Political Meritocracy in Renaissance Italy : The Virtuous Republic of Francesco Patrizi of Siena

James Hankins offers the first full-length study of Francesco Patrizi's life and thought. A key but largely forgotten Renaissance thinker, Patrizi wrote influentially on "virtue politics," with the goal of nurturing citizens' character and education so societies could effectively balance demands of liberty, equality, and merit-based leadership.
