Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authorities ranging from philosophers to politicians nowadays question the existence of concepts of society, whether in the present or the past. This book argues that social concepts most definitely existed in late medieval and early modern England, laying the foundations for modern models of society. The book analyzes social paradigms and how they changed in the period. A pervasive medieval model was the "body social," which imagined a society of three estates – the clergy, the nobility, and the commonalty – conjoined by interdependent functions, arranged in static hierarchies based upon birth, and rejecting wealth and championing poverty. Another model the book describes as "social humanist," that fundamentally questioned the body social, advancing merit over birth, mobility over stasis, and wealth over poverty. The theory of the body social was vigorously articulated between the 1480s and the 1550s. Parts of the old metaphor actually survived beyond 1550, but alternative models of social humanist thought challenged the body concept in the period, advancing a novel paradigm of merit, mobility, and wealth. The book’s methodology focuses on the intellectual context of a variety of contemporary texts.
Download or read book Necessary Conjunctions written by D. Shaw and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-30 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Necessary Conjunctions is an original study of how regular medieval people created their public social identities. Focusing especially on the world of English townspeople in the later Middle Ages, the book explores the social self, the public face of the individual. It gives special attention to how prevalent norms of honor, fidelity and hierarchy guided and were manipulated by medieval citizens. With variable success, medieval men and women defined themselves and each other by the clothes they work, the goods they cherished, as well as by their alliances and enemies, their sharp tongues and petty violence. Employing a highly interdisciplinary methodology and an original theory makes it possible to see how personal agency and identity developed within the framework of later medieval power structures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foundations of Society and the Land: A Review of the Social Systems of the Middle Ages in Britain, Their Growth and Their Decay; With a Special Reference to Land User, Supplemented by Some Observations on the Connection With Modern Conditions A large space is taken up by Ireland in this book. This was not the result of any desire to stir in party politics or to exalt Ireland at the expense of other parts. The cause of Ireland's prominence is this. Ireland is a chief authority for early communal conditions, and I believe the neglect of its records to have led to a great deal of wrong historical perspective. In its later history it is a unique example of the ruin and degradation of one nation by another from pure ignorance, from theological hatred, from misrepresentations of the facts of history, from commercial jealousy, from want of firm government, and from the evils of party politics. It would not appear as if the Anglo-Scot even now understands the problem before him or is willing to confess that he is at fault. It is so easy to put the fault on someone else. In consequence, as I believe this to be one of the most important of present political issues, and the most dangerous if dishonestly handled, I have written of the horrors of Irish history more fully than I should otherwise have done, and have felt constrained to express opinions very strongly in an Appendix on modern Ireland for the reasons there given. Ireland, apart from the political issue, is a great and little-trodden field for social, agricultural, and commercial example. But it has a most horrible and most sad history, and to any Englishman who has studied it away from theological venom and party politics a most humiliating and painful story. I have put in Appendices (I would like to have called them Tails, but it sounded too precious) a variety of matter for which I had no convenience in the text. I take it that the necessity for such gleanings shows slovenliness of thought, a want of mental clearness in the writer, a want of power of condensation and arrangement. But it rids the text of personal opinions which would create confusion, and it gives opportunity for the reader to initiate new branches of thought which may lead to some purpose. There is undoubtedly a great deal of repetition. In some degree this is unavoidable. Where it is not, it is not wholly an evil, if the matter treated of is unfamiliar to the reader.

Download or read book Medieval Foundations of International Relations written by William Bain and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this volume is to explore the medieval inheritance of modern international relations. Recent years have seen a flourishing of work on the history of international political thought, but the bulk of this has focused on the early modern and modern periods, leaving continuities with the medieval world largely ignored. The medieval is often used as a synonym for the barbaric and obsolete, yet this picture does not match that found in relevant work in the history of political thought. The book thus offers a chance to correct this misconception of the evolution of Western international thought, highlighting that the history of international thought should be regarded as an important dimension of thinking about the international and one that should not be consigned to history departments. Questions addressed include: what is the medieval influence on modern conception of rights, law, and community? how have medieval ideas shaped modern conceptions of self-determination, consent, and legitimacy? are there ‘medieval’ answers to ‘modern’ questions? is the modern world still working its way through the Middle Ages? to what extent is the ‘modern outlook’ genuinely secular? is there a ‘theology’ of international relations? what are the implications of continuity for predominant historical narrative of the emergence and expansion of international society? Medieval and modern are certainly different; however, this collection of essays proceeds from the conviction that the modern world was not built on a new plot with new building materials. Instead, it was constructed out of the rubble, that is, the raw materials, of the Middle Ages.This will be of great interest to students and scholars of IR, IR theory and political theory. .
