Virtue Politics
Winner of the Helen and Howard Marraro Prize A Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year “Perhaps the greatest study ever written of Renaissance political thought.” —Jeffrey Collins, Times Literary Supplement “Magisterial...Hankins shows that the humanists’ obsession with character explains their surprising indifference to particular forms of government. If rulers lacked authentic virtue, they believed, it did not matter what institutions framed their power.” —Wall Street Journal “Puts the politics back into humanism in an extraordinarily deep and far-reaching way...For generations to come, all who write about the political thought of Italian humanism will have to refer to i...
Law, Pragmatism, and Democracy
A liberal state is a representative democracy constrained by the rule of law. Richard Posner argues for a conception of the liberal state based on pragmatic theories of government. He views the actions of elected officials as guided by interests rather than by reason and the decisions of judges by discretion rather than by rules. He emphasizes the institutional and material, rather than moral and deliberative, factors in democratic decision making. Posner argues that democracy is best viewed as a competition for power by means of regular elections. Citizens should not be expected to play a significant role in making complex public policy regarding, say, taxes or missile defense. The great ad...
The Historiography of World War I from 1918 to the Present
From the Treaty of Versailles to the 2018 centenary and beyond, the history of the First World War has been continually written and rewritten, studied and contested, producing a rich historiography shaped by the social and cultural circumstances of its creation. Writing the Great War provides a groundbreaking survey of this vast body of work, assembling contributions on a variety of national and regional historiographies from some of the most prominent scholars in the field. By analyzing perceptions of the war in contexts ranging from Nazi Germany to India’s struggle for independence, this is an illuminating collective study of the complex interplay of memory and history.
Addressing Climate Change
The collection of articles in this volume provide a survey of five years of scholarship by the World Jurist Association, its members and the distinguished experts who have lent their time to speak and present their findings at our conferences around the world. This book will help you navigate through the sometimes confusing legal scholarship of climate change. The UN's Copenhagen Conference set the stage for future collaboration. It is in this legal enviornment that the world's leaders need to come together to determine the best way to protect our environment - and through it our health and well-being. These chapters will help you understand where the climate change discussion has been and where it needs to go next.
Learning Empire
The First World War marked the end point of a process of German globalization that began in the 1870s. Learning Empire looks at German worldwide entanglements to recast how we interpret German imperialism, the origins of the First World War, and the rise of Nazism.
Carl Schmitt als Jurist
Es vergeht kaum ein Monat, in dem nicht irgendwo auf dieser Welt ein neues Buch uber Carl Schmitt erscheint. Warum also noch ein Buch? Betrachtet man die Sekundarliteratur, fallt auf, dass es so gut wie keine Monographie gibt, die Schmitts rechtswissenschaftliches Werk juristisch wurdigt. Diese Lucke will die hier vorgelegte Untersuchung schliessen, indem sie den eindeutigen Schwerpunkt auf seine Beitrage zum Staats- und Volkerrecht legt. Das erfordert die Untersuchung seiner Stellung im zeitgenossischen Schrifttum und die Klarung der Frage, ob einzelne seiner Positionen und Begriffe noch heute in der Staatsrechtswissenschaft prasent sind. Erst in zweiter Linie werden seine Schriften zu den Grundlagenfachern Rechtstheorie und Rechtsphilosophie, Verfassungsgeschichte und allgemeine Staatslehre gewurdigt. Schmitts Arbeiten wollen immer auch Antworten auf aktuelle politische Herausforderungen geben. Deshalb kann auf die Thematisierung seiner Biographie und des zeitge schichtlichen Hintergrunds nicht verzichtet werden.
