ISBN: 9780674027237 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 229 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this inaugural volume of the Alexis de Tocqueville Lectures, political scientist James Ceaser traces the way certain ideas, including nature, history, and religion--which he calls foundational ideas--have been understood and used by statesmen and public intellectuals over the course of American history, from the Puritans to the current day. Ceaser treats these ideas not as pure concepts of philosophy or theology, but rather as elements of political discourse that provide the ground or ultimate appeal for other political ideas, such as liberty or equality. At times, they have...

Presidential Selection: Theory and Development
ISBN: 9780691021881 / Angielski / Miękka / 1979 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Examining the development of the process of presidential selection from the founding of the republic to the present day, James Ceaser contends that many of the major purposes of the selection system as it was formerly understood have been ignored by current reformers and modern scholars. In an attempt to reverse this trend, Professor Ceaser discusses the theories of selection offered by leading American statesmen from the Founders and Thomas Jefferson to Martin Van Buren and Woodrow Wilson. From these theories he identifies a set of criteria for a sound selection system that he then uses...

Liberal Democracy and Liberal Education
ISBN: 9781498502467 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

In this sense, liberal education is negative, questioning any and all constraints on the activity of mind. Liberal democracy, devoted to securing individual natural rights, purports to be the regime of liberty par excellence. Since both liberal education and liberal democracy aim to set...
