The Aesthetic Understanding: Essays in the Philosophy of Art and Cultureby Roger ScrutonISBN 1890318027 (1-890318-02-7)
Softcover, St Augustine Pr Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Aesthetic Understanding: Essays in the Philosophy of Art and Culture'Book summary:Brings together essays on the philosophy of art in which a philosophical theory of aesthetic judgment is tested and developed through its application to particular examples. Each essay approaches, from its own field of study, what Roger Scruton argues to be the central problems of aesthetics - what is aesthetic experience, and what is its importance for human conduct?
The book is divided into four parts. The first contains a rsum of modern analytical aesthetics, which also serves as an introduction to subsequent chapters. It also includes an essay that reviews current theories of literary criticism. The second part is devoted to musical aesthetics and contains the theoretical core of the work. Here Scruton describes the contours of aesthetic understanding, and defends the view that the object of aesthetic experience is inherently significant, even when it has no "content" that can be described in propositional terms. He rebuts the view that music is representational, and in the third part goes on to propose a theory of representation whereby to refute the suggestion that photography is a representational art. This third section also contains a study of film. The final part comprises essays relating aesthetic judgment to the understanding of culture, humor, and design. It covers many subjects, including the prose works of Samuel Beckett and the architecture of Leninism. The essays in this book form parts of a single intellectual enterprise, which is to give analytical foundations to the criticism of literature, visual art, music, and culture.
New essays in this edition include "The Aesthetic Endeavour Today," "Upon Nothing" (a deconstruction of deconstruction), and "Humane Education." [via]

American Republicby BrownsonISBN 1882926927 (1-882926-92-7)
Softcover, Isi Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'American Republic'Book summary:Orestes Brownsons The American Republic was first published in 1865. The nation had just survived a Civil War that threatened to destroy the very life of a country less than one hundred years old. In this magisterial work, Brownson emerges as a political realist as well as a theorist. With brilliant and sobering thought Brownson presents his views on the nature, necessity, extent, authority, origin, and constitution of government in the light of the problems caused by secession and reconstruction. He urges his countrymen to consider their nations role and impact on world history as he outlines for them the political and religious destiny of a government with "no prototype in any prior constitution." If the Federalist Papers of Madison, Hamilton, and Jay are among the best philosophical expositions of Americas form of government at its founding, The American Republic of Brownson ought to enjoy a similar evaluation as a philosophical exposition of the union restored after the Civil War. This assessment is strongly reinforced by a major new evaluation of Brownsons enduring geniusand continuing relevanceby noted political philosopher Peter Augustine Lawler. Lawlers introduction constitutes a mini-book in itself, and will enrich the encounter of modern readers with the achievement of Orestes Brownson, a highly original American mind. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Deliver Us from Evil: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism'Book summary:Nearly three years have passed since that tragic day in september. Since then, our wounds have healed, but our senses and memories have dulled. At first, the nation rallied behind its leader. But by the time the confrontation with iraq presented itself, our courage and moral certainty seemed to fade in the face of partisan bickering and posturing. Now the political left and the democratic party are trying to use the demanding aftermath of the war to exploit our national cause for their own political advantage. How could we allow ourselves to forget so soon? --from deliver us from evil sean hannity's first blockbuster book, the new york times bestseller let freedom ring, cemented his place as the freshest and most compelling conservative voice in the country. As the host of the phenomenally successful hannity & colmes on the fox news channel and the sean hannity show on abc radio, hannity has won a wildly devoted fan base. Now he brings his plainspoken, take-no-prisoners style to the continuing war on terror abroad -- and liberalism at home -- in deliver us from evil. "evil exists," hannity asserts. "it is real, and it means to harm us." and in these pages he revisits the harsh lessons america has learned in confronting evil in the past and the present, to illuminate the course we must take in the future. Tracing a direct line from adolf hitler and joseph stalin through saddam hussein and osama bin laden, he reminds us of the courage and moral clarity of our great leaders. And he reveals how the disgraceful history of appeasement has reached forward from the days of neville chamberlain and jimmy carter to corrupt the unrepentant leftists of the modern democratic party -- from howard dean and john kerry to bill and hillary clinton. As americans face the ongoing war against terrorists and their state sponsors around the world, sean hannity reminds us that we must also cope with the continuing scourge of accommodation and cowardice at home.

The Disuniting of Americaby Arthur M. SchlesingerISBN 1879736004 (1-879736-00-4)

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Disuniting of America'Book summary:What does it mean to be an American? Is the republic a unified whole or a collection of disparate ethnic groups? In this book, the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr, examines the changing face of American history and shows how an increasing focus on ethnicity has affected life both in academic circles and on the street. America has always been a nation of immigrants striving towards the common goal of a better life than they had known in the old country. But the melting pot no longer seems an apt metaphor for the American experience: racial and ethnic minorities are drifting apart, focusing on individual heritage and becoming more bitterly divided. However, Professor Schlesinger ultimately believes that the old ideals of "e pluribus unum" are still strong enough to bind the United States together. [via]

The Enemy: An Intellectual Portrait of Carl Schmittby Carl Schmitt, Gopal BalakrishnanISBN 1859847609 (1-85984-760-9)
Hardcover, Verso Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Enemy: An Intellectual Portrait of Carl Schmitt'Book summary:The writings of Carl Schmitt form what is arguably the most disconcerting, original, and yet still unfamiliar body of twentieth-century political thought. In the English-speaking world, he is terra incognita, a name associated with Nazism, the author of a largely untranslated oeuvre forming no recognizable system, coming to us from a disturbing place and time in the form of fragments. The Enemy is a comprehensive intertextual reconstruction and analysis of all of Schmitt's major works - his books, articles and pamphlets from 1919 - 1950 - presented in an arresting narrative form. This form reveals the complex ways in which his ideas took shape in the intertwining time lines of civil and world wars and retraces the path of his interventions on the constantly shifting battlefield of the inter-war era. The lines of thought which emerge out of this meticulous study on democracy, constitutional law and international law will be startling to those who know nothing about Schmitt, as well as to those who have had to rely on the existing secondary literature to form an opinion of him. For the first time, the stature and topicality of this disturbing figure is incontrovertibly demonstrated. [via]

Many of Bagehot's insights remain either true, as a statement of basic principle, or even if no longer strictly accurate, fascinating in their partial applicability today. they convey a sharp sense of how the constitution has radically changed since the Victorian era, and yet paradoxically at a more basic level, remained the same.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Going Postal: Rage, Murder, And Rebellion, From Reagan's Workplaces To Clinton's Columbine And Beyond'Book summary:An eye-opening look at the phenomenon of school and workplace shootings in America, Going Postal explores the rage-murder phenomenon that has plagued and baffled America for the last three decades, and offers some provocative answers to the oft-asked question, "Why?" By juxtaposing the historical place of rage in America with the social climate that has existed since the 1980s when Reaganomics began to widen the gap between executive and average-worker earnings the author crafts a convincing argument that these schoolyard and office massacres can be seen as modern-day slave rebellions. He presents many fascinating and unexpected cases in detail. Like slave rebellions, these massacres are doomed, gory, sometimes even inadvertently comic, and grossly misunderstood. Taking up where Bowling for Columbine left off, this book seeks to set these murders in their proper context and thereby reveal their meaning.[via]More editions of Going Postal: Rage, Murder, And Rebellion, From Reagan's Workplaces To Clinton's Columbine And Beyond:

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Graves of Academe'Book summary:Twenty-odd years ago, Richard Mitchell, a professor at New Jerseys Glassboro State College, set out on a quixotic pursuit: the rescue of the English language and the minds of those attached to the world by it. Donning cape and mask as The Underground Grammarian, Mitchell sallied forth upon his newsletter against the nonsense being spoken, written, and, indeed, encouraged by the educational establishment. ( One thing led to another, as he tells it, a front page piece in The Wall Street Journal, a proÞle in Time, and other such. Before it was over, The Underground Grammarian came to be, in the world of desktop printing, the Þrst publication to have subscribers on every continent except Antarctica. ) What began as a vivid catalog of ignorance and inanity in the written work of professional educators and their hapless students soon became an enterprise of most noble moment: an investigation, via mordant wit and Þerce intelligence, of what we might usefully decide to mean by education. The results of Mitchells inquiries are as stimulating today as they were when Þrst articulated. His project remains a telling explication of how, through writing, we discover thought and make knowledge. It is certainly the most drolly entertaining. [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Leisure: The Basis of Culture'Book summary:One of the most important philosophy titles published in the twentieth century, Joseph Pieper's Leisure, the Basis of Culture is more significant, even more crucial than it was when it first appeared fifty years ago.
Pieper shows that Greeks understood and valued leisure, as did the medieval Europeans. He points out that religion can be born only in leisure-a leisure that allows time for the contemplation of the nature of God. Leisure has been, and always will be, the first foundation of any culture. He maintains that our bourgeois world of total labor has vanquished leisure, and issues a startling warning: Unless we regain the art of silence and insight, the ability for nonactivity, unless we substitute true leisure for our hectic amusements, we will destroy our culture-and ourselves. These astonishing essays contradict all our pragmatic and puritanical conceptions about labor and leisure; Joseph Pieper demolishes the twentieth-century cult of "work" as he predicts its destructive consequences.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Path to Power'Book summary:Margaret Thatcher's government was, she says, about the application of a philosophy, not the implementation of an administrative programme. These ideas and beliefs were propelled throughout her time in office by a forcefulness and conviction, particularly in critical moments in her premiership - the Falklands War, the miner's strike, the Brighton bomb and her three election victories. In the second volume of her memoirs, following "The Downing Street Years", she reveals the inspiration behind many of her philosophies. She discusses the formative years of her childhood in Grantham, the values she learnt at home, the profound influence of her shopkeeeping father, and of her own schooling on future Conservative education policies. She recounts her days at Oxford, her academic work as a scientist, marriage to Dennis, and the beginning of her career as a politician when in 1959 she was selected to stand at Finchley. She gives her views on the governments of Harold Macmillan, Alec Douglas-Home, Harold Wilson, Edward Heath and Jim Callaghan, and sets out the development of her ideas during her time in opposition.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism'Book summary:A new translation of Max Webers classic The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism--one of the most enduring and influential books in sociology--is now available from Roxbury.
Translator Stephen Kalberg is an internationally acclaimed Weberian scholar. In this Third Roxbury Edition, Kalberg offers a precise and nuanced rendering of The Protestant Ethic that captures Webers style as well as the unusual subtlety of his descriptions and causal arguments. Kalbergs standardization of Webers terminology facilitates understanding of the various twists and turns in his complex lines of reasoning. Webers original italicization, highlighting major themes, has been restored. A glossary of major terms and numerous clarifying endnotes have been added; foreign terms have been translated; bracketed insertions in the text identify obscure names. In short, the Protestant Ethic thesis is presented in a clear and highly readable manner.
There are three compelling reasons for students to read this classic:
It explores the continuing debate regarding the origins and legacy of modern capitalism in the West.
It helps the reader better understand economic development today around the world, especially in Russia, Eastern Europe, Asia, and South America.
It plumbs the deep cultural forces that affect contemporary work life and the workplace in the United States and Europe.In his introduction, Kalberg offers a sketch of Webers life and his major concerns, examines the intellectual context at the time The Protestant Ethic was written, and summarizes major aspects of Webers complex analysis. Kalberg also discusses this classical study in the context of Webers other writings. Finally, Kalberg investigates the contribution of The Protestant Ethic for understanding the role played by cultural forces in modern economic development.
The new translation includes Webers 1906 essay "The Protestant Sects and the Spirit of Capitalism." Written after his extensive travels in the United States in 1904, Weber comments here on the diverse ways in which the legacies of early American Protestantism remain influential. Also contained in this edition are Webers masterful prefatory remarks to his Collected Essays in the Sociology of Religion, in which he defines the uniqueness of Western societies and asks what "ideas and interests" combined to call forth modern Western rationalism.
For students, The Protestant Ethic is a starting point toward understanding the multiple dimensions of social change. The continuing debates about the main elements of modern life, economic cultures and business ethics, our "common sense" economic determinism and "rational choices," the future of modern capitalism, the relationship between cultural forces and social structures, and the tension between science and religion are very much part of the Weberian project. Small wonder, then, that The Protestant Ethic continues to be one of the most frequently assigned readings in sociology.
Translator Stephen Kalberg is the author of Max Webers Comparative-Historical Sociology (1994), Max Webers Sociology of Civilizations, and numerous articles on Weber. He is the editor of Max Weber: The Confrontation with Modernity (2003l). He teaches at Boston University, where he is Associate Professor of Sociology. He is also co-chair of the German Study Group at Harvard University's Center for European Studies. [via]

In telling the story of her family and their hardships in the Depression, Dunbar-Ortiz introduces the reader to some fascinating characters who are certainly not the "white trash" caricatures of popular belief. Interspersed well with her own story are historical facts that give depth to the narrative and correct popular misconceptions about "Okies" (some of which were popularized by John Steinbeck in The Grapes of Wrath).

The Superfluous Men: Conservative Critics of American Culture, 1900-1945by Robert CrundenISBN 1882926307 (1-882926-30-7)
Hardcover, Isi Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Superfluous Men: Conservative Critics of American Culture, 1900-1945'Book summary:The roots of modern conservatism as an intellectual and political movement have been explored extensively by a variety of writers, but almost all attention has been focused on ideas and events following the Second World War. Editor Robert M. Crunden seeks to go deeper, in this anthology of prewar material. He brings together a group of authors bound by what one of them calls a concern over "the spiritual disorder of modern life--its destruction of human integrity and its lack of purpose." Contributors include academics, polemicists, and journalists: Irving Babbit, Walter Lippmann, H.L. Mencken, Albert Jay Nock, John Crowe Ransom, George Santayana, Allen Tate, and others. These "superfluous men" (the odd term is derived from Nock's influential book Memoirs of a Superfluous Man) did not consider themselves part of an inchoate conservatism, although a number of them were allied in the New Humanist and Southern agrarian movements. And although they write from decades long past, their voices rarely seem distant. Here is Donald Davidson with an antimaterialist critique of industrial progress (as personified by Henry Ford) that could apply to the roaring economy at the turn of the 21st century:
[The masses] must spend and spend unceasingly, in order to consume the never-ending stream of new products that industry hurls upon them. They will be encouraged to make a necessity of every luxury that the clever industrialists may devise. For the industry of the Ford type has not regard for actual or fundamental needs! It seeks to create two or even twenty demands where none at all existed before.
Serious students of conservatism will surely want to have a copy of The Superfluous Men on their shelves, near Russell Kirk's The Conservative Mind and George M. Nash's The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America. --John J. Miller [via]More editions of The Superfluous Men: Conservative Critics of American Culture, 1900-1945:

What's So Great About Americaby Dinesh D'SouzaISBN 0142003018 (0-14-200301-8)
Softcover, Penguin Group USA
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'What's So Great About America'Book summary:Look again at the title of this book: it's not a question, but a statement. "America is the greatest, freest, and most decent society in existence," writes Dinesh D'Souza. "American life as it is lived today [is] the best life that our world has to offer." There are those who hate it, or at least essential elements of it, from radical Islamists to the likes of Patrick Buchanan (on the right) and Jesse Jackson (on the left). But they are wrong to hate it, and D'Souza grapples with all of them in this engaging and compelling volume. D'Souza is the author of provocative books such as Illiberal Education and The End of Racism, plus the appreciative Ronald Reagan. This may be his most personal book, with parts written in the first person as the India-born D'Souza describes his encounter with the United States, first as an immigrant and now as a citizen. Foreign authors such as Alexis de Tocqueville and Gunnar Myrdal have offered some of the most penetrating assessments of America, and D'Souza clearly shares in this noble tradition. "I am constantly surprised by how much I hear racism talked about and how little I actually see it," he writes. What's So Great About America is also vintage D'Souza, full of feisty arguments and sharp humor. He is perhaps better at explaining why America's critics are wrong than explaining why America's celebrants are right, but he's very good at both. Written in the months following the September 11 terrorist strikes, this book should find a large and receptive audience. --John Miller [via]

Das Konservative Milieu: Vereinskultur Und Lokale Sammlungspolitik in Ost- Und Westdeutschen Regionen (1900-1960)by Frank BoschISBN 389244501X (3-89244-501-X)

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Das Konservative Milieu: Vereinskultur Und Lokale Sammlungspolitik in Ost- Und Westdeutschen Regionen (1900-1960)'Book summary:Der Titel des Buches überrascht, da der Milieubegriff auf die protestantisch-konservative Bevölkerungsgruppe bislang keine Anwendung fand. Dagegen sprach die kulturelle und politische Zersplitterung des konservativen Lagers, vor allem aber das Fehlen eines "gesellschaftlichen Schlüsselkonflikts", der, wie der Kulturkampf oder die Sozialistengesetze unter Katholiken und Arbeitern, zur Ausformung einer Gegenwelt mit gemeinsamen Wert- und Normensystem, gemeinsamen Organisationen und Deutungsmustern führte.
Hier setzt die Untersuchung an. Im Zuge der Kriegsniederlage, der Revolution und der Republikgründung 1918/19 sei es sehr wohl zu einer tief greifenden Umbruchssituation gekommen, konstatiert Frank Bösch. In deren Verlauf sahen sich die Konservativen einer ähnlichen Repressionserfahrung ausgesetzt wie die Katholiken und Sozialisten im frühen Kaiserreich. "Zumindest in ihrer subjektiven Erfahrung wähnten sie sich derartig vom 'Marxismus' bedroht, dass sie in Form des Milieus ihre eigene Gegenwelt ausbauten."
Am Beispiel der norddeutschen Städte Celle und Greifswald beschreibt Frank Bösch das dichte organisatorische und weltanschauliche Netzwerk dieses Milieus. Dessen Träger waren nicht in erster Linie die Parteien, sondern die zahlreichen, sich selbst als "unpolitisch" oder "bürgerlich" begreifenden Krieger-, Schützen-, Heimat- und Turnvereine. Mithilfe ihrer Vereinsfeste und -aktivitäten prägten sie das gemeinsame Weltbild vor Ort und etablierten eine gemeinsame "Sozialmoral", die auch in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus ein erstaunliches Beharrungsvermögen bewies. Nach Kriegsende konnten die neu gegründeten, konservativ ausgerichteten Parteien an dieses kommunikative Netzwerk anknüpfen und legten so den Grundstein für die späteren Wahlerfolge der CDU.
Mit dieser bemerkenswerten Studie ist Frank Bösch ein Buch gelungen, das, bei aller gebotenen Wissenschaftlichkeit, auch der historisch interessierte Laie mit Gewinn lesen wird. --Stephan Fingerle [via]

Die Moderne, Ein Unvollendetes Projekt: Philosophisch-Politische Aufsatze, 1977-1990by Jurgen HabermasISBN 3379006580 (3-379-00658-0)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Die Moderne, Ein Unvollendetes Projekt: Philosophisch-Politische Aufsatze, 1977-1990'Book summary:Es wird sich vielleicht nicht jeder, der Jürgen Habermas als einen der tiefschürfendsten Denker der zweiten Jahrhunderthälfte kennenlernen möchte, gleich dessen umfangreiches und nicht gerade einfaches Hauptwerk Die Theorie des kommunikativen Handelns vornehmen wollen. Sehr viel zugänglicher ist dieser Band mit zehn Aufsätzen und Reden (von 1977 bis 1992), der zudem die beeindruckende Vielfalt seines Schaffens als Philosoph und Gesellschaftstheoretiker offenlegt.
Ist gibt wohl kaum Themen, mit denen sich Habermas in den letzten vier Jahrzehnten nicht beschäftigt hat. In diesem Fall reicht die Palette von der Rolle der Intellektuellen in Deutschland seit Heinrich Heine bis zum Verhältnis von Wissenschafts- und Umgangssprache. Verblüffend aktuell sind seine Überlegungen zur Krise des Wohlfahrtsstaates und zum Ende der "utopischen Energien" aus dem Jahre 1984. Und nie erschöpft sich Habermas' Denken in philosophischer Gipfelstürmerei, immer geht es auch um konkrete Politik, um kritisch-demokratische Gesellschaftsgestaltung.
Seit eh und je war eines seiner Hauptthemen die Aufklärung und ihre Dialektik. Und auch wenn er die Moderne für ein unvollendetes Projekt hält, so wird er doch nicht müde, sie gegen ihre Kritiker zu verteidigen: Ebenso gegen Neokonservative wie gegen linke postmoderne "Anarchisten", zwischen denen Habermas eine gegenaufklärerische Komplizenschaft vermutet. Denn trotz der Schattenseiten von Aufklärung und Vernunft, kann das Schäbige und Zerstörerische, das mit der Moderne unleugbar in die Welt gekommen ist, nur durch diese selbst -- und keinesfalls durch irgendeinen Antirationalismus -- wieder getilgt werden.
Exemplarisch wird das z.B. in seiner Gegenüberstellung von moderner und postmoderner Architektur. Natürlich seien die Auswüchse modernen Bauens unbestreitbar, "die seelenlose Behälterarchitektur, die Spekulationsgebirge und brutalen Nachkommen der Bunkerarchitektur, die Massenproduktion von Satteldachhundehütten, die autogerechte Zerstörung der Citys usw." -- Enthüllt sich aber in diesen Scheußlichkeiten (und das kann man ebenso auf das Projekt der Moderne insgesamt beziehen) "das wahre Gesicht der Moderne, oder sind es Verfälschungen ihres wahren Geistes?" Diesem wahren Geist ist Jürgen Habermas nach wie vor auf der Spur. --Christian Stahl [via]
