Natural right—the idea that there is a collection of laws and rights based not on custom or belief but that are “natural” in origin—is typically associated with liberal politics and freedom. In The Terror of Natural Right, Dan Edelstein argues that the revolutionaries used the natural right concept of the “enemy of the human race”—an individual who has transgressed the laws of nature and must be executed without judicial formalities—to authorize three-quarters of the deaths during the Terror. Edelstein further contends that the Jacobins shared a political philosophy that he calls “natural republicanism,” which assumed that the natural state of society was a republic and that natural right provided its only acceptable laws. Ultimately, he proves that what we call the Terror was in fact only one facet of the republican theory that prevailed from Louis’s trial until the fall of Robespierre. A highly original work of historical analysis, political theory, literary criticism, and intellectual history, The Terror of Natural Right challenges prevailing assumptions of the Terror to offer a new perspective on the Revolutionary period.

Excerpt from Freedom, Civil and Religious: The American Conception of Liberty for Press, Pulpit, and Public, as Guaranteed in the Federal Constitution The publishers of this book believe in civil government and in the importance of religion. The Christian church and organized civil government are both of divine origin. We believe that the Christian church was established by God for man's spiritual welfare, and that civil government was ordained by divine authority to protect all men in the exercise of their natural rights. But while we believe that both the church and the state are ordained of God for man's highest good, we also hold that each is ordained for an entirely different and separate line of work, that they should operate in distinct spheres, and that the realm of the one is in no sense the sphere of the other.

Excerpt from On Freedom Immanuel Kant has demonstrated in the Critique of Pure Reason that the idea of freedom and the law of nature taking part together in the same human action is one that does not involve any necessary contradiction. This was truly an epoch-making achievement, and had that great man left nothing else behind him for the instruction and inspiration of posterity than his exposition of the intelligible and empirical characters, he would still be remembered through the ages as the one of the mighty thinkers of the earth. No one can study that part of the Critique with an honest desire to appreciate its significance without being a convinced that mechanism, as the undisputed overlord of the realms of faith and knowledge, has finally been driven from the stronghold where so many had imagined it to be irrevocably and impregnably entrenched.

Winner of the PROSE Award An NRC Handelsblad Best Book of the Year “Ambitious and impressive...At a time when the very survival of both freedom and democracy seems uncertain, books like this are more important than ever.” —The Nation “Helps explain how partisans on both the right and the left can claim to be protectors of liberty, yet hold radically different understandings of its meaning...This deeply informed history of an idea has the potential to combat political polarization.” —Publishers Weekly “Ambitious and bold, this book will have an enormous impact on how we think about the place of freedom in the Western tradition.” —Samuel Moyn, author of Not Enough “Brings remarkable clarity to a big and messy subject...New insights and hard-hitting conclusions about the resistance to democracy make this essential reading for anyone interested in the roots of our current dilemmas.” —Lynn Hunt, author of History: Why It Matters For centuries people in the West identified freedom with the ability to exercise control over the way in which they were governed. The equation of liberty with restraints on state power—what most people today associate with freedom—was a deliberate and dramatic rupture with long-established ways of thinking. So what triggered this fateful reversal? In a masterful and surprising reappraisal of more than two thousand years of Western thinking about freedom, Annelien de Dijn argues that this was not the natural outcome of such secular trends as the growth of religious tolerance or the creation of market societies. Rather, it was propelled by an antidemocratic backlash following the French and American Revolutions. The notion that freedom is best preserved by shrinking the sphere of government was not invented by the revolutionaries who created our modern democracies—it was first conceived by their critics and opponents. De Dijn shows that far from following in the path of early American patriots, today’s critics of “big government” owe more to the counterrevolutionaries who tried to undo their work.
