Abstract
This entry focuses on the Renaissance philosophy scholarship of English historian of political thought Quentin Skinner. The work of Skinner’s Renaissance political philosophy is highlighted. An effort is made to identify Skinner’s key themes in Renaissance philosophy scholarship, including the leading philosophers he studies from the time period and the tradition that he departs from in the historical reception of scholarship in the field. All of Skinner’s major book-length contributions to Renaissance philosophy are noted, including his edited works in this area.
