réf. A9780367739232Paperback / softback. New. Authoritarianism research has evolved into one of the fastest growing research fields in comparative politics. The newly awakened interest in autocratic regimes goes hand in hand with a lack of systematic research on the results of the political and substantive policy performance of variants of autocratic regimes. The contributions in this second volume of Comparing Autocracies are united by the assumption that the performance of political regimes and their persistence are related. Furthermore autocratic institutions and the specific configurations of elite actors within authoritarian regime coalitions induce dictators to undertake certain policies and that different authoritarian institutions are therefore an important piece of the puzzle of government performance in dictatorships. Based on these two prepositions the contributions explore the differences between autocracies and democracies as well as between different forms of non-democratic regimes in regard to their outcome performance in selected policy fields; how political institutions affect autocratic performance and persistence; whether policy performance matter for the persistence of authoritarian rule; and what happens to dictators once autocratic regimes fall. This book is an amalgam of articles from the journals Democratization Contemporary Politics and Politische Vierteljahresschrift. paperback

1999réf. BK-VGU8N8Lexington Books 1999-01-01. 1. Softcover. collectible_like_new. We are currently witnessing an increasingly influential counterrevolution in political theory evident in the dialectical return to classical political science pioneered most prominently by Leo Strauss and Eric Voegelin. In this context the work of the relatively unknown Aurel Kolnai is of great importance. Kolnai was one of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century to place the restoration of common-sense evaluation and philosophical realism at the center of his philosophical and political itinerary. In this volume Daniel J. Mahoney presents Kolnai's major writings in political philosophy writings that explore - in ways that are diverse but complementary - Kolnai's critique of progressive or egalitarian democracy. The title essay contains Kolnai's fullest account of the limits of liberty understood as emancipation from traditional natural or divine restraints. 'The Utopian Mind ' a pr cis of Kolnai's critique of utopianism in a posthumous book of the same title appears here for the first time. 'Conservative and Revolutionary Ethos ' Kolnai's remarkable 1972 essay comparing conservative and revolutionary approaches to political life appears for the first time in English translation. The volume also includes a critically sympathetic evaluation of Michael Oakeshott's Rationalism in Politics and an incisive criticism of Jacques Maritain's efforts to synthesize Christian orthodoxy and progressive politics. Privilege and Liberty and Other Essays in Political Philosophy is a searching critique of political utopianism as well as a pathbreaking articulation of conservative constitutionalism as the true support for human liberty properly understood. It is a major contribution to Christian and conservative political reflection in our time. Lexington Books paperback

2008réf. BK-R9XFUYTransaction Publishers 2008. 2008 Transaction. Softcover. collectible_like_new. Collectors copy - unread - like new Ethics Value and Reality is a collection of essays written after Kolnai settled in England in 1955. These essays from Kolnai's mature years sit atop a remarkable gestation of moral and political thinking. At the heart of his thought is the special role of privilege in a good social order. Kolnai relies heavily on the work of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century value theorists such as Alexius Meinong Nicolai Hartmann and Max Scheler. He blends this continental tradition of ethics with British intuitionism and Scottish Enlightenment articulations. For Kolnai ethical life cannot be adequately understood except by reference to moral emphasis and thus Kolnai can be thought of as a liberal conservative. He acknowledges myriad values moral and non-moral and accepts that all can have some claim upon us. Low values as much as high values have a legitimate claim. His is a tolerant conservatism though not for a moment does he forgo the necessity of judgment: a readily graspable hierarchy keeps the respective demands of values in proportion. Kolnai welcomes the call to seriousness which is the hallmark of existentialism. The ground of Kolnai's thought is the idea of emotion as cognitive. He saw the typical analytical philosopher's fascination with simplicity of explanation not only thoroughly refuted by the gains in understanding wrought by phenomenological method with its deference to the richness of phenomena but sensed in the monistic inclination he dreaded a harbinger of totalitarianism. Never denying his emotionalism he nonetheless made his points well enough by adopting an analytical approach to philosophy and ethics. This is a major work crossing moral and political philosophy. Aurel Kolnai 1900-1973 was Visiting Lecturer in Ethics at Bedford College at the University of London from 1959 until his death. He was best known for his moral philosophy. It combined elements of ethics with a unique phenomenological method. His methods contributed greatly to the fields of moral theory particularly in regards to responsibility and free will right and wrong the role of moral emotions and the universality of ethical norms. Bernard Williams 1929-2003 was Deutsch Professor of Philosophy at the University of California Berkeley. David Wiggins is Emeritus Wyckeham Professor of Logic at Oxford University. Graham McAleer is professor of philosophy and co-chair of the Catholic Social Thought Committee at Loyola College in Maryland. Transaction Publishers paperback
