<div><p>The second edition of David Wootton's <i>Modern Political Thought: Readings from Machiavelli to Nietzsche<i> offers a new unit on modern constitutionalism with selections from Hume, Montesquieu, the Federalist, and Constant. In addition to a new essay by Wootton, this unit features his new translation of Constant's 1819 essay "On Ancient and Modern Liberty". Other changes include expanded selections from Machiavelli's <i>Discourses on Livy<i> and a new Hegel selection, all of which strengthen an already excellent anthology.</p></div>
