Cassirer's final work published posthumously. Morgenthau reviewed the book favorably in Ethics Jan. 1947 Vol. 57 No. 2: 'This volume is indeed a great event in political philosophy. I say advisedly 'political philosophy' and not 'history of political philosophy' for it was the unique gift of Cassirer to inspire and deepen philosophic thought by illuminating its history. There never was a less antiquarian historian than Cassirer. In truth he was not a historian of philosophy but a philosopher who used history as a vehicle for philosophic thought as others have used the aphorism or the system for the same purpose.'.

Myers and incribed 'To Hans Morgenau / With affection admiration and appreciation. / All good wishes / Bob. / June 23 75'. ix 182pp. 12mo perfectbound in red paper-over-board hardcovers. Some offsetting to the endpapers otherwise a clean sharp copy; DJ toned and shelfworn with some rubbont to the spine ends and two short tears. Robert Myers is credited as the co-creator of the American Social Security serving in the department continually from the time of his appointment by FDR in 1934 and holding the longest term as Chief Actuary of Social Security from 1947-1970. Hans Morgenthau was one of the foremost political theorists of the 20th century. He arrived in the US in 1937 as a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany going on to a distinguished carreer with appointments and professorships at numberous prestigious institutions including Yale Harvard Columbia California and the University of Chicago. Morgenthau's outsize impact on the study of international relations in the West cannot be underestimated. His 'Political Realism' theory was immensely influential in American Politics notably gaining purchase in his consultancy for Truman Eisenhower and Kennedy as well as in his protege Henry Kissinger. Dubbing him 'the Pope of Realism' Stanley Hoffman writes 'If our discipline has any founding father it is Mortenthau.' William Scheuerman writes 'Morgenthau's intellectual agenda effectively dominated the scholarly study of international relations in the United States well into the 1970's. Not only did Morgenthau write two of postwar Realism's most influential books Politics Among Nations and In Defense of the National Interest but he penned about a dozen others as well as hundreds of scholarly articles on an astonishing range of topics. Unlike most academics Morgenthau also became a much sought-after public intellectual and his oftentimes pithy commentaries on foreign affairs appeared regularly in popular magazines and journals as well as newspapers like the New York Times from the 1950s onwards.'.

1971ref. 509842Random House 1971. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. VERY GOOD/Good. SIGNED by co-author Marcus Raskin and inscribed to political philosopher Hans Morgenthau: 'For Hans With love and respect for who you are what you've done and what you will do. Signed Marc Raskin / Sept. 1971.' x 2 374pp. Sewn binding in black cloth over boards. Silver gilt-titled spine and blindstamped title to front cover. Marcus Raskin's signature and inscription to FFEP. DJ sunned at spine and edges. Small tears along DJ edges. Small crack in DJ spine not impacting integrity of DJ. Smudge to top edge of pages. Otherwise pages and covers clean and unmarked. Raskin was the author of many books and the founder of the progressive thinktank Institute for Policy Studies. Washington Plans an Aggressive War--written at the height of the conflict in Vietnam--'is a view of what happened in the Vietnam war why it happened and what steps need to be taken to prevent it from happening again . the war was no accident ; it was not the result of incalculable errors but was rather the consequence of calculable plans and decisions to proceed with them.' In laying out their case the authors make extensive use of 'The Pentagon Papers' -- Raskin was one of the first recipients of copies from Daniel Ellsberg of the 7000-page top-secret history of US involvement in Vietnam. His heartfelt inscription to Hans Morgenthau makes for a very special association. Following his landmark works Scientific Man vs. Power Politics and Politics among Nations Morgenthau had become one of the most prominent political theorists in America. He was sought out as an advisor by the Kennedy administration but his outspoken criticism of US policy in Vietnam led to his ouster by LBJ. He continued as one of the most prominent critics throughout the duration of the war. PROVENANCE: From Hans Morgenthau's daughter Susanna Morgenthau. Random House hardcover

1968ref. 509830William Morrow & Co 1968. First Edition. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. NEAR FINE/NEAR FINE. SIGNED and inscribed by the editor Richard Kostelanetz to contributor Hans Morgenthau: 'd. Sept. 1968 / For Hans Morgenthau / Who brought a European intelligence perhaps conservative to radical American problems / with much appreciation and best wishes / signed Richard Kostalenetz.' xli 436pp. Sewn binding in black spine cloth over green paper-over-boards with white orange and green spine lettering. Very clean fresh copy with just a bit of wear to spine head; DJ tips with some trivial rubbing and 1mm tear to rear head at the flap crease. Kostelanetz is a poet artist and critic with a prolific publishing history beginning with numerous edited collections early in his career--this one being his fourth compiled at the age of 28. He contributes a lengthy introduction with an optimistic and fairly utopian outlook on the promise of new technology and informed planning for the betterment of society. The choice of Morgenthau is a somewhat surprising one: as the inscription hints the question of his essential conservatism remains debated today. While his insistence on the tragic character of human nature led him to distrust many progressive projects he was also consistently critical of reactionary which sought only 'stability' as a goal. Morgenthau enjoyed some temporary status among radicals in the 60's due to his early criticism of US Vietnam Policy with which his essay for the present volume deals. Political scholar Jennifer See writes '"Morgenthau in fact played an important role in opening public space for opposition to the Vietnam War. He was one of the first to perceive the dangers the United States faced; to expose the fallacies of applying Cold War assumptions to Southeast Asia's revolutionary anticolonial realities; and most importantly to express his views publicly. In light of recent scholarship on the war some may find his predictions prophetic." "Prophet Without Honor: Hans Morgenthau and the War in Vietnam 1955-1965". William Morrow & Co hardcover

With publisher's original plain brown dust jacket quite brittle and tattered; original plain slipcase present in a tattered state as well. Provenance: From Hans Morgenthau's daughter Susanna Morgenthau. The penciling matches that of the dozens of other books we have cataloged from his library. The Catholic jurist and political philosopher Carl Schmitt was one of the most influential political thinkers of the 20th Century in no small part for his role in establishing the ideological underpinnings of the Third Reich. He was unavoidably a key interlocutor for all German political scholars of the Weimar Era including Hans Morgenthau who would go on to become one of the most influential political thinkers of the 20th century in his own right from a much different but related vantage point.William Scheuerman writes 'the young Hans Morgenthau was involved in an intense 'hidden dialogue' with Carl Schmitt twentieth-century Germany’s most significant right-wing authoritarian political thinker.' 'Although committed to a sociologically minded analysis of international law shaped by left-wing Weimar legal thought the young Morgenthau turned early on to the work of the right-wing authoritarian thinker Carl Schmitt in order to develop his realistic or sociological approach. Morgenthau's precocious fascination with Schmitt though at first glance surprising is by no means difficult to fathom. Other members of the Sinzheimer School - including Ernst Frankel and Franz Neumann - similarly pursued a close and at times surprisingly sympathetic examination of Schmitt's work during the 1930s. Like Morgenthau they vociferously criticized his extreme right-wing political preferences while acknowledging that Schmitt offered the outlines of a realistic i.e. power-oriented vision of politics too often missing from mainstream jurisprudence and legal positivism. Morgenthau's early writings highlighted deep flaws in Schmitt's thinking not only denouncing his political choices but ultimately describing his theory as fundamentally unsound. Yet he credited Schmitt with acknowledging the need for precisely that realistic account of power relations in the international arena which legal orthodoxy had failed to deliver. Like Morgenthau Schmitt had long been skeptical of mainstream international law which he analogously interpreted as veiling the brutal realities of inequality at the international level. Morgenthau initially appears to have identified Schmitt's theory despite its weaknesses and troublesome political orientation as a potentially useful source of insights for his own alternative theory of international law. Morgenthau's first mention of Schmitt in 1929 . offered a critical response to a widely read 1927 essay by Schmitt in which the right-wing theorist had defined the political as constituting a fundamentally distinct and independent sphere of activity existing alongside alternative modes of human activity. In Schmitt's initial formulation morality concerned the problem of good and bad aesthetics was occupied with the distinction between beautiful and ugly economics was preoccupied with profitability and unprofitability whereas only politics concerned the contrast between what Schmitt famously described as friend and foe. The young Morgenthau astutely diagnosed the Achilles' heel of this position: Schmitt's exposition misleadingly implied that political activity was limited to a pre-given set of objects or concerns thereby obscuring the possibility that any conceivable sphere of activity could take on political qualities. In its stead Morgenthau proposed that politics be described as 'a characteristic quality or coloration which any substance can take on' IRWG 67. The distinctive attribute of political activity was captured best by focusing on the degree of intensity of the conflict at hand. Although drawing their substantive concerns from any of a host of moral aesthetic and economic arenas of human activity identifiably political concerns were those in which a high degree of intensity of conflict had surfaced IRWG 69. Even though he admitted the difficulty of determining at what specific juncture a particular conflict had become intense and thus authentically political Morgenthau insisted that his alternative model of intensity offered a superior way of capturing the distinctive traits of political life. In his view politics was never an either/or state of affairs but always a matter of degree necessarily depending on how intense - and potentially violent - a conflict had become. Schmitt apparently agreed. As Morgenthau noted in his 1978 autobiographical reflections Schmitt subsequently 'changed the second 1932 edition of the Concept of the Political in the light of the new propositions of my thesis without lifting the veil of anonymity from their author.'47 In fact Schmitt's 1932 study dropped the misleading imagery of politics as a distinct or separate sphere instead following Morgenthau's conceptualization of politics as concerning conflicts characterized by intense enmity. Yet Schmitt never bothered to acknowledge his debts to the young left-leaning Jewish Morgenthau. For a politically upwardly mobile right-wing thinker busy cultivating influence with Germany's rising authoritarian political groupings such an admission would have been incon-venient. In his 1978 comments Morgenthau went so far as to accuse Schmitt of having engaged in mean-spirited plagiarism. He recounted a humiliating 1929 meeting with Schmitt in which Morgenthau hoped to discuss their shared interest in the political only to encounter a calculating mean-spirited careerist: 'when I walked down the stairs from Schmitt's apartment I stopped on the landing between his and the next floor and said to myself: 'Now I have met the most evil man alive.' Schmitt's subsequent kowtowing to the Nazis apparently did not take Morgenthau by surprise.' Morgenthau: Key Contemporary Thinkers 32-34. Duncker & Humboldt hardcover
