About this product
Product Information
James Hankins offers the first full-length study of Francesco Patrizi's life and thought. A key but largely forgotten Renaissance thinker, Patrizi wrote influentially on "virtue politics," with the goal of nurturing citizens' character and education so societies could effectively balance demands of liberty, equality, and merit-based leadership.

Reviews
Patrizi had lots of interesting ideas...Hankins is an eloquent guide to all of them. But he is occupied most of all with Patrizi's argument for political meritocracy. For Hankins, the idea of meritocratic power is woven through humanist virtue politics, which held that everyone was equal in their capacity to become virtuous through a liberal education. If virtue can be learned, then even the humblest members of civil society can become rulers by acquiring it. Indeed, there was no other route to the legitimate exercise of power than the acquisition of virtue., We can all benefit from seeing Patrizi restored to his proper place in the history of ideas, as this deeply scholarly and splendidly readable study succeeds in doing., Through meticulous scholarship and forceful argumentation, James Hankins restores Francesco Patrizi to his rightful place among leading Italian humanists such as Petrarch and Machiavelli, and also among giants of pan-European humanists such as Thomas More. A tour de force in intellectual history and political theory., Hankins returns us to the Renaissance in order to explore the fate of political meritocracy...[He is] a time traveler, a navigator among languages, and a comparatist who combines exquisite breadth and peerless depth., I'd like to believe that four years reading Thucydides, Plato and Euripides makes my students better citizens and more virtuous people...I am hoping for therapeutic reassurance from James Hankins's Political Meritocracy in Renaissance Italy , a study of the neglected humanist thinker Francesco Patrizi, an early proponent of republican equality grounded in mass public virtue--instilled, obviously, through the study of Classics.
