Man Is by Nature a Political Animal
Author: Peter K. Hatemi
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226319113
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
In Man Is by Nature a Political Animal, Peter K. Hatemi and Rose McDermott bring together a diverse group of contributors to examine the ways in which evolutionary theory and biological research are increasingly informing analyses of political behavior. Focusing on the theoretical, methodological, and empirical frameworks of a variety of biological approaches to political attitudes and preferences, the authors consider a wide range of topics, including the comparative basis of political behavior, the utility of formal modeling informed by evolutionary theory, the genetic bases of attitudes and behaviors, psychophysiological methods and research, and the wealth of insight generated by recent research on the human brain. Through this approach, the book reveals the biological bases of many previously unexplained variances within the extant models of political behavior. The diversity of methods discussed and variety of issues examined here will make this book of great interest to students and scholars seeking a comprehensive overview of this emerging approach to the study of politics and behavior.

Aldous Huxley
Author: Alessandro Maurini
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 1498513786
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
Aldous Huxley: The Political Thought of a Man of Letters argues that Huxley is not a man of letters engaged in politics, but a political thinker who chooses literature to spread his ideas. His preference for the dystopian genre is due to his belief in the tremendous impact of dystopia on twentieth-century political thought. His political thinking is not systematic, but this does not stop his analysis from supplying elements that are original and up-to-date, and that represent fascinating contributions of political theory in all the spheres that he examines from anti-Marxism to anti-positivism, from political realism to elitism, from criticism of mass society to criticism of totalitarianism, from criticism of ideologies to the future of liberal democracy, from pacifism to ecological communitarianism. Huxley clearly grasped the unsolved issues of contemporary liberalism, and the importance of his influence on many twentieth-century and present-day political thinkers ensures that his ideas remain indispensable in the current liberal-democratic debate. Brave New World is without doubt Huxley’s most successful political manifesto. While examining the impassioned struggle for the development of all human potentialities, it yet manages not to close the doors definitively on the rebirth of utopia in the age of dystopia.

Political Philosophy 3
Author: Luc Ferry
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 9780226244730
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
What is the common element linking the right to health care and the right of free speech, the right to leisure and the right of free association, the right to work and the right to be protected? Debates on the rights of man abound in the media today, but all too often they remain confused and fail to recognize the fundamental political conceptions on which they hinge. Several French theorists have recently attempted a new account of rights, one that would replace the discredited Marxist view of rights as mere formalities concealing the realities of class domination. In this final volume of Political Philosophy, Luc Ferry and Alain Renaut summarize these efforts and put forward their own set of arguments.

The Democracy Sourcebook
Author: Robert A. Dahl
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 9780262541473
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 580
Book Description
The Democracy Sourcebook offers a collection of classic writings and contemporary scholarship on democracy, creating a book that can be used by undergraduate and graduate students in a wide variety of courses, including American politics, international relations, comparative politics, and political philosophy. The editors have chosen substantial excerpts from the essential theorists of the past, including Jean-Jacques Rousseau, John Stuart Mill, Alexis de Tocqueville, and the authors of The Federalist Papers; they place them side by side with the work of such influential modern scholars as Joseph Schumpeter, Adam Przeworski, Seymour Martin Lipset, Samuel P. Huntington, Ronald Dworkin, and Amartya Sen. The book is divided into nine self-contained chapters: "Defining Democracy," which discusses procedural, deliberative, and substantive democracy; "Sources of Democracy," on why democracy exists in some countries and not in others; "Democracy, Culture, and Society," about cultural and sociological preconditions for democracy; "Democracy and Constitutionalism," which focuses on the importance of independent courts and a bill of rights; "Presidentialism versus Parliamentarianism"; "Representation," discussing which is the fairest system of democratic accountability; "Interest Groups"; "Democracy's Effects," an examination of the effect of democracy on economic growth and social inequality; and finally, "Democracy and the Global Order" discusses the effects of democracy on international relations, including the propensity for war and the erosion of national sovereignty by transnational forces.

All Too Human
Author: George Stephanopoulos
Publisher: Back Bay Books
ISBN: 0316041920
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
All Too Human is a new-generation political memoir, written from the refreshing perspective of one who got his hands on the levers of awesome power at an early age. At thirty, the author was at Bill Clinton's side during the presidential campaign of 1992, & for the next five years he was rarely more than a step away from the president & his other advisers at every important moment of the first term. What Liar's Poker did to Wall Street, this book will do to politics. It is an irreverent & intimate portrait of how the nation's weighty business is conducted by people whose egos & idiosyncrasies are no sturdier than anyone else's. Including sharp portraits of the Clintons, Al Gore, Dick Morris, Colin Powell, & scores of others, as well as candid & revelatory accounts of the famous debacles & triumphs of an administration that constantly went over the top, All Too Human is, like its author, a brilliant combination of pragmatic insight & idealism. It is destined to be the most important & enduring book to come out of the Clinton administration.

Book Description
Foggy Environment All ARound, Evan Things A Little Father Away Can't be Seen We Because of The Fog It is as if darkness has spread all around. I am Hanif, now it is winter so I woke up a little late. It was very cold but the atmosphere was good. The trees on that side of the pond are not well visible. I washed my hands and face with a brush and went home slowly. The birds are chirping a lot, but it doesn't feel bad. Younger brother Jubayer went to Maktab to read Qur'an. . I saw my mother and sister-in-law making the cake and also my old lady. The old woman did not understand the meaning, so she is my darling little sister. Always keeps the house drunk. If the old woman is not there, it means there is no one in the house. I call her old woman. . Brother went to the market to bring the necessary things. Grandma is sunbathing outside. I am the only unemployed boy in this house whose only job is to gossip and chat. . Brother, the old woman is coming here, what happened to Kiri, let's eat the cake now or later. I will bring chocolate for you but otherwise there is news that you are coming to call Issus so chocolate. Hmmm, let's go to Anban and have fun. Steamed cake is my favorite so I ate a little too much. . Then it's my turn to talk to my grandmother. I like to talk to my grandmother. I say the new ones are good and the old people are good because they are grandmothers. It feels good to argue with both of them. I know people in the old days were very good. But I made myself big to argue with my grandmother. . Then I went to water my jaba flower. Today the tree looks strangely beautiful. Sunlight on dew-soaked leaves, a sight to behold. After giving water, I sat at my study table to do housework. Now the fog is fairly gone. Brother has also come home. Returned from Jubayer and Maktab. Now it's time to eat cake. I ate cake with everyone again and heard a great story about this steamed cake which was told by my grandmother. After eating, he went out to work. Description of a winter morning or a winter morning Introduction: Although winter means the months of Poush and Magh, the arrival of winter actually starts at the beginning of the month of Agrahayan. Towards the end of Poush, the incidence of winter intensifies, but it lasts till the month of Falgun. Usually when the crop is harvested at this time, a festive weather can be noticed all around. Although it is overwhelmed during the winter, there is a special ambiance in the winter morning. That's why winter is preferred by everyone.
