1948. Procesos, permanencias, tensiones y rupturas
Lejos están ya los tiempos en los que desde el interior de la disciplina historiográfica se generaron las inquietudes que culminaron en la ruptura con las formas tradicionales de escribir la historia, esas que daban como resultado unas narraciones que giraban en torno a fechas, gestas y héroes. El primer tercio del siglo fue el momento del desacople entre las percep- ciones tradicionales de lo que debía ser el objeto de estudio de la historia y las inquietudes que en adelante debían plantearse los historiadores o todos aquellos que se interesaran de manera crítica por el conocimiento del pasado, inquietudes que debían abarcar los más distantes y distintos ámbitos de la actividad humana, para de esta forma tratar de comprender en su más extensa y compleja dimensión (por no decir en su totalidad) al ser humano en el tiempo.
Religion, Culture, and Society in Colombia
"The book describes the crucial role played by religion and the Catholic Church, which underwent considerable growth after the turbulent period of mid-nineteenth century Liberal reforms until the end of the Conservative era in 1930. It traces the progress of parishes, devotional associations, religious communities, private and public religiosity, and numerous philanthropic societies."--BOOK JACKET.
Waging the War of Ideas
This paper discusses how wars of ideas can be waged, using the author's extensive experience, both as director general of the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) and at other classical liberal think tanks. John Blundell begins his stimulating collection of published essays, reviews and introductions by showing how the founders of the IEA successfully fought the conventional planning wisdom of the 1960s and 1970s, providing the ideas which, by the 1980s and 1990s, had brought about increased freedom and a revival in the use of markets. He draws lessons from those days and then surveys the contemporary scene, showing how the anti-liberal ideas emerging now are different from those which prevailed in the early years of the IEA. As well as giving a valuable view of the IEAs development in the past, these essays also offer advice on how to continue winning in the new circumstances of the present. Waging the War of Ideas has been constantly in demand since it was first published in 2001. This new and expanded edition contains three new chapters and is introduced by Professor Walter Williams.
