Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conditions of Progress in Democratic Government Mr. President and Gentlemen of Yale University: To you who are enjoying academic advantages and especially to those of you who are devoting yourselves to the study of history and political science, it must seem presumptuous for one who is under the pressure of the exacting duties of executive office to attempt to meet the requirements of a university lectureship. The invitation, with which I have been honoured, and my acceptance of it, can be justified only upon the ground that the chief intention of the founder of this course of lectures was not to invite scholastic disquisition, but rather to quicken in young men the sense of civic responsibility, and that this object might to some degree be attained if one in the midst of public work should seek to draw, though only in outline, a sketch of the field of endeavour, or privilege, of obligation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Democratic Campaign Book for 1910 This publication contains extracts from speeches made in Con gress, and which are found in the congressional record. It is intended to present the conditions existing to - day and to show the issues between the political parties. No one can carefully read this book, without bias, and not feel deep concern for his country. We ask a. Careful perusal of the various subjects dis cussed, and we feel sure that every candid person who is not controlled by a desire to profit personally through party organi zation will feel disgusted at the deception in legislation and administration and in the failure to meet the just demands of the 'people. The Democratic party stands for equality of rights, and ih sists that the Government shall be administered for the whole people and not for the benefit of special interests. If intrusted with power, it will make a record which will mean much for the prosperity of the masses, and in the continuation of the prinv ciples of free government. For the first sixty years of the last century it was responsible for the affairs of government, and for the last fifty years the Republican party has generally been in control. Any careful student of history can well point with pride to the wonderful progress of this Republic during that period of Democratic supremacy, and if intrusted with the reins of government again so as to fully restore its principles, there can be no question but that the interests of the whole people will be much better served than during Republican rule.

The The very fact that the progress of civilization progress of can be indicated under so many aspects shows mama that these are but specialized phases Of one great movement of a unified social life, manifesting itself under many different forms, but all alike teaching that mankind is rising from primitive savagery to higher and more ethical, more intellectual stages of development. Evidently, therefore, even the most advanced peoples have not yet attained the highest possible development. Even the best of them are low and savage when com pared with the ideals of social perfection taught by the noblest representatives Of humanity in ages past and present. Further development is still possible, and. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Limits of Pure Democracy Let us now consider what these definitions come to, beginning with the first and most famous of them. This definition consists of three separate statements firstly, that Democracy is government of the people; secondly, that it is government for the people; and, thirdly, that it is government by the people. It is obvious that the first purports to enunciate something which, however profound, can at once be grasped by everybody; whilst the second adds something more pro found and distinctive still, and that both lead up to the cumulative profundity of the last. Let us ask, then, what intelligible meaning can be possibly read into each. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New State, Group Organization the Solution, of Popular Government In Cincinnati, where the name used for the group is social unit, this is defined as being a group of people living in the same neighbourhood, and organised to give and receive community service. The plan of work goes on to state that the same principle of group organisation will be applied to the social work, the nursing, the statistical work, etc., as well as to the gradual building up of an advisory council composed of men and women from other occupational groups in the community. For example, in social work, formulation of plans and directions of policies will rest in city committees of social experts, elected by then fellow-members and united through their heads in a social council, of which the Superin tendent of Public Welfare will be a member. In summary the unit plan aims at three things: to organise the people of a limited district democratically, so that they can get a clear idea of what their common needs are, and what they think ought to be done about them; to organise democratically the specialists of the neighbourhood and of the city so that the highest skill and experience can be applied to meeting the needs disclosed, and to bind the people and the technically skilled groups together in such a way that the people can tell the specialists what they want done, and the specialists can point out how to do it, submitting plans, programmes, and policies to the people for their approval. To put it another way, the plan is an attempt to bring efficiency to democracy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Militant Democracy written by András Sajó and published by Eleven International Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of contributions by leading scholars on theoretical and contemporary problems of militant democracy. The term 'militant democracy' was first coined in 1937. In a militant democracy preventive measures are aimed, at least in practice, at restricting people who would openly contest and challenge democratic institutions and fundamental preconditions of democracy like secularism - even though such persons act within the existing limits of, and rely on the rights offered by, democracy. In the shadow of the current wars on terrorism, which can also involve rights restrictions, the overlapping though distinct problem of militant democracy seems to be lost, notwithstanding its importance for emerging and established democracies. This volume will be of particular significance outside the German-speaking world, since the bulk of the relevant literature on militant democracy is in the German language. The book is of interest to academics in the field of law, political studies and constitutionalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Public Domain and Democracy: A Study of Social, Economic and Political Problems in the United States in Relation to Western Development It is common knowledge that its settlement and development have had tremendous influences in national life. The history of the whole country is bound up in the rapid extension of her borders and the remarkable expansion of her population. But in large movements one may lose sight of others developing at the same time. To reverse a wellknown saying: "We see so much of the forest that we fail to see the trees." Social developments and social movements have been taking place the significance of which, because of other great national affairs more evident and appreciable, is not yet fully perceived. The importance of population movements in the United States and the occupation of the Public Domain rests in the fact that they have created a condition of successive change; of social unstability; of social, economic and political restlessness; and have carried with them peculiarly vital developments in various phases of American life. No population removal of history, perhaps, has been accompanied by any more marked social phenomena than that beginning in America at the close of the Revolutionary War and continuing to the present. No movement within the range of modern times has been fraught with greater import than has this one which transplanted a portion of the roots of a vigorous people on a restricted sea-board to the wilds of a frontier which shortly teemed with life and civilization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Truisms of Statecraft: An Attempt to Define, in General Terms, the Origin, Growth, Purpose, and Possibilities, of Popular Government John Stuart Mill again opens his widely known treatise on Political Economy with an examination of the conditions Of production, and then passes on to distribution and exchange; and it is only in the latter portions Of his work that he deals with the Influence Of the progress Of society on production and distribution, and with the Influence of Government, as if they were subordinate topics. It may be truly said that Political Economy, considered scientifically, is only concerned with the nature of wealth, and the laws Of its production and distribution; but, nevertheless, Mill himself includes, in the latter portion of his work, among the factors of the study, several more personal aspects Of human affairs. It is sufficiently evident that he considered that the study Of human nature was involved in Economics; for, in his Opening chapter, he says that the subject includes directly or remotely the operation Of all the causes by which the condition Of mankind, or Of any society Of human beings is made prosperous or the reverse. The work Of Ricardo (one of the world's greatest Economic thinkers) is even more closely confined to trade and commerce than those of Adam Smith and Mill whilst Professor Fawcett breaks fresh ground, and follows Mill, in dealing with such personal problems as socialism and strikes. I quite recognise that it has been the custom to confine the subject Of political economy to the Operation Of these laws, which, as it were, play round human society in connection with human needs and human activities but I cannot help thinking that, inasmuch as political economy has its very root in human nature and human needs, it is not only pertinent to such an enquiry, but directly essential to its clear and comprehensive under standing, and certainly to its being popularly studied, to ascertain and explain Of what this element of human nature consists, and what are the best methods Of treat ing it, in most successfully ministering to its needs, when its units are grouped in co-operative communities.
