Thoughts on Civil Liberty / Tankar om borgerliga friheten

Peter Forsskål




250 years ago, the Swedish scholar Peter Forsskål published a pamphlet demanding human rights. The publication, called ‘Thoughts on Civil Liberty’, was immediately banned and those who were found to have a copy in their home had to pay a fine. Nevertheless, the text did circulate and contributed to the freedom of the press which was established some years later in Sweden. Forsskål´s pamphlet is now published for the very first time in English, together with the original version of the Swedish text, without the censor´s changes. The English version has been rendered by a group of experts: David Goldberg, Gunilla Jonsson, Helena Jäderblom, Gunnar Persson and Thomas von Vegesack, under the leadership of David Goldberg. David Shaw polished the final version of the translation. The work is introduced and commented upon by David Goldberg, Gunilla Jonsson and Thomas von Vegesack.

Tungt vägande och klart som vatten

”I historiens ljus framstår ´Tankar om borgerliga friheten´ som en av den svenska frihetstidens tyngre politiska texter. Den unge mannen själv må ha varit kantig och stursk, men hans tankar var klara som vatten.”

Fredrik Sjöberg i Svenska Dagbladet
