The American Republic: Primary Sources
ISBN: 9780865973336 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 752 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Many reference works offer compilations of critical documents covering individual liberty, local autonomy, constitutional order, and other issues that helped to shape the American political tradition. Yet few of those works are available in a form suitable for classroom use, and traditional textbooks give short shrift to these important issues. The American Republic overcomes that knowledge gap by providing, in a single volume, critical, original documents revealing the character of American discourse on the nature and importance of local government, the purposes of...

The New Communitarians and the Crisis of Modern Liberalism
ISBN: 9780700607624 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book critiques and challenges the rise of communitarian thought in America. With a skeptical eye, Bruce Frohnen seeks to cut through the communitarians' rhetoric of community, commitment, and spirituality to reveal the egalitarian materialism at the core of their enterprise. Frohnen argues that the "new communitarians"--exemplified by political philosophers Charles Taylor and William Galston, as well as popularizers like Bill Clinton, Amitai Etzioni, Garry Wills, Mario Cuomo, and Robert Bellah--are actually old liberals trying to salvage political legitimacy by advocating allegiance...

Rethinking Rights, 1: Historical, Political, and Philosophical Perspectives
ISBN: 9780826218315 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As reports of genocide, terrorism, and political violence fill today's newscasts, more attention has been given to issues of human rights--but all too often the sound bites seem overly simplistic. Many Westerners presume that non-Western peoples yearn for democratic rights, while liberal values of toleration give way to xenophobia.This book shows that the identification of rights with contemporary liberal democracy is inaccurate and questions the assumptions of many politicians and scholars that rights are self-evident in all circumstances and will overcome any conflicts of thought or...

Virtue and the Promise of Conservatism: The Legacy of Burke and Tocqueville
ISBN: 9780700611065 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Often loud and acrimonious, the public tug-of-war between a reinvigorated conservatism and a liberalism in apparent disarray has obscured an equally important competition-that among conservatives themselves. In Virtue and the Promise of Conservatism, Bruce Frohnen joins the fray in an effort to rescue the essence of conservative virtue from rationalists and materialists of whatever political stripe. He argues that we have "lost and must attempt to regain the conservative good life and the outlook which made it possible." The tools needed to do that, according to Frohnen, are...

Constitutional Morality and the Rise of Quasi-Law
ISBN: 9780674088870 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Americans are increasingly ruled by an unwritten constitution consisting of executive orders, signing statements, and other forms of quasi-law that lack the predictability and consistency essential for the legal system to function properly. As a result, the U.S. Constitution no longer means what it says to the people it is supposed to govern, and the government no longer acts according to the rule of law. These developments can be traced back to a change in "constitutional morality," Bruce Frohnen and George Carey argue in this challenging book. The principle of separation of powers...
