Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Progress in Contemporary Europe IN this little volume an attempt has been made to gather up and to explain with succinctness those aspects of Euro pean social development since the later eighteenth century which by common acceptation seem to possess enduring sig nificance. The subject is as limitless as it is inviting, and in the present survey of it many things of substantial impor tance have, of necessity, been passed with the barest allusion, or, at the most, with an exposition which is not more than introductory. Not a few topics of interest, I am well aware, have failed so much as to be mentioned. Effort has been made, however, to lay emphasis upon fundamentals and to make clear at least some of the principal developments by which, within the past hundred and twenty-five years, the state of European society has been made what it now is. The reader who may desire to pursue further any of the sub jects here touched upon is referred to a selected bibliography which appears at the close. In the chapters which are con cerned with the growth of popular political institutions I have utilized a number of passages from a forthcoming volume entitled le Governments of Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Student's Manual of Modern History: Containing the Rise and Progress of the Principal European Nations, Their Political History, and the Changes in Their Social Condition IN this the sixth edition the Supplementary Chapter has been considerably enlarged, so as to bring down the History to the Treaty of Peace signed at Paris, March 30, 1856; the Chronological Tables first introduced into the fifth edition have been retained. On the other hand, that the volume might not become inconveniently bulky, it was thought desirable to make some retrenchments of the less essential matter in the earlier chapters, and in those on the Papal power, the Inquisition, and the Colonies.

Book Synopsis An Introduction to the History of Modern Europe (Classic Reprint) by : Archibald Weir
Download or read book An Introduction to the History of Modern Europe (Classic Reprint) written by Archibald Weir and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the History of Modern Europe Napoleonic period so far as is required to range in their places the most notable results of the Revolutionary movement. Two more chapters consider the changes in Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia, Scandinavia, Turkey, Servia, and Greece, from which the modern history of these countries takes its departure. The seventh Chapter describes the industrial revolution in England, which operated more than any other order of causes to change the conditions of political, social, and individual life throughout civilized communities. The eighth supple ments this account of modern industrialism by indicating in outline the mechanical progress to which the industrial revolution was mainly due, and by reviewing briefly the formation of the theory Of political economy, which was to assist in the development Of industrialism. The ninth chapter shows how inductive research attained to a success, which, without intermission, has led physical science to its present state of influence and power. The same chapter supplements the intellectual side Of this account by pointing out how the deeper problems of existence received a new statement in Germany, which, with the tendencies Of British thought, has governed speculation till our own day. In Germany, too, closely connected with the national regeneration, and rich in humanizing elements, occurred a literary revival which is the subject Of Chapter X. In England, also, literature entered on a new development, which enabled it to respond to the needs Of an expanded society, and to contribute to European culture. This subject is reviewed in Chapter XL; but the literary innovations in France, and some even in Germany, which fall within the chronological limits covered by the above events, are so manifestly characteristic Of the time Of reaction that it would have exceeded the purpose of this volume to have included them in the same survey. A concluding chapter briefly comments on the results of the foregoing reviews, and demonstrates that the his torical problem Of our time far transcends the scope of the dictum that history is past politics and that politics are present history. The dominant order of changes is now, indeed, industrial. It is the striving of men to Obtain wealth and material comfort that in this age mainly determines the form and Objects of their political organization. It is this which sets the aims Of their self culture and the ideals Of their scientific research. What in past times was determined by reverence for God, the state, and the family, or by fear Of present or future punishment, is now for the most part controlled by the principles of co-operative production and distribution. We have, indeed, the ideas of religion for religion's sake, of art for art's sake, of self for self's sake, of culture for culture's sake. But only in a secondary manner do the ideas Of social perfection and individual development, of speculative truth and positive belief, influence now the policy which proximate utility dictates. Yet the period bears no resemblance to those moments of history when ease and luxury have been the guiding ends of a ruling few. The principle Of comfort and Opportunity for all has yet to be exhibited in its full meaning; but it is as clearly Of quite peculiar character as its realization is evidently the function of our age.

Book Synopsis History of the Intellectual Development of Europe, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint) by : John William Draper
Download or read book History of the Intellectual Development of Europe, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint) written by John William Draper and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Intellectual Development of Europe, Vol. 1 of 2 AT the meeting of the British Association for the Advance ment of Science, held at Oxford in 1860, I read an abstract of the physiological argument contained in this work respecting the mental progress of Europe, reserving the historical evidence for subsequent publication. This work contains that evidence. It is intended as the completion of my treatise on Human Physiology, in which man was considered as an individual. In this he is considered in his social relation. But the reader will also find, I think, that it is a history of the progress of ideas and opinions from a point of View heretofore almost entirely neglected. There are two methods of dealing with philosophical questions - the literary and' the scientific. Many things which in a purely literary treatment of the subject remain in the background, spontaneously assume a more striking position when their scientific relations are considered. It is the latter method that I have used. Social advancement is as completely under the control of natural law as is bodily growth. The life of an individual is a miniature of the life of a nation. These propositions it is the special object of this book to demonstrate. No one, I believe, has hitherto undertaken the labour of arranging the evidence offered by the intellectual history of Europe in accordance with physiological principles.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Contemporary European Social Theory by : Gerard Delanty
Download or read book Handbook of Contemporary European Social Theory written by Gerard Delanty and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative publication maps out the broad and interdisciplinary field of contemporary European social theory. It covers sociological theory, the wider theoretical traditions in the social sciences including cultural and political theory, anthropological theory, social philosophy and social thought in the broadest sense of the term. This volume surveys the classical heritage, the major national traditions and the fate of social theory in a post-national and post-disciplinary era. It also identifies what is distinctive about European social theory in terms of themes and traditions. It is divided into five parts: disciplinary traditions, national traditions, major schools, key themes and the reception of European social theory in American and Asia. Thirty-five contributors from nineteen countries across Europe, Russia, the Americas and Asian Pacific have been commissioned to utilize the most up-to-date research available to provide a critical, international analysis of their area of expertise. Overall, this is an indispensable book for students, teachers and researchers in sociology, cultural studies, politics, philosophy and human geography and will set the tone for future research in the social sciences.

Book Synopsis Uniting of Europe by : Ernst B. Haas
Download or read book Uniting of Europe written by Ernst B. Haas and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-15 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The University of Notre Dame Press is pleased to bring Ernst Haas's classic work on European integration, The Uniting of Europe, back into print. First published in 1958 and last printed in 1968, this seminal volume is the starting point for anyone interested in the pre-history of the European Union. Haas uses the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) as a case study of the community formation processes that occur across traditional national and state boundaries. Haas points to the ECSC as an example of an organization with the "power to redirect the loyalties and expectations of political actors." In this pathbreaking book Haas contends that, based on his observations of the actual integration process, the idea of a "united Europe" took root in the years immediately following World War II. His careful and rigorous analysis tracks the development of the ECSC, including, in his 1968 preface, a discussion of the eventual loss of the individual identity of the ECSC through its absorption into the new European Community. Featuring a new introduction by Haas analyzing the impact of his book over time, as well as an updated bibliography, The Uniting of Europe is a must-have for political scientists and historians of modern and contemporary Europe. This book is the inaugural volume of Notre Dame's new Contemporary European Politics and Society Series.

Book Synopsis The Legacy of Division by : Ferenc Laczó
Download or read book The Legacy of Division written by Ferenc Laczó and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the legacy of the East–West divide since the implosion of the communist regimes in Europe. The ideals of 1989 have largely been frustrated by the crises and turmoil of the past decade. The liberal consensus was first challenged as early as the mid-2000s. In Eastern Europe, grievances were directed against the prevailing narratives of transition and ever sharper ethnic-racial antipathies surfaced in opposition to a supposedly postnational and multicultural West. In Western Europe, voices regretting the European Union's supposedly careless and premature expansion eastward began to appear on both sides of the left–right and liberal–conservative divides. The possibility of convergence between Europe's two halves has been reconceived as a threat to the European project. In a series of original essays and conversations, thirty-three contributors from the fields of European and global history, politics and culture address questions fundamental to our understanding of Europe today: How have perceptions and misperceptions between the two halves of the continent changed over the last three decades? Can one speak of a new East–West split? If so, what characterizes it and why has it reemerged? The contributions demonstrate a great variety of approaches, perspectives, emphases, and arguments in addressing the daunting dilemma of Europe's assumed East–West divide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Democracy and Social Change In this rapidly changing world the American people, like those of the other democracies, do not yet know which way they are going. They are beginning dimly to realize that the period of stability for capitalist civilization is ended, that they are now caught in the swiftly moving currents produced by the breakup of an historic period. If they are to make headway it is high time for them to get their bearings and chart their course. Otherwise they will get the war they do not want and more of the unemployment they need not have; and these things, as the experience of Europe shows, will destroy the democracy they wish to preserve.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Economic and Social History of the World War: Outline of Plan; European Series War, by accentuating the change in conditions until, from the archival point of view, it became revolutionary, may ultimately lead to as great a revision of stand ards and methods. But this can only come about with the help of archivists themselves; and so far, the manual of archival administration in this series is the only one in existence which deals in any thorough way with the subject. And it is prepared especially for those students who come to London to study in the archives there. There should be others for other countries; but such an extension of the problem would be outside the limits of the History; and archivists have shown, by their reception of the present volume, that they can adjust its uses to their varying needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Genesis of the Social Conscience: The Relation Between the Establishment of Christianity in Europe and the Social Question I cannot hope to avoid the appearance of one-sided ness. Political and Economic History are passed coolly by. The vast bulk of events is untouched. I Shall seem to make ideas advance to the sound of the trumpet, like the things that happen in one of Dumas' novels. May be - which is worse - I shall appear to be writing a poor fairy story, and calling it philosophy of history. The one-sidedness, however, is conscious and avowed. It can deceive no one but myself, and I trust that even I Shall escape. My excuse is that one Sidedness is worth while. In the hope of proving it, thereby defending myself against that righteous horror of easy generalization which is the best side Of the intellectual life of our day, I venture to give a short syllabus of the main points that I desire to make good.
