John Ruskin's Politics and Natural Law

Zusatztext

This book offers new perspectives on the origins and development of John Ruskins political thought. Graham A. MacDonald traces the influence of late medieval and pre-Enlightenment thought in Ruskins writing, reintroducing readers to Ruskins politics as shaped through his engagement with concepts of natural law, legal rights, labour and welfare organization. From Ruskins youthful studies of geology and chemistry to his back-to-the-land project, the Guild of St. George, he emerges as a complex political thinker, a reformerand what we would recognize today as an environmentalist. John Ruskins Politics and Natural Law is a nuanced reappraisal of neglected areas of Ruskins thought.
