Sinopse

Herbert Spencer's "The Complete Essays" (Vol. 1-3) showcases his profound exploration of sociology, philosophy, and ethics. With a distinctive style that melds rigorous argumentation with a compelling narrative voice, Spencer navigates the complexities of human society and development. His essays embody the essence of 19th-century intellectual thought, demonstrating a commitment to empiricism and the application of evolutionary theory to social constructs. The volumes offer a comprehensive examination of themes such as progress, individualism, and the interplay of society and morality, representing a significant contribution to the discourse of the era and influencing both social sciences and philosophical debates. Spencer, often celebrated as one of history's foremost social philosophers, was deeply inspired by the scientific developments of his time, particularly Darwin's theory of evolution. His background in biology and keen interest in the natural world informed his analysis of societal evolution, making his work a cornerstone of sociological thought. The integration of naturalistic perspectives into social theory set Spencer apart, allowing him to interrogate societal structures and advocate for social reforms grounded in rational thought and empirical evidence. Readers seeking a thoughtful examination of the intersection between individual and society will find Spencer's essays invaluable. His work remains relevant today, offering insights into contemporary issues related to social organization and ethical governance. "The Complete Essays" invites readers to engage with foundational ideas that continue to shape our understanding of human behavior and societal progress.

    Party People - Candidates and...

    Candidates are the literal "face" of political parties, yet they are not wedded to them permanently: candidates can enter or leave politics, switch parties, move along or stay behind when parties split or merge. Even in parties that look stable, candidate change happens below the surface, ultimately altering what the parties stand for. Inspired by evolutionary theories, Party People: Candidates and Party Evolution conceptualizes candidates as "party genes" and develops a candidate-based approach to party evolution. Tracking candidates between elections and parties opens up new perspectives on party development in complex and dynamic settings in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and beyond. Based on a new database of 200,000 electoral candidates from over sixty elections across nine CEE democracies, this book presents a groundbreaking study of party evolution using candidate change as an indicator of party change. Allan Sikk and Philipp Köker offer a series of methodological and conceptual advances for the measurement of candidate turnover, party fission and fusion, programmatic change, and party leadership change; the resulting analyses make a significant contribution to the study of CEE party politics as well as to the general scholarship on elections, parties, and political change.

    Love and Saint Augustine

    Hannah Arendt, the author of The Origins of Totalitarianism and The Human Condition, began her scholarly career with an exploration of Saint Augustine's concept of caritas, or neighborly love, written under the direction of Karl Jaspers and the influence of Martin Heidegger. After her German academic life came to a halt in 1933, Arendt carried her dissertation into exile in France, and years later took the same battered and stained copy to New York. 
     
     
      
    During the late 1950s and early 1960s, Arendt was simultaneously annotating and revising her dissertation on Augustine, amplifying its argument with terms and concepts she was using in her political works. The dissertation became a bridge over which Arendt traveled back and forth between 1929 Heidelberg and 1960s New York, carrying with her Augustine's question about the possibility of social life in an age of rapid political and moral change. 
     
     
     
    In Love and Saint Augustine, political science professor Joanna Vecchiarelli Scott and philosophy professor Judith Chelius Stark make this important early work accessible for the first time. Here is a completely corrected and revised English translation that incorporates Arendt's own substantial revisions and provides additional notes based on letters, contracts, and other documents as well as the recollections of Arendt's friends and colleagues.
