D.A.ベル著　なぜ古代中国の政治思想が重要なのか
Bell, Daniel A., Why Ancient Chinese Political Thought Matters: Four Dialogues on China's Past, Present, and Future. 264 pp. 2026:4 (Princeton U. Pr., US) <758-529>

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
Reid, Colin W., Irish Political Thought and the Union: Visions of Representative Government, 1798-1879. (Ideas in Context) 300 pp. 2026:5 (Cambridge U. Pr., UK) <758-539>

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. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

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.

Often written anonymously or under known or new aliases, these pieces suggest a very different narrative of his activities and development during this period.

ヘーゲルの歴史・政治学・哲学論
Browning, Gary, Hegel on History, Politics and Philosophy. (International Political Theory) 229 pp. 2025:11 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <758-23>

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.
