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.'.

Unusually Direct And Somewhat Acidic Commentary On The Title Subject By A Leading Professor Of Political Science At The University Of Chicago. Book With Wear Spine Gilt Worn But Nearly Complete Except For Loss Of Most Of Publisher's Logo And Name Small Ink "K" In Corner Of Front Pastedown. Per Wikipedia Morgenthau's Scientific Man Versus Power Politics 1946 Argued Against An Overreliance On Science And Technology As Solutions To Political And Social Problems. The Book Presented A "Pessimistic View Of Human Nature" Centered On A Universal Lust For Power And The Inevitability Of Selfishness. Hans Joachim Morgenthau 1904 - 1980 Was A German-American Jurist And Political Scientist Who Was One Of The Major 20Th-Century Figures In The Study Of International Relations. Morgenthau's Works Belong To The Tradition Of Realism In International Relations Theory; He Is Usually Considered Among The Most Influential Realists Of The Post-World War Ii Period. Morgenthau Made Landmark Contributions To International Relations Theory And The Study Of International Law. In 1933 Morgenthau Published A Second Book In French La Notion Du "Politique" Which Was Translated Into English And Published In 2012 As The Concept Of The Political. In This Book Morgenthau Seeks To Articulate The Difference Between Legal Disputes Between Nations And Political Disputes Between Nations Or Other Litigants. The Questions Driving The Inquiry Are: I Who Holds Legal Power Over The Objects Or Concerns Being Disputed Ii In What Manner Can The Holder Of This Legal Power Be Changed Or Held Accountable Iii How Can A Dispute The Object Of Which Concerns A Legal Power Be Resolved And Iv In What Manner Will The Holder Of The Legal Power Be Protected In The Course Of Exercising That Power For Morgenthau The End Goal Of Any Legal System In This Context Is To "Ensure Justice And Peace". In His Work In The 1920S And 1930S Morgenthau Sought A "Functional Jurisprudence" An Alternative To Mainstream International Law. He Borrowed Ideas From Sigmund Freud Max Weber Roscoe Pound And Others. In 1940 Morgenthau Set Out A Research Program For Legal Functionalism In The Article "Positivism Functionalism And International Law". Francis Boyle Has Written That Morgenthau's Post-War Writings Perhaps Contributed To A "Break Between International Political Science And International Legal Studies."30 However Politics Among Nations Contains A Chapter On International Law And Morgenthau Remained An Active Contributor To The Subject Of The Relationship Between International Politics And International Law Until The End Of His Career.His Politics Among Nations First Published In 1948 Went Through Five Editions During His Lifetime And Was Widely Adopted As A Textbook In U.S. Universities. While Morgenthau Emphasized The Centrality Of Power And "The National Interest" The Subtitle Of Politics Among Nations-"The Struggle For Power And Peace"-Indicates His Concern Not Only With The Struggle For Power But Also With The Ways In Which It Is Limited By Ethical And Legal Norms. In Addition To His Books Morgenthau Wrote Widely About International Politics And U.S. Foreign Policy For General-Circulation Publications Such As The New Leader Commentary Worldview The New York Review Of Books And The New Republic. He Knew And Corresponded With Many Of The Leading Intellectuals And Writers Of His Era Such As Reinhold Niebuhr George F. Kennan Carl Schmitt And Hannah Arendt. At One Point In The Early Cold War Morgenthau Was A Consultant To The U.S. Department Of State When Kennan Headed Its Policy Planning Staff As Well As A Second Time During The Kennedy And Johnson Administrations Until He Was Dismissed By Johnson When He Began To Publicly Criticize American Policy In Vietnam. For Most Of His Career However Morgenthau Was Esteemed As An Academic Interpreter Of U.S. Foreign Policy. University Of Chicago Press hardcover

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

This work written by Henry Morgenthau Jr. 1891-1967 while serving as the Secretary of the Treasury for President Franklin D. Roosevelt details his plan for the occupation of Germany after World War II. His proposal sought to eliminate the war-making potential of Germany for all time through territorial dismemberment and deindustrialization. The Morgenthau Plan guided the early German occupation but was scrapped in favor of the Marshall Plan. Historians believe that full-scale deindustrialization of Germany would have resulted in the starvation of 25 million German citizens. When word of this ominous plan leaked to Goebbels in the latter stages of WWII he exploited it to stiffen German resistance thus extending the war and adding to the American casualty count. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall . hardcover

Rare. The controversial plan for Germany post-WWII first announced by US Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau in 1944 which called for the immediate total deindustrialization of the country with a focus on extracting reparations for its wrongdoings during the war as well as its forced political and economic decentralization and transformation into a pastoral society. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt OK'd it only to regret it when the plan was vigorously decried at home and abroad. The Marshall Plan was adopted instead under Truman and efforts to deindustrialize and decartelize the Germany economy were limited. Harper & Brothers, Publishers unknown
