Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Democracy, Discipline, Peace But Liberty has a higher purpose than ministering to our desires and our pleas ures; higher even than releasing us from pain; higher than bringing solace to our griefs and forgiveness to our sins. Liberty is the condition which makes us moral agents. The freedom of the will is the no blest of Man's assumptions. Without it, he would remain an animal, devoid of con science, blind to the sense of right and wrong in dealing with his fellows, unaware of any moral relation between himself and the Infinite.

Download or read book Democracy and Education written by John Dewey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1916 with total page 456 pages. 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.
Download or read book Democracy and Peace Classic Reprint written by James Bissett Pratt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Democracy and Peace This is not a war book. It is a book about democracy and peace, about America's ideals, her duties and her dangers. Incidentally it discusses some of the problems raised by the present con fliet. And its position on these questions is not one that is likely to please every reader. For the writer of this book is a pacificist who believes in war. His conclusions, therefore, will probably gain the approval of neither the militarists nor the peace-at-any-price men. Nor will they suit that large class of out - and-outers who have no patience with any statement that has qualifications. The situation which we are facing today is, in the au thor's opinion, too complex to be expressed in a simple formula. A statement of our national duty which would be at all complete must contain more than one qualifying phrase. The truth about America cannot be compressed into a slogan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Way to Democracy, to World Peace: Volunteer Drawn Democracy It is proposed to employ the method in securing legislatures, as in a representative democracy they should be representative of the whole people, and the use of the method for such purpose is particularly in har mony with the theory of democracy and the reason for representative government. The immediate use of the method for determining who shall be executive and judicial offi cers is not here proposed, as those officers are servants and agents of the people, rather than representa tives, in the true sense. And if the people can secure a truly representa tive legislature by using the method proposed, agents and servants will be relegated to their proper place in the government. Evils in our execut ive and judicial departments are now traceable largely to the use of the elective method for securing representation in our. Legislative depart ments. The underlying principle, selection at random from the'whole number admitted to be qualified, can be applied to all departments if deemed advisable.

Download or read book Peace and Reconciliation in the Classical World written by E. P. Moloney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-02-03 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warfare has long been central to a proper understanding of ancient Greece and Rome, worlds where war was, as the philosopher Heraclitus observed, ‘both king and father of all’. More recently, however, the understanding of Classical antiquity solely in such terms has been challenged; it is recognised that while war was pervasive, and a key concern in the narratives of ancient historians, a concomitant desire for peace was also constant. This volume places peace in the prime position as a panel of scholars stresses the importance of ‘peace’ as a positive concept in the ancient world (and not just the absence of, or necessarily even related to, war), and considers examples of conflict resolution, conciliation, and concession from Homer to Augustine. Comparing and contrasting theories and practice across different periods and regions, this collection highlights, first, the open and dynamic nature of peace, and then seeks to review a wide variety of initiatives from across the Classical world.

Download or read book The Great Peace Classic Reprint written by H. H. Powers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Peace When I was asked last August to prepare a book on the terms of peace, I consented to have it ready by March, 1919. My publishers thought that it should be ready by February first if it was to anticipate the march of events. The writing was completed in October, but even so, events have gotten ahead. It is some consolation to know that the whole world shares in this miscalculation. Neither the peoples nor their governments, the knowing ones who had all the inside information, were prepared for this headlong precipitancy. A letter from one of the staff of the Department of State at Washington expresses the surprise, not to say the consternation, of the government at this sudden development for which we were so eager and yet so utterly unprepared. It was in anticipation of this unpreparedness that the book was written, and yet I too am caught among the unprepared. Naturally I have considered carefully whether any change should be made in the text as the proofs pass through my hands, but save for a few footnotes and minor changes, I have left it as it was written. The difficulty in the phraseology, - all of it appropriate to the situation of last September, - is pervasive. Adaptation to the situation of today would mean re-writing. But it is only the phraseology that the armistice has rendered out of date. The problems remain, - not one of them settled despite confident and contradictory newspaper assertion. Even the signing of the treaty of peace, an event for which we must perhaps long wait in patience, will bring to most of them no immediate solution.

Download or read book Governing Disorder written by Laura Zanotti and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2011-02-02 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of the Cold War created an opportunity for the United Nations to reconceptualize the rationale and extent of its peacebuilding efforts, and in the 1990s, democracy and good governance became legitimizing concepts for an expansion of UN activities. The United Nations sought not only to democratize disorderly states but also to take responsibility for protecting people around the world from a range of dangers, including poverty, disease, natural disasters, and gross violations of human rights. National sovereignty came to be considered less an entitlement enforced by international law than a privilege based on states’ satisfactory performance of their perceived obligations. In Governing Disorder, Laura Zanotti combines her firsthand experience of UN peacebuilding operations with the insights of Michel Foucault to examine the genealogy of post–Cold War discourses promoting international security. Zanotti also maps the changes in legitimizing principles for intervention, explores the specific techniques of governance deployed in UN operations, and identifies the forms of resistance these operations encounter from local populations and the (often unintended) political consequences they produce. Case studies of UN interventions in Haiti and Croatia allow her to highlight the dynamics at play in the interactions between local societies and international peacekeepers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Triangulating Peace Betsy smiled at her mother's little spurt of temper and quickly curbed the smile. She was not only a dutiful daughter, but had an uncommon sense of humor, although in demeanor and look she strongly resembled her grave and handsome father, who had suf fered himself to be called a rebel and had gloried in being called a martyr. While Betsy trod serenely and calmly through life, its big things and its small, she loved her spicy mother and rather enjoyed the latter's tart tongue and temper, though many a time she had fronted both down with her quiet eyes.

Download or read book Dictators at War and Peace written by Jessica L. P. Weeks and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-08 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do some autocratic leaders pursue aggressive or expansionist foreign policies, while others are much more cautious in their use of military force? The first book to focus systematically on the foreign policy of different types of authoritarian regimes, Dictators at War and Peace breaks new ground in our understanding of the international behavior of dictators. Jessica L. P. Weeks explains why certain kinds of regimes are less likely to resort to war than others, why some are more likely to win the wars they start, and why some authoritarian leaders face domestic punishment for foreign policy failures whereas others can weather all but the most serious military defeat. Using novel cross-national data, Weeks looks at various nondemocratic regimes, including those of Saddam Hussein and Joseph Stalin; the Argentine junta at the time of the Falklands War, the military government in Japan before and during World War II, and the North Vietnamese communist regime. She finds that the differences in the conflict behavior of distinct kinds of autocracies are as great as those between democracies and dictatorships. Indeed, some types of autocracies are no more belligerent or reckless than democracies, casting doubt on the common view that democracies are more selective about war than autocracies.
Download or read book Not for Profit written by Martha C. Nussbaum and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this short and powerful book, celebrated philosopher Martha Nussbaum makes a passionate case for the importance of the liberal arts at all levels of education. Historically, the humanities have been central to education because they have been seen as essential for creating competent democratic citizens. But recently, Nussbaum argues, thinking about the aims of education has gone disturbingly awry in the United States and abroad. We increasingly treat education as though its primary goal were to teach students to be economically productive rather than to think critically and become knowledgeable, productive, and empathetic individuals. This shortsighted focus on profitable skills has eroded our ability to criticize authority, reduced our sympathy with the marginalized and different, and damaged our competence to deal with complex global problems. And the loss of these basic capacities jeopardizes the health of democracies and the hope of a decent world. In response to this dire situation, Nussbaum argues that we must resist efforts to reduce education to a tool of the gross national product. Rather, we must work to reconnect education to the humanities in order to give students the capacity to be true democratic citizens of their countries and the world. In a new preface, Nussbaum explores the current state of humanistic education globally and shows why the crisis of the humanities has far from abated. Translated into over twenty languages, Not for Profit draws on the stories of troubling—and hopeful—global educational developments. Nussbaum offers a manifesto that should be a rallying cry for anyone who cares about the deepest purposes of education.
