New Mexico's Quest for Statehood, 1846-1912
Author: Robert W. LarsonPublisher: UNM Press
ISBN: 0826329470
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
Why did New Mexico remain so long in political limbo before being admitted to the Union as a state? Combining extensive research and a clear and well-organized style, Robert W. Larson provides the answers to this question in a thorough and comprehensive account of the territory’s extraordinary six-decade struggle for statehood. This book is no mere chronology of political moves, however. It is the history of a turbulent frontier state, sweeping into the current almost every colorful character of the territory. Not only politicians but ranchers, outlaws, soldiers, newspapermen, Indians, merchants, lawyers, and people from every walk of life were involved. This is a book for the reader who is interested in any aspect of southwestern territorial history.
Principle and Prudence in Western Political Thought
Author: Christopher LynchPublisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 1438461259
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
Reflections on principle and prudence in the thoughts and actions of great thinkers and statesmen. Discussions of the place of moral principle in political practice are haunted by the abstract and misleading distinction between realism and its various principled or idealist alternatives. This volume argues that such discussions must be recast in terms of the relationship between principle and prudence: as Nathan Tarcov maintains, that relationship is not dichotomous but complementary. In a substantive introduction, the editors investigate Leo Strausss attack on contemporary political thought for its failure to account for both principle and prudence in politics. Leading commentators then reflect on principle and prudence in the writings of great thinkers such as Homer, Machiavelli, and Hegel, and in the thoughts and actions of great statesmen such as Pericles, Jefferson, and Lincoln. In a concluding section, contributors reassess Strausss own approach to principle and prudence in the history of political philosophy. Principle and Prudence in Western Political Thought contains a series of first-rate essays on aif not thecentral problem of political thought: how should and can abstract and general principles inform contingent, particularistic political life. Catherine H. Zuckert, coauthor of Leo Strauss and the Problem of Political Philosophy
