Civilizing Sex: On Chastity and the Common Good
ISBN: 9781474287500 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A fascinating account of the role of sex as a civilizing force in the west, this lucid and compelling book contends that keeping sex within marriage is essential for the well-being of any society. Riley explores the Judaeo-Christian tradition on marriage and sexuality and shows how marriage came to contain the force of sexuality, harnessing its energies to serve both the family and the wider community. He argues that the idea that sex is entirely a private issue is an error with potentially disastrous consequences both for the individual and for society.

ISBN: 9780813922928 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What happens, asks Patrick Riley, when a life transformed becomes an autobiography? What is the relationship between the subjective upheaval of conversion and the representation of character? Who, then, is this -self- writing the narrative of a life? Thinking of conversion as a radical turning point or fulcrum on which incompatible configurations of character are precariously balanced, Riley examines both historically and tropologically the paradoxes of identity and life writing that conversion raises. While conversion can motivate the writing of an autobiography that ties together threads... What happens, asks Patrick Riley, when a life transformed becomes an autobiography?

The General Will Before Rousseau: The Transformation of the Divine Into the Civic

Patrick Riley traces the forgotten roots of Rousseau's concept to seventeenth-century questions about the justice of God. If He wills that all men be saved, does He have a general will that produces universal salvation? And, if He does not, why does He will particularly" that some men be damned? The theological origin of the "general will" was important to Rousseau himself. He uses the language of divinity bequeathed to him by Pascal, Malebranche, Fenelon, and others to dignify, to elevate, and to "save" politics. Originally published in 1986. The Princeton Legacy...
