J. G. A. Pocock on Republicanism - Dictionary of Arguments
Gaus I 173 Republicanism/Pocock/Dagger: Sandel's profession of republicanism has contributed to a revival of republican political theory that has been under way since at least 1975, when Pocock's Machiavellian Moment called attention to the 'Atlantic republican tradition'(1). Pocock himself drew on the work of other historians, such as Zera Fink (1945)(2), Caroline Robbins (1959)(3), Bernard Bailyn (1967)(4), and Gordon Wood (1969)(5), who had stressed the importance of republican or 'common-wealth' themes in the political controversies and upheavals of England and America in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Hannah Arendt/Pocock: Another source of inspiration was the political theorist Hannah Arendt: 'In terms borrowed from or suggested by the language of Hannah Arendt, [The Machiavellian Moment] has told part of the story of the revival in the early modern West of the ancient ideal of homo politicus (the zoon politikon of Aristotle), who affirms his being and his virtue by the medium of political action' (1975(1): 550). 1.
