Synopsis

Salons vs Clubs explores how intellectual discussions evolved from exclusive aristocratic gatherings to become catalysts for revolutionary movements. It contrasts the 18th and 19th-century salons, hosted by influential women and fostering elite intellectual exchange, with the rise of political clubs, more democratic organizations focused on specific ideologies. Understanding this transition is crucial for grasping how ideas spread and shaped modern political thought in Europe and the Americas.

 
The book argues that salons, while reinforcing social hierarchies, acted as precursors to the clubs by refining ideas that later found public expression. For example, Enlightenment ideals debated in salons found fertile ground for enactment within the clubs during the French Revolution.

 
The book charts this evolution across countries like France, England, and the United States, examining key figures and themes, and showing how these venues impacted political events. It progresses by first defining salons and clubs, then exploring their development and influence across different nations, and concluding with their lasting legacy on modern political organizations.

    Shakespeare's Rome - Republic...

    For more than forty years, Paul Cantor’s Shakespeare’s Rome has been a foundational work in the field of politics and literature. While many critics assumed that the Roman plays do not reflect any special knowledge of Rome, Cantor was one of the first to argue that they are grounded in a profound understanding of the Roman regime and its changes over time. Taking Shakespeare seriously as a political thinker, Cantor suggests that his Roman plays can be profitably studied in the context of the classical republican tradition in political philosophy.             In Shakespeare’s Rome, Cantor examines the political settings of Shakespeare’s Roman plays, Coriolanus and Antony and Cleopatra, with references as well to Julius Caesar. Cantor shows that Shakespeare presents a convincing portrait of Rome in different eras of its history, contrasting the austere republic of Coriolanus, with its narrow horizons and martial virtues, and the cosmopolitan empire of Antony and Cleopatra, with its “immortal longings” and sophistication bordering on decadence.

    A Constitution for the Common...

    If Scotland has voted YES on 18 September, how can a written Constitution be good for the people of Scotland?
    
    If Scotland has voted NO, how could a new Constitution protect and enhance Scottish democracy within a restructured UK?
    
    Whether YES or NO, a reconstituted Scotland is possible and good for all its citizens.
    
    
    Nearly every democracy in the world is built upon a written constitution, and constitutions have been at the core of citizens' demands for better governance in places as disparate as Kenya, Tunisia and Ukraine. With the Scottish National Party promising a written constitution in the event of a YES vote and other parties suggesting other possible options for constitutional change in the event of a NO vote, constitutional change looks certain to remain central to the political agenda in Scotland for some time to come.
    
    
    
    But what is a constitution for? Is it a defensive charter to protect the basic structures of democratic government, or is it a transformative covenant for a better society? How can the Constitution sustain democracy and promote ethical politics while at the same time recognising and accommodating differences in society? What difference would a good Constitution make to the poor? How can the Constitution help ensure that the common good of the citizenry prevails over private vested interests?
    
    
    
    In addressing these questions, this book sets out a vision for how Scotland could reconstitute itself. It emphasises the connection between the constitution, democracy and the common good, arguing that democratic self-government is the true prize, regardless of the relationship of Scotland to the rest of the UK.
    
    
    
    This book not only makes a vital contribution to Scotland's current and on-going constitutional debate, whatever the outcome in September 2014, but also engages with fundamental questions of constitutionalism and democracy that are of enduring relevance to both citizens and scholars around the world.
