Book Description
Excerpt from Francis Lieber's Influence on American Thought and Some of His Unpublished Letters Americans have been ever ready to grant that Germany has contributed in the past some of the most refined ore that has been cast into the great "melting-pot." We have known that German artisans were always in demand in America on account of their excellent training, their high ideals and their capacity to assimilate with the dominant race which they found here. Most of these German immigrants have prospered and found their happiness among us. On the other hand, Americans should not forget that Germany has also given us men of high intellectual attainments, men who have contributed their talents to America's fame as statesmen, military leaders, professors, lawyers and ministers of the Gospel. In the course of a conversation with the late Professor Marion Dexter Learned, University of Pennsylvania, the name of Francis Lieber was mentioned as one who had contributed his best efforts to America as a professor and publicist. As his youth was passed in Germany, the problem of how much America owes Germany through Lieber immediately presented itself. The following study is an attempt to solve this problem. While I was still gathering material for this monograph an untimely death overtook Professor Learned. The mature advice in the field of German-American cultural relations to which Professor Learned had devoted so much time and effort was thus denied me. To Professor Daniel B. Shumway, University of Pennsylvania, I am deeply indebted for unstinted encouragement and many helpful suggestions, for it was under his guiding hand that the study was continued and brought to print. I also wish to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Gottlieb Betz, University of Pennsylvania, for several important suggestions in respect to the arrangement of material.

Book Description
Beginning with a summary of Francis Lieber's life, this book demonstrates that the man who introduced the study of hermeneutics to the United States, applying it to practical reason, deserves an important place in the history of American hermeneutics. Catalano examines Lieber's application to practical reason, in addition to the current state of hermeneutics in both Germany and the United States. This book is indispensable to philosophers, especially those focusing on the history of U.S. philosophy.

A New Birth of Marriage
Author: Brandon DablingPublisher: University of Notre Dame Pess
ISBN: 026820196X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 349
Book Description
A New Birth of Marriage provides a history of the changes to marriage throughout the American experience and a theoretical argument for the goodness of the traditional American family in fostering private happiness and the public good. A New Birth of Marriage argues that the American Founders placed marriage as the cornerstone of republican liberty. The Founders’ vision of marriage relied on a liberalized form of marital unity that honored human equality, rights, and the beauty of intimate marital love. This vision of marriage remained largely healthy in the culture until the Progressive Era and persisted in law until the 1960s. A New Birth of Marriage vindicates the Founders’ understanding of marriage and argues that a prudential return toward this understanding is vital to America’s political health and Americans’ private happiness. Brandon Dabling argues that Founders at the state and national level shaped marriage law to reflect five vital components of marital unity: the equality and complementarity of the sexes, consent and permanence in marriage, exclusivity in marriage, marital love, and a union oriented toward procreation and childrearing. Devoting a chapter to each of these principles, A New Birth of Marriage gives a thorough account of how each tenet has been challenged and stands now vindicated in American political thought. The book provides a philosophical and political case for the beauty and vitality of each of these components to the nature of marriage and will appeal to students and scholars of marriage, family, the American founding, democracy, and liberalism.
Military Rules, Regulations and the Code of War
Author: Richard Shelly HartiganPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351505386
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
Military commanders from ancient time had set down rules and regulations to discipline their troops. From the Pharaohs on, commanders directed the strategy, tactics, and camp discipline of the often unruly hosts of soldiers under their command. They had one aim: to create an efficient fighting force. Military officers, camp-followers and cooks were all expected to perform their services according to mandate and in light of the best interests of the armed force and the fighting soldiery. Modern commanders have exemplified the same passion for military discipline to produce an effective combat machine. Military analyses derived from Roman law contained enough historical examples to fill an encyclopedia. Yet, although addressed to the problems of their day, they generally remained the private counsel of scholars and had little impact on political and military decisions. While theorists of international law were developing a body of rules to govern warfare, practitioners of conflict were largely moved by the motives of military necessity. Under the dual auspices of military necessity and national self-interest, the code of the military commander was simple: maintain a disciplined fighting force in order to achieve military victory. To remedy this gap between theory and practice, a practical guide was needed which would briefly describe for commanders in the field their rights and obligations of belligerents as custom and theory had developed them. Then political and military policy could be expected to conform to the theoretical law of nations. This was the synthesis that the Lieber code proposed. Originally published in as Lieber's Law and the Code of War, this paperback edition bears a new title that more precisely identifies the subjects covered.
