The Origins of American Social Science
ISBN: 9780521428361 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 536 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Focusing on the disciplines of economics, sociology, political science, and history, this book examines how American social science came to model itself on natural science and liberal politics. Professor Ross argues that American social science receives its distinctive stamp from the ideology of American exceptionalism, the idea that America occupies an exceptional place in history, based on her republican government and wide economic opportunity. Under the influence of this national self-conception, Americans believed that their history was set on a millennial course, exempted from...

The Greek Tradition in Republican Thought
ISBN: 9780521024280 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Tracing the influence of ancient Greek sources on the development of republican theory in Europe and America, this book argues that an important tradition of republican thought, derived from the central texts of Greek moral and political philosophy, emerged in sixteenth century England. It contributed significantly to the ideological framework of the English Civil Wars and the American Revolution. Eric Nelson offers significant reinterpretations of several central texts of European political theory, as well as a radical reappraisal of ancient Roman historiography.

A History of Sociological Research Methods in America, 1920-1960
ISBN: 9780521646499 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is the first book on the general history of U.S. sociological research methods. It provides systematic archival, documentary and interview data that question conventional views, showing that the extensive work done on sociological theory gives only a partial picture of the history of sociology.

This detailed study develops our understanding both of the history of social thought, and the settings in which social research is produced, raising wider issues of method in the history of ideas.

Conscience and Casuistry in Early Modern Europe
ISBN: 9780521520201 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This examination of a fundamental but often neglected aspect of the intellectual history of early modern Europe brings together philosophers, historians and political theorists from Great Britain, Canada, the United States, Australia, France and Germany. Despite the diversity of disciplines and national traditions represented, the individual contributions show a remarkable convergence around three themes: changes in the modes of moral education in early modern Europe, the emergence of new relations between conscience and law (particularly the law of the state), and the shared continuities and...

Pluralism and the Personality of the State tells the history of English political thought from 1900 to 1933, concentrating on the work of the political pluralists and their attack on the idea of state sovereignty. It explores the background to their work in the ideas of the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes and the German jurist Otto von Gierke. It also looks at what wider relevance their ideas might have today, particularly with regard to the question of the relation between the state and voluntary associations.

Christian Humanism and the Puritan Social Order
ISBN: 9780521892285 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Traditional views of puritan social thought have done a great injustice to the intellectual history of the sixteenth century. They have presented puritans as creators of a disciplined, progressive, ultimately revolutionary theory of social order. The origins of modern society and politics are laid at the feet of zealous English protestants whose only intellectual debts are owed to Calvinist theology and the Bible. Professor Todd demonstrates that this view is fundamentally ahistorical. She places puritanism back in its own historical milieu, showing puritans as the heirs of a complex...

Classical Humanism and Republicanism in English Political Thought, 1570-1640
ISBN: 9780521617161 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Early modern England was a monarchy and the Englishman was a subject rather than a citizen. Scholars have assumed that those traditions of political thought that emphasize the citizen's active role exercised no influence in England between the mid-sixteenth century and the Civil War in the 1640s. Markku Peltonen challenges that view and argues that early modern Englishmen could characterize their life as one of participation rather than subjection and portrays their community as having several distinctively republican features.

Milton and Republicanism
ISBN: 9780521646482 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume draws on the expertise of both historians and literary critics to examine the classical sources of Milton's republicanism, the genesis of that republicanism in the 1640s, its disappointment in the 1650s and its presence in his work (particularly in Paradise Lost) after the Restoration. Milton's prose works and his poetry are given equal coverage, making this the first collaborative volume to attempt a comprehensive thematic assessment of his political and literary career.

Utopias of the British Enlightenment
ISBN: 9780521455909 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This collection of eighteenth-century British utopias shows how the image of the ideal society was used as a form of social criticism, particularly as a means of focusing on ideas of progress and commercial development. The texts chosen reveal important trends in the development of liberal rights theories, of proto-socialist concepts of property distribution, and of conservative notions of the ideal hierarchical community. The introduction examines their relationship to the key issues and developments in the political thought of the period.

The History of Political Thought in National Context
ISBN: 9780521782340 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume represents a major contribution to the history of ideas, in which political thought has always been central, and reflects the disciplinary tensions--and national differences--of what remains a "borderline" subject, located at the intersection of history, politics and philosophy. The distinguished team of international contributors explores the relationship between the history of political thought as a discipline, and the politics, history and culture of the various nations discussed, which include the UK, the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Central and Eastern Europe.
