Against Throne and Altar: Machiavelli and Political Theory Under the English Republic
ISBN: 9780521123952 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 436 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Modern republicanism - distinguished from its classical counterpart by its commercial character and jealous distrust of those in power, by its use of representative institutions, and by its employment of a separation of powers and a system of checks and balances - owes an immense debt to the republican experiment conducted in England between 1649, when Charles I was executed, and 1660, when Charles II was crowned. Though abortive, this experiment left a legacy in the political science articulated both by its champions, John Milton, Marchamont Nehdham, and James Harrington, and by its sometime...

ISBN: 9780300168082 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This fresh examination of the works of Montesquieu seeks to understand the shortcomings of the modern democratic state in light of this great political thinker's insightful critique of commercial republicanism. The western democracies' muted response to victory in the Cold War signaled the presence of a pervasive discontent, a sense that despite this victory liberal democracy itself was deeply flawed. Paul A. Rahe argues that to understand this phenomenon we must re-examine-starting with Montesquieu-the nature of liberal democracy, its character, and its propensities. In a brilliant...

For centuries, ancient Sparta has been glorified in song, fiction, and popular art. Yet the true nature of a civilization described as a combination of democracy and oligarchy by Aristotle, considered an ideal of liberty in the ages of Machiavelli and Rousseau, and viewed as a forerunner of the modern totalitarian state by many twentieth-century scholars has long remained a mystery. In a bold new approach to historical study, noted... An authoritative and refreshingly original consideration of the government and culture of ancient Sparta and her place in Greek history |

Soft Despotism, Democracy's Drift: Montesquieu, Rousseau, Tocqueville & the Modern Prospect
ISBN: 9780300164237 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In 1989, the Cold War abruptly ended and it seemed as if the world was at last safe for democracy. But a spirit of uneasiness, discontent, and world-weariness soon arose and has persisted in Europe, in America, and elsewhere for two decades. To discern the meaning of this malaise we must investigate the nature of liberal democracy, says the author of this provocative book, and he undertakes to do so through a detailed investigation of the thinking of Montesquieu, Rousseau, and Tocqueville. Paul A. Rahe argues that these political thinkers anticipated the modern liberal republic's... In 1989, the Cold War abruptly ended and it seemed as if the world was at last safe for democracy.
