The Life of Wisdom in Rousseau\'s Reveries of the Solitary Walker
ISBN: 9781501769238 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Life of Wisdom in Rousseau's "Reveries of the Solitary Walker" is the first complete exegesis and interpretation of Rousseau's final and culminating work, showing its full philosophic and moral teaching. The Reveries has been celebrated as a work of literature that is an acknowledged acme of French prose writing. Thomas L. Pangle argues that this aesthetic appreciation necessitates an in-depth interpretation of the writing's complex and multileveled intended teaching about the normatively best way of life—and how essential this is for a work that was initially bewildering.

Spirit of Modern Republicanism: The Moral Vision of the American Founders and the Philosophy of Locke
ISBN: 9780226645476 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. "The Spirit of Modern Republicanism "sets forth a radical reinterpretation of the foundations on which the American regime was constructed. Thomas L. Pangle argues that the Founders had a dramatically new vision of civic virtue, religious faith, and intellectual life, rooted in an unprecedented commitment to private and economic liberties. It is in the thought of John Locke that Pangle finds the fullest elaboration of the principles supporting the Founders' moral vision.

Justice Among Nations: On the Moral Basis of Power and Peace
ISBN: 9780700609598 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the post-Cold War era, we have lost the clarity that once characterized our vision of international conflict. Foreign affairs are no longer defined solely by the ideological battles fought between capitalism and communism or by the competition between two great nuclear superpowers. That oversimplified view has been replaced by an increasing awareness of the moral and political complexity surrounding international relations. To help us deal with this new reality, Thomas Pangle and Peter Ahrensdorf provide a critical introduction to the most important conceptions of international...

Aristotle's Teaching in the Politics
ISBN: 9780226016030 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. With Aristotle s Teaching in the Politics, Thomas L. Pangle offers a masterly new interpretation of this classic philosophical work. It is widely believed that the Politics originated as a written record of a series of lectures given by Aristotle, and scholars have relied on that fact to explain seeming inconsistencies and instances of discontinuity throughout the text. Breaking from this tradition, Pangle makes the work s origin his starting point, reconceiving the Politics as the pedagogical tool of a master teacher.

The Roots of Political Philosophy: Ten Forgotten Socratic Dialogues
ISBN: 9780801494659 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book consists of literal English translations of ten Socratic dialogues that have been largely neglected for the last century. Although everyone of these dialogues belongs to the classical canon of Platonic writings and was accepted as genuine in antiquity, most were condemned as forgeries in the early nineteenth century and have remained under a shadow ever since. In his long introductory essay, Thomas L. Pangle offers a spirited criticism of arguments that have been adduced to support the view that some of the dialogues are counterfeit and shows in scrupulous detail why he believes...

Political Philosophy and the God of Abraham
ISBN: 9780801887611 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this book noted scholar Thomas L. Pangle brings back a lost and crucial dimension of political theory: the mutually illuminating encounter between skeptically rationalist political philosophy and faith-based political theology guided ultimately by the authority of the Bible. Focusing on the chapters of Genesis in which the foundation of the Bible is laid, Pangle provides an interpretive reading illuminated by the questions and concerns of the Socratic tradition and its medieval heirs in the Christian, Jewish, and Islamic worlds. He brings into contrast the rival interpretive framework... In this book noted scholar Thomas L.

This first comprehensive commentary on "The Spirit of the Laws" uncovers and explicates the plan of Montesquieu's famous but baffling treatise. Pangle brings to light Montesquieu's rethinking of the philosophical groundwork of liberalism, showing how "The Spirit of the Laws "enlarges and enriches the liberal conception of natural right by means of a new appeal to History as the source of basic norms.

Leo Strauss: An Introduction to His Thought and Intellectual Legacy
ISBN: 9780801884405 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Leo Strauss's controversial writings have long exercised a profound subterranean cultural influence. Now their impact is emerging into broad daylight, where they have been met with a flurry of poorly informed, often wildly speculative, and sometimes rather paranoid pronouncements. This book, written as a corrective, is the first accurate, non-polemical, comprehensive guide to Strauss's mature political philosophy and its intellectual influence. Thomas L. Pangle opens a pathway into Strauss's major works with one question: How does Strauss's philosophic thinking contribute to our...

The Learning of Liberty: The Educational Ideas of the American Founders
ISBN: 9780700607464 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. American schools are in a state of crisis. At the root of our current perplexity, beneath the difficulties with funding, social problems, and low test scores, festers a serious uncertainty as to what the focus and goals of education should be. We are increasingly haunted by the suspicion that our educational theories and institutions have lost sight of the need to perpetuate a core of moral and civic knowledge that is essential for any citizen's education, and indeed for any individual's happiness. Mining the Founders' rich reflections on education, the Pangles suggest, can help us...

Studies in Platonic Political Philosophy
ISBN: 9780226777009 / Angielski / Miękka / 1985 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. One of the outstanding thinkers of our time offers in this book his final words to posterity. Studies in Platonic Political Philosophy was well underway at the time of Leo Strauss's death in 1973. Having chosen the title for the book, he selected the most important writings of his later years and arranged them to clarify the issues in political philosophy that occupied his attention throughout his life. As his choice of title indicates, the heart of Strauss's work is Platonism--a Platonism that is altogether unorthodox and highly controversial. These essays consider, among others,...

Birds/Peace/Wealth: Aristophanes' Critique of the Gods
ISBN: 9781589880788 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 223 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In these three raucous comedies, mortals outwit and even replace Zeus and other Olympian deities of the Greek Pantheon. As Aristophanes provokes laughter at the foibles of gods and men, he arouses wonder at our human need for the divine. The three comic heroes in the plays included here raise the questions of whether there are gods, who they might be, how powerful they are, and how they might be changed or eliminated. Although the precise form of such questions changes from age to age, these are questions that are inseparable from political life; and they certainly are powerfully...

The Laws of Plato
ISBN: 9780226671109 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. "The Laws," Plato's longest dialogue, has for centuries been recognized as the most comprehensive exposition of the "practical" consequences of his philosophy, a necessary corrective to the more visionary and utopian "Republic." In this animated encounter between a foreign philosopher and a powerful statesman, not only do we see reflected, in Plato's own thought, eternal questions of the relation between political theory and practice, but we also witness the working out of a detailed plan for a new political order that embodies the results of Plato's mature reflection on the family, the...
