In the late eighteenth century, an array of European political thinkers attacked the very foundations of imperialism, arguing that empire-building was not only unworkable, costly, and dangerous, but manifestly unjust. This book is devoted to the anti-imperialist political philosophies of an age often regarded as affirming imperial ambitions.
