In The Political Thought of\u003cbr\u003e\nFrederick Douglass, Nicholas Buccola provides an important and original\u003cbr\u003e\nargument about the ideas that animated this reformer-statesman. Beyond his role\u003cbr\u003e\nas an abolitionist, Buccola argues for the importance of understanding Douglass\u003cbr\u003e\nas a political thinker who provides deep insights into the immense challenge of\u003cbr\u003e\nachieving and maintaining the liberal promise of freedom. Douglass, Buccola\u003cbr\u003e\ncontends, shows us that the language of rights must be coupled with a robust\u003cbr\u003e\nunderstanding of social responsibility in order for liberal ideals to be\u003cbr\u003e\nrealized. Truly an original American thinker, this book highlights Douglass’s\u003cbr\u003e\nrightful place among the great thinkers in the American liberal tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPodcast — Nicholas Buccola on Frederick Douglass and Liberty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Nicholas Buccola","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53615435415932,"sku":"9781479867493","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781479867493_59cd1239-bc30-4d76-8093-02279b0cc097.jpg?v=1726663898","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/the-political-thought-of-frederick-douglass-1","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
