Book Synopsis Michael Oakeshott on Authority, Governance, and the State by : Eric S. Kos
Download or read book Michael Oakeshott on Authority, Governance, and the State written by Eric S. Kos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-13 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Oakeshott on Authority, Governance, and the State presents contributions on one of the most important British philosophers of the 20th century. These essays address unique and under-analyzed areas in the literature on Oakeshott: authority, governance, and the state. They draw on some of the earliest and least-explored works of Oakeshott, including his lectures at Cambridge and the London School of Economics and difficult-to-access essays and manuscripts. The essays are authored by a diverse set of emerging and established scholars from Europe, North America, and India. This authorial diversity is not only a testimony to the growing international interest in Oakeshott, but also to a plurality of perspectives and important new insights into the thought of Michael Oakeshott.

Download or read book The Place of Michael Oakeshott in Contemporary Western and Non-Western Thought written by Noel O'Sullivan and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continuing growth of worldwide interest in Michael Oakeshott's philosophy and political theory has recently (2016) been marked by the publication of two 'Companion to Oakeshott' volumes. This event provides a welcome opportunity to explore the reasons for his influence both within the West and beyond it. Essays by contributors from Britain, Canada, Hong Kong, India, and the USA provide a comprehensive critical assessment of the principal aspects of Oakeshott's thought that account for his contemporary relevance. The unusually multi-national background of the authors aims to give the volume a wide appeal, extending not only to those already familiar with Oakeshott’s writings but also to those as yet unfamiliar with them, regardless of their cultural background. All the contributors have attempted to write in a way that makes Oakeshott as accessible as possible.

Book Synopsis Sustainability and Security within Liberal Societies by : Stephen Gough
Download or read book Sustainability and Security within Liberal Societies written by Stephen Gough and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-11-22 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the world will be living in broadly "liberal" societies for the foreseeable future. Sustainability and security, however defined, must therefore be considered in the context of such societies, yet there is very little significant literature that does so. Indeed, much ecologically-oriented literature is overtly anti-liberal, as have been some recent responses to security concerns. This book explores the implications for sustainability and security of a range of intellectual perspectives on liberalism, such as those offered by John Rawls, Robert Nozick, Frederick Hayek, Ronald Dworkin, Michael Oakeshott, Amartya Sen and Jürgen Habermas.

Book Synopsis Isaiah Berlin’s Cold War Liberalism by : Jan-Werner Müller
Download or read book Isaiah Berlin’s Cold War Liberalism written by Jan-Werner Müller and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-21 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a succinct re-examination of Berlin’s Cold War liberalism, at a time when many observers worry about the emergence of a new Cold War. Two chapters look closely at Berlin’s liberalism in a Cold War context, one carefully analyses whether Berlin was offering a universal political theory – and argues that he did indeed (already at the time of the Cold War there were worries that Berlin was a kind of relativist). It will be of value for scholars of the cold war and of security issues in contemporary Asia, as well as students of history and philosophy.

Download or read book Confucian Liberalism written by Roy Tseng and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does Confucianism conflict with liberalism? Confucian Liberalism sheds new light on this long-standing debate entwined with the discourse of Chinese modernity. Focusing on the legacy of Mou Zongsan, the book significantly recasts the moral character and political ideal of Confucianism, accompanied by a Hegelian retreatment of the multiple facets of Western modernity and its core values, such as individuality, self-realization, democracy, civilized society, citizenship, public good, freedom, and human rights. The book offers a culturally sensitive way of reevaluating liberal language and forges a reconciliation between the two extremes of anti-Confucian liberalism and anti-liberal Confucianism. The result—Confucian liberalism—is akin to civil liberalism, in that it rests the form of liberal democracy on the content of "Confucian democratic civility." It is also comparable to perfectionist liberalism, endorsing a nondominant concept of the common good surrounded by a set of "Confucian governing and civic virtues."
Book Synopsis Michael Oakeshott and Leo Strauss by : David McIlwain
Download or read book Michael Oakeshott and Leo Strauss written by David McIlwain and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-14 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book compares the thought of Michael Oakeshott and Leo Strauss, bringing Oakeshott’s desire for a renaissance of poetic individuality into dialogue with Strauss’s recovery of the universality of philosophical enlightenment. Starting from the conventional understanding of these thinkers as important voices of twentieth-century conservatism, McIlwain traces their deeper and more radical commitments to the highpoints of human achievement and their shared concerns with the fate of traditional inheritances in modernity, the role and meaning of history, the intention and meaning of political philosophy, and the problem of politics and religion. The book culminates in an articulation of the positions of Oakeshott and Strauss as part of the quarrel of poetry and philosophy, revealing the ongoing implications of their thinking in terms of the profound spiritual and political questions raised by modern thinkers such as Hobbes, Hegel, Nietzsche and Heidegger and leading back to foundational figures of Western civilization including St. Augustine and Socrates.
Book Synopsis The Liberal International Theory Tradition in Europe by : Knud Erik Jørgensen
Download or read book The Liberal International Theory Tradition in Europe written by Knud Erik Jørgensen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how the liberal international theory tradition evolved in Europe. It includes nine chapters focusing on both historical and contemporary branches of liberal IR theorizing. The combined portrait of the prominent IR theory orientation shows a long and rich theoretical tradition but also a tradition that the scholarly community rarely fully recognize. It is currently somewhat challenged and therefore in need of further advances. Concerning the historical branches, the authors present a truly European tradition that thus was not only present in a few countries. The contributors introduce examples of liberal theorizing that IR scholars tend to dismiss and they trace the boundaries between the liberal and other theoretical traditions. Given the prominence of the tradition, the book is surprisingly among the first to present a transnational perspective on the development of the liberal international theory tradition in Europe.
Book Synopsis The Right-Wing Mirror of Critical Theory by : Larry Alan Busk
Download or read book The Right-Wing Mirror of Critical Theory written by Larry Alan Busk and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What really separates emancipatory thinking from its opposite? The prevailing Left defines itself against neoliberalism, conservative traditionalism, and fascism as a matter of course. The philosophical differences, however, may be more apparent than real. The Right-Wing Mirror of Critical Theory argues that dominant trends in critical and radical theory inadvertently reproduce the cardinal tenets of the twentieth century’s most influential right-wing philosophers. It finds the rejection of foundationalism, rationalism, economic planning, and vanguardism mirrored in the work of Schmitt, Oakeshott, Hayek, and Strauss. If it is to be more than merely an inverted image of the Right, critical theory must reevaluate its relationship to what Julius Nyerere once called “deliberate design” in politics. In the era of anthropogenic climate change, a substantial—not merely nominal—departure from right-wing talking points is all the more necessary and momentous.

Book Synopsis The Cold War in the 1950s by : Nicolas Lewkowicz
Download or read book The Cold War in the 1950s written by Nicolas Lewkowicz and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2024-03-12 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book claims that the United States and the Soviet Union attained the mastery of the international order by projecting universalist values that responded to the particularist markers of the domestic order that was generated in the 1950s. The geopolitical orientation adopted by the superpowers in the 1950s was shaped by the way in which their societies developed politically, socially and economically in the 1950s. The main argument of this book is that the quest for the mastery of the international order that informed superpower relations in the 1950s was guided by the need to respond to the local circumstances that emerged in the United States and the Soviet Union. The particularist markers that arose in the 1950s led to the establishment of a geopolitical project underpinned by certain universalist values that could be applied in order to build the superpowers’ sphere of influence.
