by Alan Macfarlane (Author)
This study of four great thinkers who lived between 1689 and 1995 - Montesquieu, Adam Smith, De Tocqueville, and Ernest Gellner - weaves their lives and works together and through their own words shows how they approached the question of the nature of humanity, our past and our future.
