Political Ethics and Public Office
ISBN: 9780674686069 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Are public officials morally justified in threatening violence, engaging in deception, or forcing citizens to act for their own good? Can individual officials be held morally accountable for the wrongs that governments commit? Dennis Thompson addresses these questions by developing a conception of political ethics that respects the demands of both morality and politics. He criticizes conventional conceptions for failing to appreciate the difference democracy makes, and for ascribing responsibility only to isolated leaders or to impersonal organizations. His book seeks to recapture the... Are public officials morally justified in threatening violence, engaging in deception, or forcing citizens to act for their own good? Can individua... |

Ethics in Congress: From Individual to Institutional Corruption
ISBN: 9780815784234 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 267 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. More members of Congress have been investigated and sanctioned for ethical misconduct in the past decade and a half than in the entire previous history of the institution. But individual members are probably less corrupt than they once were. Stricter ethics codes and closer scrutiny by the press and public have imposed standards no previous representatives have had to face. Dennis Thompson shows how the institution itself is posing new ethical challenges, how the complexity of the environment in which members work creates new occasions for corruption and invites more calls for...

ISBN: 9780521547222 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 349 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Dennis Thompson argues for a more robust conception of responsibility in public life than prevails in contemporary democracies. Thompson suggests that we stop thinking about public ethics in terms of individual vices (such as selfishness or sexual misconduct) and start thinking about it in terms of institutional vices (such as abuse of power and lack of accountability).

Just Elections: Creating a Fair Electoral Process in the United States
ISBN: 9780226797649 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The 2000 election showed that the mechanics of voting such as ballot design, can make a critical difference in the accuracy and fairness of our elections. But as Dennis F. Thompson shows, even more fundamental issues must be addressed to insure that our electoral system is just.
Thompson argues that three central democratic principles-equal respect, free choice, and popular sovereignty-underlie our electoral institutions, and should inform any assessment of the justice of elections. Although we may all endorse these principles in theory, Thompson shows that in practice we disagree about...

This 1970 study examines the implications of empirical studies in the social sciences with reference to various strands of American and British democratic theory. In presenting his case Professor Thompson provides an extremely valuable critical synthesis of a very large body of theoretical and empirical literature in this field.

John Stuart Mill and Representative Government
ISBN: 9780691637556 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Although Mill regarded Considerations on Representative Government as a mature statement of his theory of democracy, critics have tended to treat it less seriously than most of his other major works. Dennis Thompson argues that this neglect has led to inadequate interpretations of Mill's thought on democracy. Drawing where appropriate on other writings by Mill, the author restores a balanced view by studying the structure of the theory expounded in Representative Government. Representative Government is shown to be more coherent and systematic than has generally...

Why Deliberative Democracy?
ISBN: 9780691120195 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The most widely debated conception of democracy in recent years is deliberative democracy--the idea that citizens or their representatives owe each other mutually acceptable reasons for the laws they enact. Two prominent voices in the ongoing discussion are Amy Gutmann and Dennis Thompson. In Why Deliberative Democracy?, they move the debate forward beyond their influential book, Democracy and Disagreement. What exactly is deliberative democracy? Why is it more defensible than its rivals? By offering clear answers to these timely questions, Gutmann and Thompson...

Democracy and Disagreement
ISBN: 9780674197664 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The din and deadlock of public life in America--where insults are traded, slogans proclaimed, and self-serving deals made and unmade--reveal the deep disagreement that pervades our democracy. The disagreement is not only political but also moral, as citizens and their representatives increasingly take extreme and intransigent positions. A better kind of public discussion is needed, and Amy Gutmann and Dennis Thompson provide an eloquent argument for "deliberative democracy" today. They develop a principled framework for opponents to come together on moral and political...

Redeeming American Political Thought
ISBN: 9780226753485 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Noted political philosopher Judith Shklar declined to write a book about American political thought because, she once claimed, "the subject is too hard." She finally took on this formidable task late in her career, but her untimely death left most of the work unpublished. Now "Redeeming American Political Thought" makes these essays, some published here for the first time, available to readers.
In these thirteen essays, Shklar explores two themes crucial to discussions of American democracy: first, what she terms the "fundamental social condition" of American life, the tension between...
