Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Greek antiquity to the latest theories, this historical survey of political philosophy not only covers the major thinkers in the field but also explores the theme of how political philosophy relates to the nature of man. It illustrates how the great political thinkers have always grounded their political thought in what the author terms a "normative anthropology," which typically has not only ethical but metaphysical and/or theological components. Starting with the ancient Greek Sophists, author Michael J. White examines how thinkers over the centuries have approached such political and philosophical concerns as justice, morality, and human flourishing, offering substantial studies of--among others--Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Locke, Hobbes, Rousseau, Marx, and J. S. Mill. White highlights the impact of Christianity on political philosophy, illustrating the diversity of that impact by studies of Augustine, Aquinas, and Marsilius of Padua. Concluding with an in-depth analysis of John Rawls and contemporary liberal political philosophy, this text blends insight and information in a refreshing and useful manner. A brief Epilogue considers both the value and the limitations of political philosophy and its study.

Book excerpt: Otfried Höffe is one of the foremost political philosophers in Europe today. In this major work, already a classic in continental Europe, he re-examines philosophical discourse on justice - from Classical Greece to the present day. Höffe confronts what he sees as the two major challenges to any theory of justice: the legal, positivist claim that there are no standards of justice external to legal systems; and the anarchist claim that justice demands the rejection and abolition of all legal and state systems. Höffe sets out to continue the 'philosophical project of modernity', the legitimation of human rights, and their guarantee by the state, while at the same time rehabilitating the classical theory of political justice represented by Plato and Aristotle. He questions the success of the positivists in avoiding extra-legal normative claims, and casts doubt on the plausibility of their criticism of the Natural Law tradition. Most anarchists, he argues, rely on an uncritical assumption that social institutions other than states and legal orders do not coerce. In Höffe's view, some coercion is unavoidable, and the grounds for its justification must be examined. Principles of justice will be those principles which define fundamental rights, and which must be enforced if rights are to be respected.

This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. This exciting new text presents the first overview of Jean Jacques Rousseau's work from a political science perspective. Was Rousseau--the great theorist of the French Revolution--really a conservative? This original study argues that the he was a constitutionalist much closer to Madison, Montesquieu, and Locke than to revolutionaries. Outlining his profound opposition to Godless materialism and revolutionary change, this book finds parallels between Rousseau and Burke, as well as showing how Rousseau developed the first modern theory of nationalism. The book presents an integrated political analysis of Rousseau's educational, ethical, religious and political writings, and will be essential reading for students of politics, philosophy and the history of ideas.

Download or read book The Political Philosophy of Francis Bacon written by Tom van Malssen and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2014-11-19 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ambitious and radically original reading of philosopher Francis Bacon. Comprehensive in its ambitions and meticulous in its approach, The Political Philosophy of Francis Bacon is a new and unique interpretation of one of early modernitys more important thinkers. Whereas recent works on Bacon tend to confine themselves either to interpreting his historical context or to considering the founder of Baconianism from the perspective of one work in particular or the history of science in general, Tom van Malssen argues, through detailed and provocative interpretations of a number of Baconian writings, that the unity of Bacons thought can only be revealed if these writings are read in historical and philosophical conjunction as well as on the assumption that they are all somehow part of the whole of Bacons political philosophy. In addition to restoring Bacon to the pantheon of great philosophers, van Malssen demonstrates that a proper understanding of Bacons political philosophy contributes significantly to our understanding of the nature of philanthropic science, the modern project, and ultimately ourselves. This book will become an enduring pillar of our understanding of Bacons philosophy. The scholarship and mastery of the historical sources, both philosophic and Biblical, are brilliant. Jerry Weinberger, author of Science, Faith, and Politics: Francis Bacon and the Utopian Roots of the Modern Age: A Commentary on Bacons Advancement of Learning The scholarship of Bacon in this book is masterful. It should transform and deepen the field, the field being the nature and history of the philosophic life. This is arguably the most thoughtful, penetrating, and ultimately revealing book on Bacon ever written.

Download or read book Die politische Philosophie Thomas Hobbes ́ written by Matti Ostrowski and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2011-06-14 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Politik - Politische Theorie und Ideengeschichte, Note: 1,0, Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen (Institut für Politikwissenschaft), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: „Homo homini lupus“ – Der Mensch ist des Menschen ein Wolf. Mit diesem Zitat reduzierte Thomas Hobbes Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts den Menschen auf ein Wesen, das sich ohne eingreifende Gewalt (selbst-)zerstörerisch gegenüber seinen Mitmenschen verhält. Er schloss damit an das bereits knapp 100 Jahre vor ihm entwickelte negative Menschenbild Niccolo Macchiavellis an, der diesem von Grund auf misstraute, da dieser selbst gegenüber seinem eigenen Wohltäter undankbar sei. Auf dieser Anthropologie aufbauend entwickelte Thomes Hobbes seinerzeit in seinen politischen Schriften die politisch-philosophische Lehre vom Naturzustand, in dem eben jenes Zitat in vollster Ausprägung zutreffen würde. Dieser Zustand, so Hobbes, könne nur über den rationalistisch begründeten Abschluss eines Gesellschaftsvertrages aller Individuen untereinander und der Übertragung der Macht an eine übergeordnete Instanz – den Staat – überwunden werden. Doch wie genau sollte ein idealer Staat aufgebaut sein? Hobbes selbst hatte einen vom Gesellschaftsvertrag ausgenommenen absoluten Monarchen vorgeschlagen, was nicht nur die Frage aufkommen ließ, wie dieser sich dann noch legitimieren ließe, sondern auch, warum Thomas Hobbes zu den ersten Aufklärern zählen darf. Im Zentrum der folgenden Arbeit soll daher im ersten Teil zunächst die politische Theorie Thomas Hobbes ́ stehen. Es soll mit Hilfe seiner philosophischen Überzeugungen dargestellt werden, wie der Naturzustand zu verstehen ist und welche praktischen Konsequenzen sich für ihn aus diesem Konstrukt ergeben, beispielsweise die strikte Ablehnung demokratischer Staatsformen und die Einrichtung einer – später „absolutistisch“ genannten – Monarchie. Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit wird dann vor allem die Rezeption und Wirkung Thomas Hobbes besprochen. Dabei soll geklärt werden, ob und inwieweit Hobbes trotz seiner heute anachronistisch wirkenden politischer Überzeugung zu den frühen Aufklärern zählt. Denn während bereits Zeitgenossen aller Couleur seine Lehre größtenteils ablehnten, zeigte sich spätestens im 18. Jahrhundert das zweite Gesicht des Denkers und dessen bleibender Einfluss. Ob gewollt oder ungewollt hat er späteren Philosophen und Staatstheoretikern nämlich Instrumente in die Hand gegeben, mit deren Hilfe die politischen Ideen der Aufklärung legitimiert werden konnten.

Download or read book The Political Vocation of Philosophy written by Donatella Di Cesare and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-05-27 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is time for philosophy to return to the city. In today’s crisis-ridden world of globalised capitalism, increasingly closed in on itself, it may seem harder than ever to think of ways out. Philosophy runs the risk of becoming the handmaiden of science and of a hollowed-out democracy. Donatella Di Cesare calls on philosophy instead to return to the political fray and to the city, the global pólis, from which it was banished after the death of Socrates. Suggesting a radical existentialism and a new anarchism, Di Cesare shows that Western philosophy has been characterised by a political vocation ever since its origins in ancient Greece, and argues that the separation of philosophy from its political roots robs it of its most valuable and enlightening potential. But critique and dissent are no longer enough. Mindful of a defeated exile and an inner emigration, philosophers should return to politics and forge an alliance with the poor and the downtrodden. This passionate defence of the political relevance of philosophy and its radical potential in our globalised world will be of great interest to students and scholars of philosophy and to a wide general readership.

Download or read book Political Symbolism in Modern Europe written by Seymour Drescher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By collectively concentrating on the theme of political symbolism in modern Europe, the contributors to this volume have chosen to honor a revered teacher and colleague by developing a set of variations on one of his primary scholarly concerns. The essays deal with familiar domains in the history of European culture: religion, science, philosophy, theater, popular culture, and social ideologies. They attempt to focus on their individual subjects as studies of the ways in which the terms of cultural discourse have been shaped and elaborated by social position and the inherently political nature of such discourse. The essays also trace attempts to capture assent or compliance to particular world views which have had profound cultural and political consequences. Many es-says deal with the vocabularies of strategically located elites con-sciously or unconsciously shap-ing discourse to enhance their role in the Eruopean social hierar-chy. Others turn to the problem of the dynamics of symbolic recep-tion and reception by popular au-diences. A third group of thematic essays deals with case studies of world views dominated by political metaphors of group identityand differentiation which became dominant in Western Europe to-ward the end of the nineteenth century—class, nation, sex, age, and race. The essays in the volume deal with: George Mosse and political symbolism; the medical model of cultural crisis in fin de siecle France; cultural uses of "fatigue" in the nineteenth century; Mar-burg neo-Kantian thought and German popular culture; the Ostjude as a cultural symbol in German anti-Semitism; the func-tion of myth and symbol in Georges Sorel; feminism and eugenics in Edwardian England; Darwinism and the working class in Germany; science and religion in early modern Europe; popular theater and socialism in fin de siecle France; political symbolism in the paintings of the German war of liberation; generational discourse in pre-World War I France; and cultural implications of national-socialist religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his final collection of essays, Father Schall explores the life of faith across a dazzling array of subjects, from Martin Luther to bioethics. With his characteristic patience, brilliance, and careful tenacity, Father Schall interrogates profoundly what it means to try to be a citizen of the Kingdom of God in the city of Man. Never shying away from controversy, across 14 articles and 4 book reviews Father Schall investigates the critical themes of his life and scholarship: reason and revelation; the nature of modernity; literature and salvation; metaphysics and politics; and much more. Whether the reader is new to Father Schall or a longtime student, this posthumously-published collection of essays offers a profound meditation on the nature of political philosophy, and particularly what it would mean for Catholicism to offer a political philosophy. From such fundamental considerations, Schall explores ethical, literary and legal themes, displaying his typical breadth and depth of engagement with all that is real. Ultimately, Father Schall leads one on a Socratic enterprise, an education whereby one comes to question for oneself basic assumptions, and to dig deeper into the first principles as they are recalled in the orders of knowledge and being. While Father Schall has passed on to his reward, this collection of essays helps ensure that his lessons continue to guide, challenge and enrich students for generations to come.
