Book Description
This work is an essential introduction to the vast body of writing about history, from classical Greece and Rome to the contemporary world. M.C. Lemon maps out key debates and central concepts of philosophy of history placing principal thinkers in the context of their times and schools of thought. Lemon explains the crucial differences between speculative philosophy as an n enquiry into the course and meaning of history and analytic philosophy of history as relating to the nature and methods of history as a discipline. After providing a guide to the principal thinkers from pre-historical times to the present, the book goes on to present a critical summary of the leading issues raised by critical theorists of history, incorporating topics such as objectivity, ideology, historical explanation and narrative.
Book Description
Politicians invoke grand ideas: social justice, democracy, liberty, equality,community. But what do these ideas really mean? How can politicians across the political spectrum appeal to the same values?This revised and expanded edition of Political Philosophy: A Beginner's Guide for Students and Politicians, answers these important questions. Accessible and lively, the book is an ideal student text, but it also brings the insights of the world's leading political philosophers to a wide general audience. Using plenty of examples, it equips readers to think for themselves about the ideas that shape political life.Democracy works best when both politicians and voters move beyond rhetoric to think clearly and carefully about the political principles that should govern their society. But clear thinking is difficult in an age when established orthodoxies have fallen by the wayside. Bringing political philosophy out of the ivory tower and within the reach of all, this book provides us with tools to cut through the complexities of modern politics. In so doing, it makes a valuable contribution to the democratic process.

For anyone seeking to prepare themselves to cast a well-informed vote in elections........2007-04-10
Now in a revised and expanded second edition featuring a new chapter specifically about democracy, Political Philosophy: A Beginners' Guide for Students and Politicians by Adam Swift (Fellow in Politics and Sociology, Balliol College) is a highly accessible text for students, lay readers, and novice political philosophers concerning basic political principles that are used to govern society. Chapters describe and discuss philosophical constructs such as social justice, liberty, equality, community, and democracy, and especially dissect common misperceptions and assumptions concerning the denotative meaning of certain principles and labels. Laden with examples designed to prompt the reader to think long and hard concerning what political concepts such as "social justice" truly mean, Political Philosophy is enthusiastically recommended not just for students, but for anyone seeking to prepare themselves to cast a well-informed vote in elections.

Flawed is Not the Word for It.......2006-12-29
Would you trust a film critic who thought that every film made since the end of the silent era was junk? How about a literary critic who dismissed everything published since the Victorian Era as a waste of time? If you agree with me that such critics are hidebound and parochial and best ignored, then you're going to save the time it would take to read "A Student's Guide to Philosophy."
As an introduction to philosophy for the newcomer this book is hopelessly inadequate. The author purports to believe that people interested in philosophy should get back to basics and read Plato and Aristotle. Fair enough. But then he goes on to trash virtually all philosophy from Descartes onwards, attacks Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy concerning a decision on abortion, and you start to realize that this is not your average tyro's guide to philosophy. This is a highly biased (if bigoted is not the word) Catholic tract that basically wants to claim that every knotty problem in philosophy can be solved by relying solely on Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas -- as well as, presumably, doing everything the pope tells you to do.
If denial of the last four hundred years or so of philosophy is your idea of a good time, or if you're the kind of Catholic who just mindlessly follows the Pope's orders no matter how absurd or illogical (and most of the Catholics I know are much smarter than that), than this book is for you. But if you have half a brain and would like an adequate and reliable introduction to the subject of philosophy (and not just that portion of it that Thomists deem acceptable), I would try Kenny or Copleston or just about anyone else, because this book is a laughable failure (the Bibliographical Essay, written not by the author but by Joshua P. Hochschild, is pretty good, but even that does some special pleading for books written by the author).
If you're just starting out and you want to learn about philosophy you can do a lot better than this.
A traditional natural-law philosophy.......2006-02-27
Since the trauma of World War I Western culture has become sympathetic to subjective relativism and unsympathetic to objective morals: In his Preface to Morals (1929) Walter Lippmann called belief in the objectivity of good and evil the "pathetic fallacy." In his The Modern Temper (1929), Joseph Wood Krutch described emerging moral relativism and uncertainty in the 1920's, which viewed traditional morals, religious beliefs and intellectual certainties as myths that have been unmasked by advances in modern science. And in his Only Yesterday (1931), Frederick Lewis Allen wrote that 1920's-era relativism was reinforced by Einstein and Heisenberg, who had brought relativism and uncertainty into physics.
Do you believe that the Nuremberg trials of the Nazis were just the victors imposing their peculiar cultural values on the vanquished? If your answer is "yes", then you maintain a relativist view of morality. Do you believe that if the Nazis had won World War II, then it would be true to say that Jews are not persons but are merely vermin to be exterminated? If so, then you maintain a relativist view of truth. And you may also be sympathetic to the "pro-choice" view of abortion, which is based in subjectivist relativism.
On the other hand if your answers to the above questions are "no", then you are not sympathetic to relativism. And you may be interested in this book, A Student's Guide to Philosophy, by Notre Dame philosopher Ralph McInerny. Its author views Western philosophy from the perspective of the philosophies of Aristotle and Aquinas.
Much of academic philosophy - including what I found while at Notre Dame University - is an irrelevant pedantic game. But this book is an authentic philosophy book by an author who believes in the philosophy he writes about. In my vividly recalled personal experience as a student in McInerny's classes I found him an authentic and ingenuous philosopher. I am not of Scholastic persuasion, but I rate this book at 5 stars.
Right Wing Propaganda Disguised as Scholarship.......2005-10-17
I just finished "A Students Guide to Philosophy" by Ralph McInerny and what a disappointment! I wish I would have checked the publishers website ([...]) before I opened this book. This book is a thinly guised attempt to pedal right wing propaganda. The tip off is section entitlked, "Fact/Value Split" where the author refers to "infamous Kennedy decision", referring to Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy's decision on abortion. I should have stopped reading there, but once I start a book I finish it through. The book puports to be a "Students Guide", but it is nothing of the sort. It is fraudulently trying to pass itself off as an academic book. Don't waste your time reading this trash, pick up Will Durant's "The Story of Philosophy" instead.
Biased and propagandistic.......2004-03-08
This work purports to be an introduction for students and any interested people to philosophy. It isn't. If it's an introduction to anything at all, it's an introduction to Thomism.
Philosophy is a richly diverse field, though you wouldn't know it from reading this book. In fact, this book leaves the reader with the impression that philosophy started with Plato and ended with Aristotle, with brief revivals by St. Thomas Aquinas and an occasional Pope. McInerny quite explicitly rejects all of "modern philosophy" (i.e. nearly all philosophy from Descartes to now) as not worth discussing, characterizing it as so many different versions of subjectivism. As a philosopher and a teacher of philosophy, I have never been so personally and professionally insulted by a book. As a philosopher himself, McInerny knows full well that what he says about modern philosophy (which for some bizarre reason he feels compelled to attribute to the pernicious influence of Martin Luther) is just simply false.
While the main thesis that we are all engaged in the philosophical enterprise is a laudable one, his treatment of philosophy is so infused with a Thomistic and papist bias that I could not recommend more strongly against reading this book or (God forbid!) adopting it for classroom use. This book is not an introduction to philosophy--it is a disguised piece of propaganda, and like all propaganda, is best kept at a safe distance.
philosophy belongs to everyone.......2002-01-10
Rather than a give the story of philosophy in 50 pages, Dr. McInerny points students of philosophy in a direction such that their philosophical studies might actually benefit their lives. The book is thus a defense of perennial philosophy, and the classical view that philosophy is something humans are "naturally" drawn to do, because it completes our lives. Dr. McInerny engages the reader in argument, as he defends this view against modern views of philosophy, and discusses the nature of certainty, common sense, and the role of science. Its most important value is the great faith in human intellect and reason, implicit throughout the book. This book would make a good beginning for college philosophy classes. A concluding bibliographical appendix by Joshua Hochschild gives a brief overview of main philosophers throughout history, and some good suggestions for reading.

Fine, if somewhat short...........2002-12-31
This book is a very short summary of political philosophy. Perhaps it is wrong in assuming that a student would not be able to read about this subject in greater detail. After reading this, though, one will want to know more about political philosophy, why one can be both politically active and philosophical, and why politics is important to students, and not just leftist politics. Also, one wonders which political philosophy the author has, as he seems to comment wryly on both conservatism and liberalism with great acuity. A fine read, if somewhat incomplete.
Short, but not the best overview.......2002-10-29
I bought this guide expecting that it would give a brief high-level overview of the main thinkers and ideas in political philosophy. It didn't do that -- it was more of a political philosopher "sampler", rather than an overview which outlines the high points in the intellectual history of the field. The first 10 pages of the ~50 page essay made some good distinctions & definitions, and emphasized that one should read the "great books" of political philosophy (though it doesn't give a list of those books until the appendix). The rest of the essay wasn't as informative, and just touches on some of the ideas of a couple major philosophers (e.g. Machiavelli, Plato, etc.), and tended to be slightly more interpretive than I like to see in an introduction (intro's should be more objective, because a beginner has a hard time distinguishing opinion from fact). Overall, this book only gave me a "feel" for what political philosophy is, without giving a sense of the entire scope of the field, the connections and/or debate between the various schools of thought, or the relative importance of the various thinkers. Granted, it's hard to give a comprehensive overview in 50 pages, but I think the essay could have been structured better. On the plus side, it is a very short essay -- 50 pages, double spaced.
The very best guide to the subject.......2002-10-01
Harvard University Professor Harvey C. Mansfield, Jr., is well known within the discipline of political theory as one of the great figures of our time. Profoundly influenced by Leo Strauss, he also brings to his work a concern for the institutions of constitutional democracy which was a staple at Harvard during the era of Carl Friedrich. He has made original contributions to the study of Machiavelli and recently completed a translation of, and commentary on, Tocqueville's Democracy in America.
Mansfield's lectures on ancient, medieval, and modern political philosophy are famously dense and provocative, forcing students to confront the deepest problems posed by some of the greatest minds in Western history. In this remarkable guide, Mansfield conveys with subtle precision the contours, the twists and turns, that political philosophy has taken over the centuries, from Plato to Nietzsche.
For any student of political philosophy, this is the place to begin. This slim book can be read at a single sitting, but what Mansfield has to say may keep you thinking for the rest of your life.
Book Description
Who are the most influential thinkers, and which are the most important concepts, events, and documents in the study of the American political tradition? How ought we regard the beliefs and motivations of the founders, the debate over the ratification of the Constitution, the historical circumstances of the Declaration of Independence, the rise of the modern presidency, and the advent of judicial supremacy? These are a few of the fascinating questions canvassed by George W. Carey in A Student's Guide to American Political Thought. Carey's primer instructs students on the fundamental matters of American political theory while telling them where to turn to obtain a better grasp on the ideas that have shaped the American political heritage.

Great little read for college students.......2007-06-26
This book explores the thoughts of the Founding Fathers as they worked to establish our political system. One of the unique facets of the founding of this nation is the rich historical perspective of those who examined human and cultural history and then made various determinations and choices in the founding of this civilization - why were certain forms of government included and others excluded, what was the intent and understanding of law, government and the nature of man in making these determinations? Carey, a government professor at Georgetown, examines the writings of the founders and explores their thoughts, motives and desires.
Carey concludes several very fascinating things about our founders and their desired intent for this nation. First, many of the founders had a great distain for the concentration of power, considering the concentration itself to be tyranny, not waiting to see if the power were abused or not. Second, there is overwhelming evidence to support the concept that many of the founders believed that religion and virtue were absolute essentials in the fabric of this new society - to preserve and protect good government and to promote an orderly and decent society. Carey examines the influence of the Christian church on the foundation of this nation.
In examining the writings of the founders, Carey determines that James Madison's Federalist #10 lays out the fundamental argument for a constitutional government and is essential for any student of American political thought to read and understand. The battle over states rights versus a centralized national government as well as the protection of minority rights from the majority are put forth in Federalist #10. From that foundation, further discussions of the founders addressed their thoughts about the separation of powers and the role of each branch - one interesting note was their concept and distain for judicial activism, a problem we are obviously facing in today's culture!
the author's bias is evident throughout this work.......2006-07-23
I found that the author used many pejorative terms whenever he referenced liberal or progressive interpretations of the Constitution. He spent a good deal of his book trying to debunk the work of most constitutional scholars of the 20th century, instead relying on 19th century sources. In particular, he argues for a very narrow interpretation of the first amendment and ascribes religious motives to many of the founders which I think most historians would find unsubstantiated. It is particularly galling that the group which funded the work and has been most responsible for disseminating it is not clearly identified in either a forward or postscript, since such attribution would alert most readers to the fact that the book is geared to support a particular point of view, instead of being an objective survey of American political thought.
On the positive side, the author writes well, and his exposition of his own belief about the Constitution is clear.
Outstanding.......2005-06-18
Carey may be peerless in the ample insight he supplies concerning our Founder's intent. This short historical survey of American political thought processes and their conclusions provides a first-rate foundation for the neophyte, or the advanced pigeonholed in some specific corner of law or politics - quite suitable for the harried American. Though Carey holds a position (and after all what is education if not a search for the right answers?) he is remarkably adept at presenting other sides without torpedoing their thesis. But he doesn't need to, as that is done by carefully reading The Federalist. However, were it not for books like this, revision - conservative or liberal - would have a free hand, putting words in the Founder's mouth or obfuscating what can be complex Founding issues, not so much through the inertia of these concepts but by their subtleties. Unlike science where erroneous understandings are usually emphatically rejected by nature or refined analysis, this is what makes the Founding intent a minefield, more open to alteration. Unfortunately, English has not the precision of mathematics, but Carey points us to clarification from the Founders and they're reasonably clear, most often crystal.
Right from the beginning Carey sets the table: "On what principles is the government based? How is authority allocated within it? What is its primary purpose? Are there limitations to its powers? How can it be altered? On what assumptions about human nature is it based?" Past civilizations were "ordained by the gods" or "given by a mythical lawgiver", but America's Founding was a reasoned struggle, not only at the Convention but over decades of debate and State testing, resulting in the "will of the people", not a god. The Federalist as defense of the proposed Constitution addressed these matters. It is, though, a "nuts and bolts" approach, writes Carey, not an extensive theoretical or philosophical treatise - practical vs. idealistic. And this is where much political thought separates from The Federalist, attempting to redraft its meaning to satisfy "the way things ought to be" regardless of what works, Right or Left - though both miss the truth according to Carey through their selective spin, serving agendas. An example follows fifty years after our most lethal war with resulting elevation of that Lincoln era, retroactively recasting the Constitution in light of our Declaration through Lincoln's moving speeches ("...a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal"). Jefferson did say there that we "hold these truths to be self evident", that all "are created equal" with "certain unalienable Rights". So, rights and equality became paramount. For such interpretations, writes Carey "...democracy is primarily government 'for the people' not necessarily 'by the people'", bearing "a close relationship to those [ideals] that inspired the French Revolution". The Constitution is then judged by how well it lives up to that Declaration. But Carey argues it does live up to central themes expressed there and is a continuation of the same political thought - once again by reference to The Federalist - just not the way revisionists want it to be.
Reading the Constitution cold is likely to leave one under-whelmed, but Carey transforms it. Like lifeless equations as abstract markings on paper, grasping their meaning and implications converts them to revelation, lifting them from the page to fly. Carey does this for the Founding, through him our Founders nearly live again. But based on our mutilation of their intent they'd probably rather be dead.

A Book to Savor and Thoughtfully Consider.......2007-09-07
I bought this book soon after the original television program was first broadcast and it's one I re-read often -- it remains one of my favorites. Although it is a very faithful (almost word-for-word and image-for-image) presentation of the material in the series, to have the information in a book to read at one's own pace (instead of being forced to absorb information at the pace of the television production), to carefully consider what Dr. Bronowski says, and to see what (if anything) it means to the reader makes the book an almost indispensable companion to the series.
As has been pointed out in earlier reviews, the high impact of this book (and of the television series) is the passion Dr. Bronowski brings to the material, how it's clear he truly believed that it is necessary for everyone to understand how the development of society is the product of generations of people pursuing knowledge ("science"), and that this understanding is critical to the future of civilization...the scientific imagination, standing always at the edge of the unknown and unsure, versus absolutism and dogma.
Now that the television series has been attractively remastered and is now available to the general public, the book has an even greater utility. The captions on the DVDs are very poorly done, to the extent that some of the errors make significant changes in Dr. Bronowski's statements and points. It's clear that whoever prepared the captions did not refer to the shooting script OR TO THIS BOOK! In other words, the book is important to correct errors in the captions. If one needs the captions this book is a valuable resource to ensure the viewer gets the correct words and, therefore, understands what Dr. Bronowski is presenting.
Remarkable!.......2006-08-09
If you're looking for a book that will show you how man made it from day 1 to the present, while encomapssing ALL disciplines and not science alone, you've found the right book! It's is incredible how simply and interestengly Mr. Bronowski has accomplished such a feat. You won't be able to put it down!
Inspired many copiers but is still the best..........2006-06-17
Previous reviews don't do Bronowski justice. He began as a mathematician; but after being sent to Hiroshima, as part of a team studying the aftereffects of the nuclear blast, he switched to biology. He was warm and articulate. A poet himself, he was one of the few people who truly understood the English poet William Blake, although (unlike most of his writing) his essays about Blake could use some explaining themselves. He was a highly moral man and did two original things you don't see many others even attempting: He saw the "doing" of science as an act every bit as creative as composing a symphony or writing a poem -- and he explained it in that way -- and he sought a structure for rationalizing morality and ethical behavior that did not rely upon religious precepts. The Ascent of Man is a very personal work, and it says so in its subtitle. It pretty much echos word for word what Jacob Bronowski spoke extemporaneously as he was sent around the world to the places he needed to be in order to explain the ideas he needed to express as he filmed his material for public television. Ironically, I said that very badly: I meant that HE could explain very complex notions with terrific elegance and simplicity. Period. By the way, the process of making the series for TV must have taken a toll, as JB died not long after completing the necessary travels. The Ascent of Man is all excellent but has many especially moving moments. Only one example occurred when JB walked fully clothed and shod into a pond at Auschwitz in acknowledgment of family and friends and fellow countrymen whose ashes were dumped there by fascists who laid claim to a handle on absolute certainty. Read this topnotch book, then find more by him. And if you're thirsty for more, try a little Loren Eisely as well. The accomplishments of humankind as explained by thoughtful scientists can prove wonderfully exhiliarating.
Very good, but don't expect Cosmos.......2005-08-16
This is one of the first, and one of the better, history of science sorts of series. If you enjoy history and science, then its worth watching. But the program, and to a lesser extent the book, in my mind suffer from a serious flaw: namely; that the author can not seem to divorce himself from his own religious views, which intrude at a number of times in the program. How can I take someone seriously who is speaking about archeological history, while at the same time speculating about the Biblical conquest of Jericho? There is a disconnect here that leaves you wondering. One can always quibble about what major scientific advances are noteworthy, and different authors have seized upon various individuals; but we have in this series nothing out of the ordinary. Looking at "Cosmos" or "The Day the Universe Changed" is much more fulfilling, from an intellectual standpoint, but its still worth purchasing and enjoying.
Is available on DVD.......2005-01-01
This series has been available on DVD for about 2 years or so from Ambrose Video. The price is high.

A thoughtful and thorough look at Ge.......2004-10-30
This book starts each chapter with a nearly intangible discussion of the philosophical aspects of geography for the respective period, then gets into very good summaries of the period, its key players and concepts. Its also sprinkled with great examples of work that illustrates research at the various periods which help cement the concepts.
I expect this will be a useful reference for those time when I forget the difference between structuration theory and realism.
A model text.......2000-01-07
This book is now out in a third edition (SAGE Publications, 1999). It is a book about geography, but I review it as a model on how an author in one of the (social) sciences can analyze his discipline in a philosophical way. ------ The book presents different philosophical positions such as positivism, marxism, structuralism, realism and poststructuralism in a clear way and describes how such positions have influenced the development of geography. In my opinion such philosophical analysis of (social) sciences are rare, but extremely important. I whish I knew of similar qualified books in all other domains. Such books shows that sciences are built on assumptions, that can be questioned and they help developing critical thinking.
