Beschreibung

In "The Social Contract & Emile," Jean-Jacques Rousseau explores the intricate relationships between individuals and society, presenting a dual narrative on political philosophy and education. "The Social Contract" posits the radical idea that legitimate political authority rests on the collective will of the people, encapsulating Rousseau's belief in the fundamental principles of liberty and equality. Simultaneously, "Emile" serves as a comprehensive treatise on the development of the child into a virtuous citizen, emphasizing the importance of natural education and the cultivation of individual autonomy. Rousseau's lyrical prose reflects Enlightenment ideals, challenging the social norms of his time and influencing modern democratic thought and educational theories. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a pivotal figure of the Enlightenment, experienced a tumultuous life marked by personal and societal strife, which fueled his distrust of contemporary institutions. From his humble beginnings in Geneva to his controversial philosophical insights, Rousseau's fervent advocacy for individual freedom and social reform reveals his deep-seated commitment to improving human coexistence. His works reflect his own struggles with societal expectations, making them a powerful commentary on human nature and governance. This authoritative compilation is vital for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of modern democratic and educational principles. Rousseau's ideas resonate today, encouraging readers to question established norms and actively engage in the construction of a more just society. "The Social Contract & Emile" is essential reading for scholars, educators, and anyone interested in the enduring dialogue between the individual and the collective.

    In this sweeping philosophical work, Amartya Sen proposes that the murderous violence that has riven our society is driven as much by confusion as by inescapable hatred. Challenging the reductionist division of people by race, religion, and class, Sen presents an inspiring vision of a world that can be made to move toward peace as firmly as it has spiraled in recent years toward brutality and war.

    Carl R. Trueman and Other Christian Evangelical Scholars Examine the Life and Work of Renowned Catholic, Social Conservative Thinker Robert P. George
    Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University, is one of the most influential conservative intellectuals of his generation. Among many honors and accolades, George received the US Presidential Citizens Medal from President George W. Bush and served as chairman of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF). Though a Catholic himself, George's influence has transcended traditional religious categories to shape evangelical discourse on politics, ethics, and political philosophy throughout his career. 
    In this thorough introduction and careful analysis of George's work for Protestant audiences, editor Andrew T. Walker gathers essays from high profile evangelical writers and academics—including Carl R. Trueman, Hunter Baker, Jennifer Marshall Patterson, and Scott Klusendorf—to explore subjects such as faith and reason, George's New Natural Law theory, and how to collaborate across ideological lines. Social Conservatism for the Common Good helps Christian evangelicals understand George's philosophy and apply it to their own cultural engagement and public witness.

    Essential for anyone interested in modern American politics, get the book that former President Barack Obama on X calls "a deeply thoughtful book" and says, "couldn't be a more timely read." 
     
     
     
    Part memoir, part rumination on the declining moral compass of the American political class, The Unraveling is the first book to place restoring political ethics at the center of the renewal of American democracy. Politics is a brutal game, but Bauer asks where does the line fall between the "hardball" of politics and attacks on the very foundation of democracy? Looking back on foryt-six years in the political arena, Bauer tries to better grasp what has gone wrong and to understand what shaped his own decisions and actions. He offers anecdotes, perspectives, and insights that are vitally relevant in our world today, including efforts in 2020 (and 2024) to defend our democratic system of elections from attack and distrust, and the struggles with social media, such as Meta, to combat disinformation in a post-truth politics. He writes about the various personal experiences along the way—the highs, the lows, and the absurd. Bauer presents a smart and serious look at our political culture and the role that he has played in shaping it. The Unraveling will be essential for anyone interested in American politics of the last fifty years—and the next.

    "A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy" is a work by Karl Marx, which he wrote in 1859. This work serves as a precursor to his more famous and extensive work, "Das Kapital." In this earlier work, Marx explores key concepts and ideas that later form the basis of his critique of capitalist society. 
    In this text, Marx delves into the economic and social structures of his time, examining the fundamental principles of political economy. He critiques various economic theories and thinkers, providing insights into his evolving thoughts on capitalism, labor, and the relationships between different classes in society. While not as comprehensive as "Das Kapital," this work lays the groundwork for Marx's later analyses and remains an essential piece for understanding his economic and philosophical perspectives.
