Book Description
Excerpt from The Philosophy of Right, Vol. 2 of 2: With Special Reference to the Principles and Development of Law Hitherto we have had under view the objects of ethics as a whole, considered from the juridical side. This ethical whole is realised by man individually and in society. Man is naturally sociable; and this truth, seen by Aristotle and by the great philosophers of antiquity, has been vainly contested by Hobbes, Rousseau, and their followers. The isolated individual is an abstraction; his tory presents only families, tribes, races, peoples, or states. Hence we shall consider the individual not as a whole in himself, but as in relation with the whole. Leibniz was the first to put the principle of continuity into its true light, but Aristotle had already foreshadowed it in his treatise on the soul (de Animal). The Stagirite seeks the soul not only in man and the animals, but in the entire world wherever life is manifested, that is to say, in the succession and continuous gradation of the organic forces. He shows it to us on the lowest stage in the plants with a single faculty, that of nutrition; then in the animal, which acts with sensation and locomotion; and lastly in man, in whom it rises to thought and to reason.

Common Good Politics
Author: Colin TylerPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319324047
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
This book examines the British tradition of common good politics, both historically and in the contemporary world. We live in a time when many anti-Conservative parties and voters feel a profound sense of crisis and disorientation over political principles and policy directions. As a result, many people are turning to common good politics as an alternative to state-centred socialism and laissez-faire individualism. Colin Tyler explores the practical and intellectual history of the British idealist tradition, which flourished from the 1870s to the 1920s, before applying the principles of common good politics to contemporary issues. These issues include the positive roles that can be played by conflict within democratic societies, the radical demands of social justice in a diverse world, the continuing influence of Bush’s ‘war on terror’, international society and free speech under Tony Blair and David Cameron, and the relationships between economic migration, social justice and the common good. The book will appeal particularly to students and scholars interested in British politics, internationalism and political theory.
Hegel
Author: Ware Robert B. WarePublisher: Edinburgh University Press
ISBN: 1474473407
Category : PHILOSOPHY
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Hegel's philosophy has often been misunderstood. This volume offers a new interpretation of Hegel's thought, challenging traditional readings and reconsidering Hegel in terms of his understanding of his own philosophy. Robert Bruce Ware shows why Hegel believed that in grasping the essence of its age, a philosophy also indicates the direction of subsequent intellectual development. Contrary to received interpretations, Ware argues that the significance of Hegel's philosophy could not have been fully appreciated prior to the dramatic intellectual developments that have characterised the twentieth century. This interpretation involves a hermeneutic reciprocity, whereby Hegel on the one hand provides a philosophical foundaton for contemporary developments, while at the same time the latter assist in the clarification of Hegel's philosophy. The result is not only a clearer understanding of Hegel, but a deeper insight into the intellectual revolutions of our day. This book is unique in connecting Hegel to the tradition of analytic philosophy though the foundations of mathematical logic. Though these would seem to be unlikely companions, the author show that they serve to illuminate one another. Ware's application of set theory does much to clarify some of Hegel's more difficult claims, while remaining fully accessible to the non-specialised reader and engaging to a broad philosophical audience.

Hegel's Logic
Author: Clark ButlerPublisher: Northwestern University Press
ISBN: 9780810114265
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
Clark Butler presents an innovative analysis of Hegel's most challenging work in Hegel's Logic—the first major English-language treatment of Hegel's Science of Logic to appear in nearly fifteen years. Although earlier commentators on the Logic have considered standard analytical philosophy-and with it modern logic-in opposition to Hegel. Butler views it as a legitimate approach in terms of which Hegel needs to be understood. This interpretation allows him to address the rigor of Hegel's thought on several levels as at once an exercise in purely conceptual redefinition and a full-bodied work in metaphysical ontology and even theology. The result is an account of the Logic intelligible to analytical philosophers as well as non-specialists.

Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
The author examines the nature and rights inherent in domestic society, which forms the second of the two great societies structured for the unification of the human race. He sees sexual union primarily as an act of the soul in which, through the bodies of husband and wife, mutual communication of life takes place. Parental society is a natural consequence of conjugal society. Antonio Rosmini treats in detail the various kinds of relationship which exists between father and mother, and between parents and children.

Francis Fukuyama and the End of History
Author: Howard WilliamsPublisher: University of Wales Press
ISBN: 1783168781
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
Fukuyama’s concept of the End of History has been one of the most widely debated theories of international politics since the end of the Cold War. This book discusses Fukuyama’s claim that liberal democracy alone is able to satisfy the human aspiration for freedom and dignity, and explores the way in which his thinking is part of a philosophical tradition which includes Kant, Hegel and Marx. Two new chapters in this second edition discuss the ways in which Fukuyama’s thinking has developed – they include his celebrated and controversial criticism of neoconservatism and his complex intellectual relationship to Samuel Huntington, whose Clash of Civilization thesis he rejects but whose notion of political decay is central to his more recent work. The authors here argue that Fukuyama’s continuing fundamental contributions to debates concerning the spread of democracy and threat of global terror mark him out as one of the most important thinkers of the twenty-first century.
