Download or read book A World Beyond Politics written by Pierre Manent and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-21 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in the grip of a great illusion about politics, Pierre Manent argues in A World beyond Politics? It's the illusion that we would be better off without politics--at least national politics, and perhaps all politics. It is a fantasy that if democratic values could somehow detach themselves from their traditional national context, we could enter a world of pure democracy, where human society would be ruled solely according to law and morality. Borders would dissolve in unconditional internationalism and nations would collapse into supranational organizations such as the European Union. Free of the limits and sins of politics, we could finally attain the true life. In contrast to these beliefs, which are especially widespread in Europe, Manent reasons that the political order is the key to the human order. Human life, in order to have force and meaning, must be concentrated in a particular political community, in which decisions are made through collective, creative debate. The best such community for democratic life, he argues, is still the nation-state. Following the example of nineteenth-century political philosophers such as Alexis de Tocqueville and John Stuart Mill, Manent first describes a few essential features of democracy and the nation-state, and then shows how these characteristics illuminate many aspects of our present political circumstances. He ends by arguing that both democracy and the nation-state are under threat--from apolitical tendencies such as the cult of international commerce and attempts to replace democratic decisions with judicial procedures.
Download or read book Camille Claudel written by Alma H. Bond and published by Alma Bond. This book was released on 2006 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Camille Claudel, an old lady confined to the Asylum for the Insane in Montdevergues, France, reviews her life. She says, aI hope my memoir will illustrate the heights of passion Rodin and I reached, and unravel the mystery of why they were transformed into vinegar and ashes.a The tragedy is not only hers, she adds, but that of many female artists who found it impossible to achieve the success of men artists of lesser ability. The book illuminates her childhood and the rise of her career in the setting of her ecstatic life with Rodin. Their ten years of bliss are followed by the disintegration of her love for him, and its evolution into hatred and psychosis. The last third of the book describes the horrors of Claudelas life in the asylum, ending with the highly original manner in which she comes to terms psychologically with Rodin and the other important figures in her life.

Download or read book The Incident at Antioch L Incident d Antioche written by Alain Badiou and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-19 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Incident at Antioch is a key play marking Alain Badiou's transition from classical Marxism to a "politics of subtraction" far removed from party and state. Written with striking eloquence and extraordinary poetic richness, and shifting from highly serious emotional and intellectual drama to surreal comic interlude, the work features statesmen, workers, and revolutionaries struggling to reconcile the nature and practice of politics. This bilingual edition presents L'Incident d'Antioche in its original French and, on facing pages, an expertly executed English translation. Badiou adds a special preface, and an introduction by the scholar Kenneth Reinhard connects the play to Paul Claudel's The City, Saint Paul and the early history of the Church, and the innovative mathematical thinking of Paul Cohen. The translation includes Susan Spitzer's extensive notes clarifying allusions and quotations and hinting at Badiou's intentions. An interview with Badiou encompasses the play's settings, themes, and events, as well as his ongoing literary and conceptual experimentation on stage and off.

Download or read book A Poet Before the Cross written by Paul Claudel and published by Alethes. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This impassioned work, written from 1933 to 1935 while he was successively ambassador to the United States and Belgium, marks a pivotal point in the career of French poet and playwright Paul Claudel, one of the most important and accomplished literary figures in European history. With this book, Claudel commenced his profound written commentaries on the Bible and on the deepest mysteries of his Catholic faith. In these works (10 of the 30 volumes in Claudel's collected writings)--and particularly in this first one, a meditation on the last seven words of Christ--Claudel the dramatic poet unpacks the meaning of the cruciform nature of the Christian life. He always claimed that form of existence as the very source of his poetry and drama, making this book a hermeneutic key to the vision animating all Claudel's literary art. But the book (first published in English in 1958) is also captivating and important in its own right--a rich and fascinating poetic exegesis of Christian belief. As David Schindler makes clear in his new introduction (a major reassessment of Claudel and the meaning of his art and of his faith), Claudel in this at times disturbing book resembles nothing so much as the great Patristic Fathers in their imaginative recovery of boundless analogical meaning within the Scriptures and also present in myriad created things.
