as slavery, the discourse
of civic humanism, or party politics.
