Excerpt from Bodies Politic and Their Governments In the following chapters the author lays before his readers sketches in words of those political organisations with which a study of history has made him acquainted. The sketches are many, their subjects diversified: but each group of kindred subjects is figured in a chapter or a few chapters by itself, and when that is done a tabular view of the subjects in the group is appended. In the tabular view the subjects appear no longer in separate sketches, but in a single small and compact panorama. In the last chapter the separate panoramas are joined together into one, and a birds eye view of political organisations of all sorts is exhibited. During the last twenty or thirty years the author has been led by his studies to form one after another several different general views of political organisations and political phenomena, each of them, he believes, a little nearer to the truth than the one that preceded it. Eleven years ago one of these views, the best that he could then make, was published under the title, Outlines of Comparative Politics.

The politics of the body is often highly contested, culturally specific, and controlled, and this book calls our attention to how bodies are included or excluded in the polity. With governments regulating bodies in ways that mark the political boundaries of who is a citizen, worthy of protection and rights, as well as those who transgress socially proscribed norms, the contributors to this volume offer a systematic investigation of both theoretical and empirical account of bodily differences broadly defined. These chapters, diverse in both the populations and the political behaviours examined, as well as the methodological approaches employed, showcase the significance of body politics in a way few edited works in political science currently do. Arguing that the body is an important site to understand power relations, this book will be of interest to those studying the unequal application of rights to women, racial and ethnic minorities, the LGBTQ community, and people with disabilities. This book was originally published as a special issue of Politics, Groups, and Identities.

"Christine de Pizan's Body Politic (1406-1407) is the first political treatise to have been written not just by a woman, but by a woman capable of holding her own in a normally male domain. It advises not just the prince, as was traditional, but also nobles, knights, and the common people, promoting the ideals of interdependence and social responsibility. Rooted in the mind-set of medieval Christendom, it heralds the humanism of the Renaissance, highlighting classical culture and Roman civic virtues. The Body Politic resounds still today, urging the need for probity in public life and the importance of responsibilities as well as rights"--

In this book, Gobetti combines political theory with the history of political thought to question the conceptual conventions and tacit assumptions which surround the concepts of private and public. In seeking the foundations of the modern liberal conception of private and public, she traces it to modern Natural Law thinkers, in particular Locke and Hutcheson. By developing a revised interpretation of 17th century natural jurisprudence, which recognizes that every adult controls an individual or private domain, as well as engaging in political, community or public interaction, Gobetti raises interesting questions about the politics of participation in modern society.
