Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1982. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 321 pages. formulate an adequate theory of "populist" movements. In a novel analysis of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century England, Calhoun argues that popular protest was mounted by reactionary radicals whose ideology was largely a defense of the traditional values of culture and community against an emerging industrial order. He also offers through reconsiderations of several histories of class struggle, including E. P. Thompson's influential masterpiece, The making of the English Working Class. Calhoun focuses on the social foundations for collective action. In his view, English radicalism during the 1810s and early 1820s was based in local and craft communities. Rather than include this English populism within the Marxist notion of class struggle, Calhoun shows that it was rooted in the particular situation of English workers in social and economic transition. As he reassesses these populist movements, he broadens our understanding of community, class, tradition, and collective action. Clean copy.

All pages unmarked and uncreased. In good used condition overall. Publisher's note: Karl Marx is, perhaps, the founding figure of modern social theory. His ideas and writings have been entwined with some of the twentieth century's greatest struggles for justice, and some of its worst repression. He has inspired an equal measure of followers and critics, and entirely diverse lines of research and theory. Each new generation of social thinkers have advanced theories in the wake of Marx, proving his undying contemporary relevance. In this illuminating and concise collection of readings, Karl Marx emerges as the first theorist to give a comprehensive social view of the birth and development of capitalist modernity that began with the Second Industrial Revolution and still exists today. Organized analytically, each section of readings relates to an enduring facet of Marxist thought. Along with Marx's own writing, there are fifteen contemporary essays on a variety of topics showing the influence of Marx on today's world. Editorial introductions are included at the beginning of the volume and of each section to situate the readings historically and intellectually. Every student and scholar of social theory and Marxism will find this to be the defining collection of Marxist modern thought Size: 23 x 15.4 x 3.1 cm. xix, 399 pp. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.

Type: Book On his death in October 1990, Louis Althusser remained one of the most controversial of the "master thinkers" to emerge from the Parisian intellectual scene of the 1960s. "The Althusserian Legacy" is a collective attempt to draw up a balance sheet, not on Althusser alone but on the questions that his work pushed to the forefront of Marxist theory. It brings together writing in history, philosophy, economics, sociology, and literary criticism, all of it deriving from or significantly inflected by Althusser. The volume contains an interview with Jacques Derrida, long-time friend and colleague of Althusser at the Ecole Normale in Paris, and concludes with two obituaries by Derrida and Gregory Elliott.

This is a systematic account of why Ireland remained democratic after independence. Bill Kissane analyzes the Irish case from a comparative international perspective and by discussing it in terms of the classic works of democratic theory. Each chapter tests the explanatory power of a particular approach, and the result is a mixture of political history, sociology, and political science. Taking issue with many conventional assumptions, Kissane questions whether Irish democracy after 1921 was really a surprise, by relating the outcome to the level of socio-economic development, the process of land reform, and the emergence of a strong civil society under the Union. On the other hand, things did not go according to plan in 1922, and two chapters are devoted to the origins and nature of the civil war. The remaining chapters are concerned with analyzing how democracy was rebuilt after the civil war; Kissane questions whether that achievement was entirely the work of the pro-Treatyites.Indeed, by focusing on the continued divisiveness of the Treaty issue, the nature of constitutional republicanism, and the significance of the 1937 constitution, Kissane argues that Irish democracy was not really consolidated until the late 1930s, and that that achievement was largely the work of de Valera.., University College Dublin Press, 2002, 3, Cambridge Univ.

Abandoned to Ourselves: Being an Essay on the Emergence and Implications of Sociology in the Writings of Mr. Jean-Jacques Rousseau" (ISBN: 9780300172058): "Abandoned to Ourselves" is an essay that analyzes the emergence of sociology within the writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a prominent Enlightenment philosopher.

Fine/Fine. 6x0x9. First edition. A fine copy in a fine jacket. 1990 Hard Cover. x, 228 pp. In the first book-length study of American philosophy at the turn of the century, Daniel J. Wilson traces the formation of philosophy as an academic discipline. Wilson shows how the rise of the natural and physical sciences at the end of the nineteenth century precipitated a "crisis of confidence" among philosophers as to the role of their discipline. Deftly tracing the ways in which philosophers sought to incorporate scientific values and methods into their outlook and to redefine philosophy itself, Wilson moves between close analysis of philosophical texts and consideration of professional careers of illustrative philosophers, such as Charles Sanders Peirce, John Dewey, and Josiah Royce. The author situates the emergence of professional philosophy in the context of the professionalization of American higher education and articulates, in the case of philosophy, the structures and values of a professional discipline. One of the most important consequences of this transformation was a new emphasis on communal theories of truth. Peirce, Dewey, and Royce all developed sophisticated and important theories of community as they were engaged in reshaping and redefining the limits of philosophy. This book will be of great importance for those interested in the history of philosophy, the rise of professions, and American intellectual and educational history, and to all those seeking to understand the contemporary revival of pragmatic thought and theories of community., The University of Chicago Press, 1990, 5, Penn State., 1989.

New Science: The Breakdown of Connections & the Birth of Sociology by Bruce Mazlish (ISBN: 9780271010922): "New Science" by Bruce Mazlish is a thought-provoking exploration of the birth of sociology as a discipline and its emergence in response to the breakdown of traditional connections and structures in society. Mazlish examines the intellectual and historical context in which sociology evolved, drawing on the works of influential thinkers like Auguste Comte and Emile Durkheim. The book offers insights into the ways in which industrialization, urbanization, and social change led to the development of sociology as a means of understanding and addressing the challenges of modernity. "New Science" is a scholarly and illuminating account of the intellectual history of sociology and its relevance to contemporary society. Crisp, clean, unread book with some shelfwear/edgewear.
