Bibliography for Freedom’s Progress
(Part One—Ancient and Medieval Political Thought)
I have had recourse wherever possible to the original texts of the thinkers I discuss. These are available in various versions. One of the best is the series Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought.
The Online Library of Liberty is another valuable source of primary source material. The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy has many useful articles.
There are several standard histories of political philosophy in the field, most of them pretty massive volumes, covering a similar range of thinkers, albeit in different ways and with different emphases. I have included some of the more prominent below.
