Описание: This book offers a strikingly original interpretation of Leo Strauss, his `political philosophy`, and the connection of both to the American conservative movement. There is nothing essentially `conservative` about what Strauss or his leading disciples have taught about politics or morals, instead they have been avid champions of American modernity.

Автор: Dyson Kenneth Название: Conservative Liberalism, Ordo-Liberalism, and the State: Disciplining Democracy and the Market ISBN: 0198854285 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780198854289 Издательство: Oxford Academ Рейтинг: Цена: 276650.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The book examines the historical significance and contemporary relevance of a body of thought about rejuvenating liberalism that has tended to be neglected in the English-speaking world in favour of the rise of social liberalism.
Western democracy has become increasingly estranged from its crucial historical, political, spiritual, and cultural prerequisites- what author Daniel J. Mahoney calls “the conservative foundations of the liberal order.” In this eloquent and insightful work of political philosophy and cultural criticism, Mahoney offers a vigorous defense of these foundations, and shows the dangers of identifying liberty with a radical project of social and cultural emancipation.
The Conservative Foundations of the Liberal Order takes particular aim at partisans of “pure democracy,” who have transformed the principles of liberty and equality into an unreflective dogma. By reducing liberty to a vague affirmation of equality and individual autonomy, Mahoney shows, such partisans undermine those “contents of life” -, patriotism, philosophical reflection, family and social life- enrich human existence and give purpose to human freedom. What we need instead is a conservative-minded liberalism.
Calling on the wisdom of Winston Churchill, Edmund Burke, Alexis de Tocqueville, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Raymond Aron, and other exemplary leaders and thinkers, Mahoney addresses a wide range of questions related to liberty in the contemporary world. He brilliantly analyzes the task of the democratic statesman; the need for prudence, sobriety, and civic courage in confronting the totalitarian enemies of the West; the ties that bind religion and democratic liberty; democracy’s tendency to squander its own inheritance in frenzied efforts to establish a human order that is more and more “democratic”; the follies of the postmodern “culture of repudiation”; the reasons so many intellectuals indulge totalitarianism and terrorism; and much more.
Rejecting the dual temptations of utopianism and despair, Mahoney defends self-government- understood- both democracy’s enemies and its all-too-numerous “immoderate friends.” The Conservative Foundations of the Liberal Order upholds the rich civilized inheritance that allows human beings to lead free and decent lives together.

Описание: How do democracies form and what makes them die? Daniel Ziblatt revisits this timely and classic question in a wide-ranging historical narrative that traces the evolution of modern political democracy in Europe from its modest beginnings in 1830s Britain to Adolf Hitler's 1933 seizure of power in Weimar Germany. Based on rich historical and quantitative evidence, the book offers a major reinterpretation of European history and the question of how stable political democracy is achieved. The barriers to inclusive political rule, Ziblatt finds, were not inevitably overcome by unstoppable tides of socioeconomic change, a simple triumph of a growing middle class, or even by working class collective action. Instead, political democracy's fate surprisingly hinged on how conservative political parties – the historical defenders of power, wealth, and privilege – recast themselves and coped with the rise of their own radical right. With striking modern parallels, the book has vital implications for today's new and old democracies under siege.
Автор: Jared Giesbrecht Название: Network Democracy: Conservative Politics and the Violence of the Liberal Age ISBN: 0773550747 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780773550742 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 34230.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Network Democracy uses the contemporary tools of ecology and network thinking to unearth the ancient, intellectual ruins of traditional conservative thought. Questioning the West's veneration of freedom, equality, contractual citizenship, economic progress, cosmopolitanism, secular institutionalism, and reason, Jared Giesbrecht illuminates how these ideals fuel violence and insecurity in our high-speed lives. While the modern age witnesses the rise of a violent conservatism in the form of revolutionary movements enacting terror and vengeance for the interventions of the liberal West, this study reveals a different kind of conservatism - one that has emerged in direct conversation with liberal thought. Giesbrecht highlights the need for intermediate institutions and civil enterprises that form relations and traditions independent of the state in order to develop resistance to the insecurity of the liberal age. This book offers not only a poignant critique, but a constructive and peaceable alternative to the violence of both liberalism and reactionary anti-liberalism. Attuned to the new realities of globalization, advanced technology, and social acceleration, Network Democracy is a masterful hybrid of ancient and cutting-edge political philosophy that casts a new light on the values underlying western civilization.

Описание: Recovering Hegel from the Critique of Leo Strauss provides a study unique in its focus on Leo Strauss`s reading of Hegel. While MacDonald and Craig find value in Strauss`s thought, they argue that his pessimism concerning modernity lies in a misunderstanding of both modernity`s greatest philosophical advocate, G.W.F. Hegel, and modernity`s virtues.
