The Cambridge History of Modern European Thought: Volume 2, The Twentieth Century
The Cambridge History of Modern European Thought is an authoritative and comprehensive exploration of the themes, thinkers and movements that shaped our intellectual world in the late-eighteenth and nineteenth century. Representing both individual figures and the contexts within which they developed their ideas, each essay is written in a clear accessible style by leading scholars in the field and offers both originality and interpretive insight. This second volume surveys twentieth-century European intellectual history, conceived as a crisis in modernity. Comprised of twenty-one chapters, it focuses on figures such as Freud, Heidegger, Adorno and Arendt, surveys major schools of thought including Phenomenology, Existentialism, and Conservatism, and discusses critical movements such as Postcolonialism, , Structuralism, and Post-structuralism. Renouncing a single 'master narrative' of European thought across the period, Peter E. Gordon and Warren Breckman establish a formidable new multi-faceted vision of European intellectual history for the global modern age.
Liberalism in Dark Times
A timely defense of liberalism that draws vital lessons from its greatest midcentury proponents Today, liberalism faces threats from across the political spectrum. While right-wing populists and leftist purists righteously violate liberal norms, theorists of liberalism seem to have little to say. In Liberalism in Dark Times, Joshua Cherniss issues a rousing defense of the liberal tradition, drawing on a neglected strand of liberal thought. Assaults on liberalism—a political order characterized by limits on political power and respect for individual rights—are nothing new. Early in the twentieth century, democracy was under attack around the world, with one country after another succumbin...

The Walter Lippmann Colloquium
This book is an introduction to and translation of the 1938 Walter Lippmann Colloquium held in Paris, which became known as the intellectual birthplace of “neo-liberalism.” Although the Lippmann Colloquium has been the subject of significant recent interest, this book makes this crucial primary source available to a wide, English-speaking audience for the first time. The Colloquium features important—often passionate—debates involving well-known intellectual figures such as Walter Lippmann, Louis Rougier, Friedrich Hayek, Ludwig von Mises, Michael Polanyi, Jacques Rueff, Alexander Rüstow and Wilhelm Röpke. Many of the topics addressed at the Colloquium, such as the proper methods of economic intervention, the relationship between the market economy and democracy, and the relationship between economic liberalism and political liberalism are issues that still vie for our attention in the aftermath of the Great Recession.
The Anthem Companion to Raymond Aron
Raymond Aron is an exceptional figure among twentieth-century sociological and political thinkers.

Aron experts from a total of seven countries examine Aron’s sociology in detail starting with his road from philosophy to sociology not least under the impression of the Great Depression and its aftermath, especially the rise of National Socialism in Germany. His epistemological studies on the limits of objective knowledge in history and the social sciences in which he moves awa...
Neoliberalismus
Sommer 1938: Knapp zehn Jahre nach dem Börsencrash an der Wall Street und dem Einsetzen der New-Deal-Politik ist der wirtschaftliche Liberalismus auf dem Rückzug. In der Sowjetunion, Deutschland und Italien hält der Faschismus Einzug. Angesichts dieser geopolitischen Lage lädt der französische Philosoph Louis Rougier 26 Ökonomen, Soziologen, Philosophen und Juristen zu einem Kolloquium nach Paris ein. Darunter auch Walter Lippmann, der gerade sein Werk "The Good Society" vorgelegt hatte, in welchem er die These aufstellt, dass die Marktwirtschaft gerade nicht das spontane Ergebnis einer natürlichen Ordnung sei, sondern Ergebnis einer Rechtsordnung, die das Eingreifen des Staates vorau...
