Book Description
This book focuses on the idea of a modus vivendi as a way of governing political life and addressing problems characterized by pluralism or deep-rooted diversity. The individual essays illustrate both the merits and the limitations of a political theory of modus vivendi; how it might be interpreted and developed; specific challenges entailed by articulating it in a convincing form; what its institutional implications might be; and how it relates to other seminal issues and concepts in political theory; such as legitimacy, toleration, the social contract, etc. The book makes a significant contribution to the discussion on the scope and limits of liberal political theory, and on how to deal politically with deep-rooted diversity.

Book Description
A central task in contemporary political philosophy is to identify principles governing political life where citizens disagree deeply on important questions of value and, more generally, about the proper ends of life. The distinctively liberal response to this challenge insists that the state should as far as possible avoid relying on such contested issues in its basic structure and deliberations. David McCabe critically surveys influential defenses of the liberal solution and advocates modus vivendi liberalism as an alternative defense of the liberal state. Acknowledging that the modus vivendi approach does not provide the deep moral consensus that many liberals demand, he defends the liberal state as an acceptable compromise among citizens who will continue to see it as less than ideal. His book will interest a wide range of readers in political philosophy and political theory.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
"The transcendental constant that unites us all is simply LOVE...." Within these pages you will find themes relating to hope, love, innocence, life's trials, coming of age, good and evil, aging, inspiration, reflection. In addition, there is a section dedicated to song lyrics which echo these themes. From the Preface: That which is fostered from muse to mentation, and finally to script; these renderings, insofar, that I have striven to impart, are nothing more, nor less, than the simple truth. The truth inherent in inspiration, whose origin and impetus transcend mortal clarity. From the Introduction: In the course of a life-time, we will all gain experience; forsake our innocence; and ripen to maturity. We will occupy a social class. We will age, face adversity, affect and will have been affected. Our history as a race, is fraught with cataclysm, war and discord, yet we have endured and prospered. The transcendental constant that unites us all is simply LOVE... Modus Vivendi: The greater truth; love on a global scale. An unspoken, sympathetic pact, fostering peaceful subsistence between individuals, races and cultures, despite diversity of religion, custom, belief and ideology.
