Conscience and Casuistry in Early Modern Europe
ISBN: 9780521520201 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

Classical Humanism and Republicanism in English Political Thought, 1570-1640
ISBN: 9780521617161 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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.

ISBN: 9780521386661 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

The Greek Tradition in Republican Thought
ISBN: 9780521835459 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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.

The Origins of American Social Science
ISBN: 9780521428361 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 536 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

A History of Sociological Research Methods in America, 1920-1960
ISBN: 9780521441735 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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. Research practice is affected by many other factors. 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.

Multinational Democracies is the first collaborative, multi-perspective critical survey of a new and distinctive type of political association that is coming into prominence in the twenty-first century. These are democratic societies that are not only multicultural but also multinational: that is, they comprise two or more nations. Nineteen leading comparative political scientists and political theorists from Europe and North America clarify the complex character and tensions of multinational democracies by reflecting on four exemplars--the United Kingdom, Spain, Belgium and Canada. The work...

Understanding and Teaching the Vietnam War
ISBN: 9780299294144 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Just as the Vietnam War presented the United States with a series of challenges, it presents a unique challenge to teachers at all levels. The war had a deep and lasting impact on American culture, politics, and foreign policy. Still fraught with controversy, this crucial chapter of the American experience is as rich in teachable moments as it is riddled with potential pitfalls--especially for students a generation or more removed from the events themselves. Addressing this challenge, Understanding and Teaching the Vietnam War offers a wealth of resources for teachers at the secondary...

The American Language of Rights
ISBN: 9780521616218 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Richard A. Primus examines three crucial periods in American history (the late eighteenth century, the Civil War and the 1950s and 1960s) and demonstrates how the conceptions of rights prevailing at each of these times grew out of opposition to concrete political cases. In the first study of its kind, Primus highlights the influence of totalitarianism (in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union) on the language of rights. This book will be a major contribution to contemporary political theory, of interest to scholars and students in politics and government, constitutional law, and American history.

Galaxy Distances and Deviations from Universal Expansion
ISBN: 9789027722775 / Angielski / Twarda / 1986 / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. It was a general feeling among those who attended the NATO / ARW meeting on the Galaxy Distances and Deviations from Universal Expansion, that during the week in Hawaii a milestone had been passed in work on the distance scale. While not until the last minute did most of the participants know who else would be attending, no one was displeased with the showing. As it turned out, scarcely a single active worker in the field of the distance scale missed the event. Few knew all of the outstanding work that was to be revealed, and/or the long-term programs that were to be encapsulated in the first...
