In The Political Thought of\u003cbr\u003e Frederick Douglass, Nicholas Buccola provides an important and original\u003cbr\u003e argument about the ideas that animated this reformer-statesman. Beyond his role\u003cbr\u003e as an abolitionist, Buccola argues for the importance of understanding Douglass\u003cbr\u003e as a political thinker who provides deep insights into the immense challenge of\u003cbr\u003e achieving and maintaining the liberal promise of freedom. Douglass, Buccola\u003cbr\u003e contends, shows us that the language of rights must be coupled with a robust\u003cbr\u003e understanding of social responsibility in order for liberal ideals to be\u003cbr\u003e realized. Truly an original American thinker, this book highlights Douglass's\u003cbr\u003e rightful place among the great thinkers in the American liberal tradition.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Podcast — Nicholas Buccola on Frederick Douglass and Liberty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53567379767670,"sku":"9781479867493","price":27.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_26211411.jpg?v=1730225360","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781479867493-political-thought-of-frederick-doug","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
