党派の徳－18世紀の女性の政治思想における包摂の政治

Historians of political thought interested in partisanship have long privileged the perspective of male canonical thinkers. Scholars have turned to Thucydides and Plato for insights on stasis, Aristotle on civic friendship, Niccolo Machiavelli on tumults, David Hume and Edmund Burke on political parties, and The Federalist on faction. Even political theorists who are primarily concerned with contemporary theories of partisanship often turn to these "usual suspects" to strengthen their otherwise largely non-historical arguments. Yet this narrow focus on canonical men has led scholars to neglect an important if counterintuitive perspective on partisanship which we find in the political thought of eighteenth-century women, for whom partisanship offered an unexpected but essential means to political inclusion. Partisan Virtue focuses on two such women political thinkers from opposite ends of the political spectrum: the Tory conservative and early feminist Mary Astell and the historian and radical republican Catharine Macaulay. Their identity as women and partisans placed them on the margins of politics--neither fully excluded nor included. As women, they were not allowed to hold public office or cast votes. Yet they were nonetheless partisans who belonged to a political group and intervened in the principal debates of their time. This marginal position enabled Astell and Macaulay to appreciate both the benefits of partisanship as a mechanism of political inclusion for those formally excluded from politics--a mechanism their male contemporaries ignored--and the dangers of the political virtues these men advocated to bridle partisanship. The book argues that the approach to political ethics that emerges from Astell and Macaulay's works should be of continuing interest to contemporary political theorists. Not only does it speak more satisfactorily to current political concerns about polarisation and echo chambers, but theirs is a far more inclusive kind of partisanship than the one offered by their male contemporaries and present-day scholars. It does not ask of people on the margins to get rid of their anger, indignation, or righteousness, before becoming partisans. Instead, Astell and Macaulay embrace these features, and recognise that partisanship, when done right, is precisely the vehicle for the political inclusion of those on the margins.

Der Jurist und Philosoph Christian Thomasius (1655?1728) ist einer der praegenden Autoren der deutschen Aufklaerung, deren Anfaenge ohne sein Werk kaum denkbar gewesen waeren. Sein Staatsverstaendnis ist gepraegt durch die Konstellation des fuerstlichen Territorialstaates im Alten Reich nach dem Westfaelischen Frieden von 1648 sowie von der anhaltenden Auseinandersetzung ueber das Verhaeltnis von Kirche und Staat. Insofern ist Thomasius’ Staatsverstaendnis von ganz anderen und uns fremden Voraussetzungen gepraegt. Und doch finden sich bei Thomasius ein intellektueller Habitus und ein Selbstverstaendnis der Philosophie, dem ein Wissenschaftsanspruch auf Verifizierbarkeit zugrunde liegt, der auch heute noch als massgeblich gilt.

Montesquieu is among the most important figures in the history of political thought, yet his published writings reveal next to nothing regarding his personal life. This volume provides the first English translations of letters revealing the character, lifestyle, and ambitions of this titled aristocrat, landowner, feudal lord, wine producer, and influential author. The letters chosen include intimate details regarding his marriage, family life, dalliances, and literary ambitions alongside frank assessments of French and European politics, warfare, and religion that would have aroused government censors if made public. We learn how eagerly Montesquieu sought entry into Parisian social circles after publishing his Persian Letters (1721), and we see how greatly he valued friendships with Parisian women whose influence at court could protect writers criticizing the existing order. In sum, the letters translated for this volume provide crucial context for his published work, illuminating how his life experiences shaped his worldview.

Aristotle's Political Philosophy offers a concise and accessible overview of Aristotle's political thought in his Nicomachean Ethics, Politics, and Rhetoric.Aristotle's writings on politics are known for their legendary complexity and contradictions. In Aristotle's Political Philosophy, renowned scholar Mark Blitz draws connections between the Nicomachean Ethics, Politics, and Rhetoric to explain how these texts relate and interact with each other. Throughout the book, Blitz examines the foundations of political action, devoting special attention to Aristotle's understanding of virtue, justice, slavery, education, friendship, statesmanship, and speech. In doing so, Blitz clarifies the central ethical and political concepts presented throughout these works to articulate how these texts, together, advance a coherent political philosophy.After offering a comprehensive analysis of Aristotle's political thought, Blitz ultimately argues that Aristotelian philosophy remains fundamental for understanding modern political opinions, practices, and institutions.

A Broader and Deeper Foundation: The Bold Vision of James Wilson's Political Philosophy rediscovers the forgotten political philosophy of American founding father James Wilson, revealing his bold, alternative vision for American politics. Wilson crafted a political philosophy centered on popular sovereignty and based upon Thomas Reid's common-sense realism and moral philosophy. Wilson understood popular sovereignty as possessing both a moral and a political component. "The people" were not solely political actors, but also moral agents and morally responsible. He insisted that each person possessed a telos or purpose to pursue their own moral excellence, which he dubbed "happiness," achieved through political participation (i.e., suffrage) as an integral means of every person's telos. His re-definition of "happiness," which forms a core part of his political philosophy, imbues the modern phrase with a traditional republican meaning. "Happiness" for Wilson functions as America's broader and deeper foundation, serving as the moral telos of popular sovereignty, the foundation of American democracy. His interpretations of happiness and popular sovereignty united America's founding documents, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

This book presents an overview of the concepts of 'politics' and of 'the political' in Hungary since 1526. Through a detailed methodological introduction and eleven case studies, Concepts of Politics in Modern Hungarian Thought examines various approaches taken at different turning points in the history of Hungary. The book surveys the evolution of thought on the subject, from the 16th century, when Hungary was partly under Ottoman, and partly under Habsburg rule, through the period of the dualist Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, after the Austro-Hungarian Settlement of 1867, up to the period of the Communist regime of the second half of the 20th century. Bringing together perspectives from intellectual historians, legal scholars, political philosophers and even historians of economic thought, this volume provides insights both into the political ideas of important but lesser-known Hungarian authors, and into the nature of the challenges the political community had to cope with. It deepens understanding of what was meant by the concept of 'the political' in different periods whilst providing a clearer picture of the shifts and continuities in Hungarian political thought and culture over the last five centuries.

Machiavelli, Aristotle, and Popular Republicanism offers the first comprehensive study of the relationship between Machiavelli, Aristotle, and the Aristotelian tradition. Alessandro Mulieri shows that the conceptual language of Aristotelianism not only shaped some of Machiavelli's most radical ideas but also played a key role in the development of his popular republican thought and his critique of classical republicanism.Employing an interdisciplinary approach that blends the history of political thought, political theory, and the history of philosophy, the book presents an original interpretation of Machiavelli's engagement with five Aristotelian themes: the nature of political science, the relationship between virtue and fortune, the preservation of tyranny, the premodern notion of democracy as "the rule of the poor", and the prudence of the multitude.By analysing a wide range of Latin and vernacular Aristotelian texts circulating in Machiavelli's time, alongside works by several Renaissance thinkers, the book addresses longstanding challenges in interpreting Machiavelli's relationship with ancient, medieval, and early modern sources, revealing the selective and profoundly strategic nature of his engagement with the premodern tradition.

The central ideas of Isaiah Berlin (1909-1997) remain as alive for our century as they did for his, and his enduring importance as a thinker is matched by his reputation as an essayist of the first rank. This in-depth exploration of a selection of Berlin's most important essays, discussed by a variety of distinguished contributors, offers a scholarly and engaging appraisal of Berlin's most salient philosophical, historical and political preoccupations while relating them to the broad and persistent questions of philosophy, history, politics and culture. Each of the contributors examines Berlin's understanding of humanity through one of his essays, including 'The Hedgehog and the Fox', 'Two Concepts of Liberty', and 'Winston Churchill in 1940', together with less famous ones such as 'The Divorce between the Sciences and the Humanities' and 'The Purpose of Philosophy'. The result is a fresh, penetrating portrait of a major scholar and public intellectual.

Russia’s attack on Ukraine in 2022 was called a watershed in postwar European history. The West sees Putin’s Russia on the way to restoring the former Soviet Union. But Putin’s increasingly aggressive stance was also a reaction to Western politics. The real possibility of a new security and peace order in Europe opening in the 1990s was not pursued. Instead, NATO was enlarged to the east. Now, a massive arms build-up is on the way. Using historical sources, international news media, representative surveys, and personal interviews with people in Ukraine, Max Haller shows that this war has not been predetermined and ? following Kant ? peace initiatives are possible even now. In these, the European Union should assume a leading role.

This book describes, evaluates and compares the ideas of conflict, friendship and enmity in the thought of Friedrich Nietzsche and Carl Schmitt.What can we learn from Nietzsche's and Schmitt's ideas of friendship and enmity in the light of the dangerous challenges facing Western democracies today? Nietzsche and Schmitt are undoubtedly among the most influential Continental thinkers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and their influence extends far beyond their own time. Schmitt's thinking has been particularly influential in the field of constitutional law and jurisprudence, and it still resounds today in debates about popular sovereignty and the rule of law. This book analyses the ambiguous character of both Nietzsche's agonal and Schmitt's political thinking, in order to consider its implications for current debates about law and politics, and to strengthen liberal democracy. Ultimately, the book thinks with Nietzsche against Schmitt to transform political into agonal conflict, friendship and enmity. This can be achieved, it argues, by channelling hostile passions, through the cultivation of mutual respect between legitimate opponents, into the legal and social discourses, practices and institutions of a liberal democratic rule-of-law state.This book will appeal to scholars working in the areas of legal and political theory, as well as those with relevant interests in continental philosophy.

プラトンとアリストテレスにおける政治的統一

Plato and Aristotle both think that for humans to live full and flourishing lives, we must live together in political communities. They are therefore interested in their various ways in which the people in any given political community relate to one another, how they respond to or value one another, and how they conceive of their good in relation to their fellow citizens. Plato and Aristotle think that instilling and maintaining the correct beliefs and attitudes (such as 'solidarity', 'like-mindedness', and 'friendship') among the citizens is the most important mechanism to ensure that the city is 'one' and resistant to internal strife, factionalism, and perhaps the eventual dissolution of the community. This study is an investigation of the various ways in which Plato and Aristotle approach the question of political unity, how their views differ from and are alike one another, and the ways in which their views matter for continuing discussions. James Warren investigates their arguments for what kinds of relationships are important and how citizens should relate to and think about one another, work together, and feel as part of a single unified political community.

Inspired by the humanist and Catholic martyr Thomas More, David Albertson and Jason Blakely imagine a new politics of hope In Thomas More's Utopia, a traveler from the New World delivers a shocking message: on a lost island beyond the horizon, people live far better lives than in Europe. A leading intellectual of his day, More was murdered by Henry VIII in 1535 for refusing to sign a loyalty oath, but his utopian vision inspired some of the most consequential movements in the modern world. In their provocative manifesto, David Albertson and Jason Blakely retrieve More's insights and apply them to our moment. Amid the decline of liberalism and the rise of authoritarianism, Albertson and Blakely resist the dystopian fears taking root in the twenty-first century. Utopian politics, they argue, can help us break free of today's entrenched polarities and recast what is possible. They return to the "virtuoso dreamers," ranging from Plato and Saint Augustine to Dorothy Day and Martin Luther King, Jr., who faced dire circumstances yet were buoyed by indestructible hopes. Channeling More's spirit of experimentation, creativity, and levity, their utopianism is invested in making new worlds-the most serious kind of play. Social reality, they remind us, has an irreducible imaginative component. Inviting us to dream more boldly, this book offers a radical alternative to the ecological, political, and spiritual crises that plague our world.

A renowned scholar traces the evolution of modern political philosophy.The Rise and Fall of Rational Control is a bold interpretation of centuries of intellectual revolutions. Based on Harvey C. Mansfield's legendary Harvard course, taught for decades to rapt classrooms, this volume is both a grand work of ideas and an elucidating reflection on liberalism, its eclipse, and the possibility of renewal.Mansfield locates the birth of modern political philosophy in the work of Niccolo Machiavelli, the first to assert that the objective of politics is not to achieve wishful ideals of justice or virtue-as the ancients had it-but to manipulate the brute facts of the world in service of interests. Here rational control, free from the order of gods or God, is the key to achieving the modern order, which can liberate humans from slavery and conflict. Hobbes and Locke later develop Machiavelli's modern idea, laying foundations for liberalism. Then comes the first crisis in the form of Rousseau, who introduces historical change into the very idea of reason, which itself is said to evolve. After Rousseau, history takes center stage, as witnessed in Kant, Marx, and Hegel. The second crisis of modernity arrives with Nietzsche, who casts doubt on reason itself. Ever since, political thought has been stranded in the desert of postmodernism, where Machiavelli's necessities are replaced by faded subjectivity.Tracing the rise and fall of rational control, Mansfield asks where we go from here. Can we progress beyond our unease with what is modern, or should we aim to return somehow to what came before?

This fascinating book explores Nobel Prize winner Friedrich August von Hayek's lasting influence on economics and social thought. Expert authors reflect on his contributions and apply them to various challenges in contemporary society.By tracing the evolution of Hayek's achievements, this book also explores lesser known aspects of his work such as the impact of religion, his critique of the welfare state and his unique interpretation of David Hume. Chapters highlight the modern relevance of these considerations, engaging with current debates not only within Austrian economics but also within other social sciences, including political philosophy, law and psychology. Drawing on Hayek's intellectual connections and modes of analysis, contributors examine key themes of entrepreneurship, monetary theory, macroeconomics and the role of institutions, as well as his critical analyses on socialism and classical liberalism.Providing comprehensive coverage of Hayek's intellectual influence, this book is highly relevant to scholars and students of social philosophy, economics and the history of ideas, particularly those interested in the Austrian school of economics.

Throughout the nineteenth century, Spanish American writers and thinkers grappled with their unique circumstances of independence after three centuries of Spanish colonial rule. The emergence of a significant number of new polities that adopted representative institutions in an era when absolutism prevailed in Western Europe, their general adoption of republicanism, and their complex demographic composition, all posed serious challenges for the formation of national states in Spanish America. This volume explores how politically engaged Spanish American thinkers reflected on these issues, either in government or in opposition. Through a wide selection of texts, some previously unpublished in the English language, the volume demonstrates the multiplicity of voices across countries, perspectives and social background. The texts included are organised around main themes reflecting central concerns including history; democracy, constitutionalism and liberty; church and state; society; Spanish America and the World; and 'Fin de siecle'. This volume thus vividly demonstrates the significance of Latin America to the field of Global Intellectual History.

What if everything you thought you knew about socialism was wrong? Socialism: the 100-Year-Old Misnomer invites you to rethink a century of political and cultural myth-making. Dana Neacsu distinguishes real socialism-rooted in democracy and wealth redistribution-from its authoritarian counterfeit: Soviet-style state capitalism. Drawing on political theory, political economy, law, and culture, and using layered textual analysis, Neacsu exposes how language, ideology, and legal systems conspired to mislabel repression as revolution. Featuring rare visuals and sharp close readings, this book equips you to separate fact from fiction and rethink what justice, ownership, and power could truly mean.

The Early German Romantics elaborated a highly original philosophical-political framework where subjectivity is not construed as essentially the property of an isolated individual having control over other people and over nature. Rather, each subject can exist and flourish only within a web of harmonious relations of mutual dependency which connects it with history, with other people, and with the natural world. The implications of such a conception for our notion of individual and collective autonomy and for political life are radical. This book explains and analyses this novel way of thinking, places it in its historical context, and brings out some of the major consequences it has for our social life, and in particular for a number of issues of special contemporary relevance such as gender and ecology.

An incisive conceptual history of global democracy in the transnational political thought of W.E.B. Du Bois.The Search for World Democracy traces the language of "world democracy" in W. E. B. Du Bois's oeuvre, stretching from his early sociological writings to his later work on world peace and anticolonialism with and against the United Nations. Drawing on original archival research, several lesser-known writings, and most centrally Du Bois's unpublished 1937 manuscript A World Search for Democracy, Adam Dahl places his unique approach to democratic theory within the transatlantic debates about the transformation of European imperial order in the twentieth century. Dahl shows how Du Bois's vision of the spatial scale of democracy situated struggles for popular control, decolonization, industrial democracy, and racial enfranchisement in their shifting, multidimensional geographic contexts. Less a specific model of global governance than a radical politics of space and scale, Du Bois's idea of world democracy challenges the boundaries between domestic and international politics by linking local sites of democratic struggle within and against the global color line. The Search for World Democracy shows how, for Du Bois, the radical transformation of the United States into a multiracial democracy would require an equally dramatic transformation of the imperial lineages of world politics.

By reconstruing Protagoras the sophist, Thucydides the historian, and Democritus the cosmologist in the context of political developments and contemporary scientific, literary, and philosophical works, Cynthia Farrar's seminal study reveals the emergence of a distinctive and still cogent understanding of democratic order. All three thinkers wrestled with democracy's insistence on separating political from social identity and status. Unlike Plato and Aristotle, they constructed democratic theories that were genuinely democratic: addressed to citizens, and inviting them to interpret what their own and collective well-being demands in the world as it is. In a new introduction, Farrar makes the case for the continued relevance of the ideas explored in this book by recounting her own attempts to adapt Athenian structures of democratic citizenship and to reinterpret their democratic theory for the modern world.

An entertaining introduction to ancient Chinese thinkers-and what they can teach us about today's most pressing political questions in China and beyondChina's most original, diverse, and fascinating political debates took place more than two millennia ago, but they have profoundly shaped Chinese political thinking and practice ever since and, remarkably, their influence on the country's leaders is only growing today. Yet these timeless debates-which are very likely to influence the answers to such questions as whether China should use military force to take control of Taiwan-are still far too little understood in the West. In this enlightening and entertaining book, Daniel Bell, a leading expert on Chinese political thought, takes the greatest thinkers from China's past-Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi, Shang Yang, Han Feizi, Zhuangzi, and Mozi-and puts them in dialogue with each other in modern settings. The result is a creative and engaging introduction to ancient Chinese political thought that reveals its relevance to the future of China and the rest of the world.Before China's unification in 221 BCE, the brilliant political thinkers who founded Confucianism, Daoism, Legalism, and Mohism roamed from state to state, argued with each other, and tried to persuade rulers to follow their ideas. Bell draws on their debates-about such perennial issues as war, corruption, government involvement in family life, and whether the state should subsidize culture-to create vivid imaginative dialogues about important contemporary social and political controversies.China's political thinking is rooted in its past. Understanding what ancient Chinese political thought can teach us about today's critical debates is essential to understanding the future of China and the world.

自由と階級の間－M.ヴェーバーの社会政治
Ghosh, Peter, Between Freedom and Hierarchy: Max Weber's Social Politics. 256 pp. 2026:6 (Oxford U. Pr., UK) <758-537>

In his later life, Max Weber's work focused on ideas about rule and hierarchy encapsulated in the German word Herrschaft. These ideas are unique in the canon of Western political theory in that they derive almost exclusively from social categories (agency, power, hierarchy), rather than more conventional political ones (constitutions, democracy). This produces a picture of 'political' life which is self-evident to us today, yet it is theoretically novel. Weber was passionately committed to the idea of human agency: that all people contained within them the potential for ordering their lives in ways they found meaningful. But he also accepted the presence of powerful external constraints on agency, created by the exercise of agency itself--the unequal outcomes of free competition--or impersonal forces, such as technology and bureaucracy. So free societies and polities revolve around two opposite poles: freedom and hierarchy. Weber developed these ideas in parallel with what he now began to call his 'sociology'. The foundations of his thought go back to 1904-5, but engagement with political theory made him reflect more carefully on what one could say about social life in general, and how much this differed from conditions specific to politics or any other life-sphere. He evolved an original, 'federal' model of sociology: a small general core set alongside much larger special sociologies on (for example) politics, religion, law, the economy. This is unique amongst the classical sociologists. In this way, the book covers the major novelties of Weber's final decade and presents the first comprehensive historical portrait of Weber's political ideas. Weber has an immense variety of modern readers and users, but the perspective of the historian with no other commitment than to what he himself thought, is the nearest that we can come to a detached or neutral view of him.

Rasch, Uwe, Aldous Huxley and the Enemies of Freedom. (Global Political Thinkers) 349 pp. 2025:12 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <758-538>

This is the first book to cover the evolution and scope of Aldous Huxley's socio-political ideas in a concise and highly accessible manner, both for political theorists and interested students from various disciplines. From his social journalism in the early 1930s, through his notoriously famous novel Brave New World, his involvement with the Peace Pledge Union in the mid-30s, his pivotal socio-anthropological study Ends and Means in 1937, his post-war essays, the black dystopia Ape and Essence, his involvement with Eastern philosophy and Krishnamurti, his lecture circuits in the 1950s (Santa Barbara, MIT, etc.) to his final novel, Island (1962), the counter-piece to Brave New World, the author explores how Huxley investigates the benefits and risks of democracy, anarchism, decentralisation, forms of authoritarianism, human engineering (education), the ideological pitfalls of the grand narratives of the early 20th century, as well as the anthropological dimensions underpinning social ideals and their means of realisation.

アイルランド政治思想と合同－代議制のビジョン　1798～1879年

Moving beyond binary nationalist and unionist narratives of nineteenth-century Irish history, this study instead explores political thought through ideological battles over government. Drawing on neglected pamphlets, political tracts and polemic newspapers, Colin Reid reveals how Irish protagonists - unionists and anti-unionists, Catholic Emancipationists, Repealers, Tories, Fenians, and federalists - clashed over the meaning of representation, sovereignty and the British connection. Reid traces how competing constitutional visions, rather than national allegiances, drove Ireland's political evolution. From the bitter Union debates to the birth of Home Rule, it recovers forgotten arguments about parliamentary reform, the 'Irish question' in imperial context and the fraught experience of a small nation within a multinational polity. With fresh insights into figures such as Daniel O'Connell, Isaac Butt and lesser-known polemicists, this study redefines Irish political thought as a dynamic struggle for representative government.

A comprehensive scholarly edition of the writings and correspondence of Thomas PaineThomas Paine: Collected Writings is the first major new edition of Paine's works, bringing together all his writings in six breathtaking volumes that dramatically revise our previous understanding of his activities as a writer and his importance as a democratic theorist in the age of revolutions. It includes about 180 new letters and some two hundred works newly attributed to Paine, with twenty-nine works previously regarded as Paine's being deattributed. Drawing on pioneering computerized text analysis that makes possible for the first time attributions of anonymous and pseudonymous texts, this collection includes in volumes 5-6 newly identified pamphlets and newspaper and journal contributions, and suggests that Paine was extremely active as a Grub Street oppositional Whig writer in the decade prior to the American Revolution. Many writings from the period of his residence in France (1792-1802) and his subsequent return to the United States are also restored to his published output. Paine emerges as a much more consistent and serious democratic theorist than is often assumed, whose contribution to revolutionary debates in America, Britain, and France were unparalleled in its time.The supplementary writings in this volume span the years 1758 to 1772, a formative period in which Paine honed his voice as a Grub Street writer and close confederate of Benjamin Franklin. Writing pseudonymously in journals and newspapers, he developed the narrative and ideological traits that would form the basis for his later social and political thought. Commentary by the editors provides invaluable historical context.

ヘーゲルの歴史・政治学・哲学論

This collection reviews Hegel in relation to the key themes of history, politics and philosophy. It shows how Hegel is a historical thinker, whose theories aredeveloped via a philosophical consideration of historical development at a number of levels. Hegel's expertise in the history of philosophy leads him torecognize the distinctiveness of the present, while building upon philosophical predecessors. This perspective sheds light on Hegel's distinctive reading of thepolitical, which is both insightful and timely. Hegel's reading of political economy emerges out of his conception of modernity and remains relevant to contemporary conceptions of civil society. Likewise Hegel's focus upon the international remains of great moment in that he shows the interplay between internal and external forms of sovereignty. Hegel's global perspective on international politics remains of relevance today and it bears upon his understanding of internal state sovereignty and history. This volume ends with a synoptic reading of Hegel today, which reviews him critically in the light of his problematic reading of race, sex and Eurocentrism. The essays in this volume reflect Gary Browning's engagement with Hegel over a number of years, and, collectively, they show how Hegel's political theory is linked to his reading of history and philosophy, and they make a case for the continued relevance of Hegel's political and international theory.

Ideal societies, better worlds, more just and peaceful ways of living: these have long been the stuff of human beings' social dreaming. In this compact volume, two leading scholars from different disciplines join to consider the life of utopian imagining within the frame of literature and politics. Duncan Bell, a political scientist and intellectual historian, opens the book with a critical overview of the Anglophone utopian tradition and a fresh definition of utopia. He then shows how the threat of technological annihilation, and the promise of transcendence of human limitations, has shaped utopian and dystopian writing of the last hundred years. Douglas Mao, a scholar of literature, begins the second part of the book by delving into utopian literature's vexed relation to sentimental feeling, especially as this is signalled by speculation on how inhabitants of utopia themselves would read literary works. He then shows how utopian writing's orientation to problem-solving puts it into surprising relation with both politics and literature in general. An interview in which the two authors compare their methods and conclusions closes out the book.

Terminologisch an die Tradition anknuepfend, die in Georg Jellineks Klassiker kulminiert, entzieht Kelsen der Allgemeinen Staatslehre herkoemmlicher Art den methodologischen Boden. In der Sache markiert seine auf dem Zenit seines Wiener Wirkens verfasste "Allgemeine Staatslehre" die erste Gesamtdarstellung der Reinen Rechtslehre, also gleichsam die "Nullte Auflage" der "Reinen Rechtslehre", die bereits alle wesentlichen Kennzeichen der 1934 publizierten Erstauflage traegt wie namentlich die Entgegensetzung von (nomo)statischer und (nomo)dynamischer Betrachtung, die Einheit von Staat und Rechtsordnung, die Dekonstruktion der als rechtswesenhaft gedachten Dichotomie von OEffentlichem Recht und Privatrecht oder die Lehre von dem in der Grundnorm gipfelnden Rechtserzeugungszusammenhang.

Abul A'la Maududi (1903-1979) was arguably one of the most influential and controversial thinkers of the twentieth century, and a foundational Islamist thinker. This volume brings together a broad range of his important works for the first time, covering concerns such as anticolonialism, permissibility of violence, capitalism and gender roles, principles for an Islamic economy, innovation in legal frameworks as well as the limits of nationalist politics. Showcasing his writings across different genres, this volume includes influential early works such as his seminal Al Jihad fil Islam, Quranic exegesis and essays as well as later works on Islamic law. An extensive introduction situates Maududi's ideas within global anticolonial conversations as well as Islamic and South Asian debates on urgent contemporary political questions and highlights the conceptual innovations he carried out. Fresh translations allow readers to critically engage with Maududi's writings, capturing nuances and shifts in his ideas with greater clarity.

Huey P. Newton has always been something of an intellectual enigma. Famous for co-founding the Black Panther Party in 1966 in Oakland, California, as a revolutionary leader he undertook armed resistance against the racist state. His role as a political theorist, however, remains underexplored. Today, revolutionary theories of the Black Power movement are being reappraised by a new generation of scholars. Here, John Narayan reclaims Newton's place as one of the most neglected neo-Marxists of the twentieth century. By exploring Newton's unpublished archives, Narayan shows how he linked the oppression of Black Americans with the logic and machinations of a newly formed, US-enforced, global capitalist empire, long before others did, providing powerful insights into the nature of anti-racism and anti-imperialism which resonate deeply in today's age of capitalist crisis.

Anger is everywhere today. Why is there so much anger in our politics? Why do some things feed unreasonable rage, and other outrageous things fail to provoke outrage? What should we be angry about and how? Some see anger as a toxic force endangering political debate, democracy, and civil society; others see anger as a the only proper motivation to pursue injustice. In this debate, Hertzoff offers considerations grounded in Aristotle's treatment of anger. When, why, and in what ways we become angry need to be judged against a standard of virtuous anger, measured against concepts of justice, dignity, and nobility. In bringing together Aristotle's concept and treatment with our concerns with anger in our society gives us reason to rethink our views of anger, how we learn to be angry, and how we teach children to be angry properly .

Newly published for the first time in English translation, Carl Schmitt's 1934 tract, State Composition and Collapse of the Second Reich: The Victory of the Bourgeois Citizen over the Soldier, is an important addition to the corpus of Schmitt's work in English. Written and published at the height of Carl Schmitt's entanglement with National Socialism, this work outlines Schmitt's historical and propagandistic account of the collapse of the Second German Empire and of Germany's defeat in the First World War and sets the stage for his account of what should come next. In this swiftly paced polemical history, Schmitt locates the roots of Germany's defeat in the First World War in constitutional compromises between the Prussian soldier state and the liberal bourgeois citizenry forged in the course of the nineteenth century. These compromises left unresolved the tension between liberal constitutionalism and an executive-led strong state built on military power, preventing the Reich from being able to mobilize German society in order to wage a successful war effort. Schmitt's account of how the Bismarckian Reich was undermined from within serves as a guide, in his view, for how the Nazi regime should avoid a similar fate. A work of crisply riveting and, at times, haunting prose, Schmitt's State Composition and Collapse of the Second Reich will be a source of persistent historical interest to all students of history, politics, Nazism, political thought and the First and Second World Wars.

This book offers a new perspective on the emergence of concepts that shaped the world, set against the dramatic background of political upheaval and crisis of scientific knowledge that characterized interwar Germany and Austria. On the one hand, the political-theoretical certainties of previous generations were rendered suddenly obsolete by the imperatives of total war. On the other hand, the old certainties of a reductive and deterministic conception of scientific knowledge had likewise been destabilized, in this case by the revolutionary discoveries of Relativity Theory and Quantum Mechanics. Among the philosophically literate intelligentsia of interwar Germany and Austria, the juxtaposition of such radical epistemic and political insecurity created fertile ground for the cross-pollination of ideas across disciplines. Using a network-oriented approach, this book traces key lines of influence, following the development, dissemination, and reinterpretation of concepts from domains of political thought to epistemology and back again. It is of interest and importance to a broad range of readers interested in learning how the ideas of physicist-philosophers like Albert Einstein and Werner Heisenberg shaped the paradigms within which major theorists like Walter Benjamin and Carl Schmitt opened up new horizons for political thought.

This book focuses on the geographical and geopolitical sources for Carl Schmitt's multilayered political thinking in order to uncover the relation between the political and the geographical aspects of his concept of space from 1939 to 1950. The aim is therefore to open up a field of enquiry, specifically to investigate Schmitt's sources in the geographical and geopolitical literature inside and outside Germany in order to reconstruct the genealogy of his idea of space, territory and international order. In doing so, the contributors aim both to distinguish concepts that have generally been only vaguely defined in the literature on Schmitt, namely his idea of space, political territory and land, and to define more precisely the relationship between Schmitt's Grossraum and the National Socialist Lebensraum.This book refers to, complements and goes beyond three different approaches - International Relations, geography and philology: First, in that it explores the genealogy of Schmitt's concept of space by adopting a twofold methodology of intellectual history and philology; second, in that it considers the relevance of language in Schmitt's discourse on power and space; third, in that it relates Schmitt's thinking to the transnational literature on geopolitics and political geography.Geo - Political Spaces will appeal to academics and the well-informed public at large. It is also suitable for academic teaching, especially when it comes to historical theory, the concept of space or the history of political thought.

Covering the entire European system and its relations with the East and America, this first global history of tolerance in early modern Europe describes how the ideal of tolerance and its realisation transformed both the religious and political life of the modern world.In the 16th century, Christianity was split apart by the Lutheran revolt, a fracture which would become a political one. Erasmus, Castellio, and the Socinians defended the freedom of conscience and of faith, and the right to belong to a heretical church. The violent political clashes in France, Holland, and Great Britain seemed to make the latter impossible, as the relationship between religion and politics was at the centre of those conflicts. The theory of a new politics was devised by Hobbes and developed by Spinoza and Locke: Sovereignty was not to be religious but secular, and tolerance would become civil liberty. A Cultural History of Tolerance shows how political power and religious doctrine together shaped both persecution and emerging ideas of tolerance, laying the groundwork for later debates.This book is intended for professors, academic researchers, students, and general readers interested in early modern Europe, political ideas, and the history of religion.
