His public science combined two elements that constitute the two parts of this book: the study of incivilimento, and the art and science of self-governance. Cattaneo argued that people have to learn the arts of incivilimento before they can practice self-governance. Though a distinguishing feature of Italian political thought has been to stress the multiform nature of political rule, it was Cattaneo who first showed that it was possible, through a federal commercial republic, to harmonize and foster liberty, equality, and heterogeneity. Characteristically, he envisioned a federal commercial republic for Europe as well. Cattaneo's ideas recast, enrich, and broaden knowledge of the history of European thought beyond that generally available in English and French.This book reveals a strong affinity between Cattaneo's and Tocqueville's spirit and vision.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47606252011671,"sku":"9780739137529","price":13971.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780739137529.webp?v=1775032017","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/civilization-and-self-government-the-political-thought-of-carlo-cattaneo-9780739137529","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
