Lincoln's Political Thought
ISBN: 9780674368163 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. One of the most influential philosophers of liberalism turns his attention to the complexity of Lincoln's political thought. At the center of Lincoln's career is an intense passion for equality, a passion that runs so deep in the speeches, messages, and letters that it has the force of religious conviction for Lincoln. George Kateb examines these writings to reveal that this passion explains Lincoln's reverence for both the Constitution and the Union. The abolition of slavery was not originally a tenet of Lincoln's political religion. He affirmed almost to the end of his life that...

ISBN: 9780202361888 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Amid the twentieth century's seemingly overwhelming problems, some thinkers dared to envisage a world order governed by utopian proposals that would eliminate--or at least alleviate--the evils of society and secure positive advantages for all human beings. Others found this utopian optimism a hopeless fantasy and predicted a utopian order only repressiveness, boredom, and the impoverishment of human experience. The unique gathering of articles in Utopia vividly demonstrates the tension existing between utopian ideas and their proponents and the severe criticism of their...

Human Dignity
ISBN: 9780674284173 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. We often speak of the dignity owed to a person. And dignity is a word that regularly appears in political speeches. Charters are promulgated in its name, and appeals to it are made when people all over the world struggle to achieve their rights. But what exactly is dignity? When one person physically assaults another, we feel the wrong demands immediate condemnation and legal sanction. Whereas when one person humiliates or thoughtlessly makes use of another, we recognize the wrong and hope for a remedy, but the social response is less clear. The injury itself may be hard to quantify. ... We often speak of the dignity owed to a person. And dignity is a word that regularly appears in political speeches. Charters are promulgated in it... |

Patriotism and Other Mistakes
ISBN: 9780300136340 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 460 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. George Kateb has been one of the most respected and influential political theorists of the last quarter century. His work stands apart from that of many of his contemporaries and resists easy summary. In these essays Kateb often admonishes himself, in Socratic fashion, to keep political argument as far as possible negative to be willing to assert what we are not, and what we will not do, and to build modestly from there some account of what we are and what we ought to do.
Drawing attention to the non-rational character of many motives that drive people to construct and maintain a... George Kateb has been one of the most respected and influential political theorists of the last quarter century. His work stands apart from that of ma...

Emerson and Self-Reliance
ISBN: 9780742521452 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Ralph Waldo Emerson was a great moral philosopher. One of his principle contributions is the theory of self-reliance, a view of democratic individuality. During much of his life, Emerson was considered a radical thinker, and his opposition to established religious opinion was scandalous. Emerson's deep commitment to individualism was at the root of his critique, and his articulation of individualism was constant, whether aimed against the group mind or against institutional constrictions. 'Nietzsche was Emerson's best reader, ' and George Kateb provides an accessible reading of Emerson that...
