Publisher's Synopsis
American Political Ideas Viewed From The Standpoint Of Universal History is a book written by John Fiske, an American historian and philosopher. The book is a study of American political thought and its development over time, viewed through the lens of universal history. Fiske explores the origins of American political ideas, tracing them back to ancient Greece and Rome, and discusses how they have evolved through the centuries. He examines the influence of European political philosophers such as Locke, Rousseau, and Montesquieu on American political thought, and how American ideas have in turn influenced the world. Fiske also examines the role of religion in American politics, and the importance of the concept of liberty in the American political tradition. The book is a comprehensive study of American political ideas, and provides a unique perspective on their development and influence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
