Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Politics and the Moral Law Very generally a cowardly reluctance to look the fact in the face, and make pro vision for it as one of the unavoidable inconveniences of an imperfect condi tion. People are afraid lest the force of recognized duties should be weakened, by admitting the liability of one duty to be overruled by another, and, though well knowing that this does happen, and not prepared to deny that it some times ought to happen, they prefer to be excused from giving their approba tion beforehand to so unpleasant-looking a fact.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Politics and the Moral Law In his characteristically lucid essay on Treaty Obligations from which further quotations will be found in the Notes to this volume, John Stuart Mill uses the following language: - "While it is undoubtedly true that, in the practical application even of the best-established and most universally received rules of morality, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred an honest man seldom has doubts by which he is to guide his conduct; yet no one, I presume, will deny that there will be even a hundredth case in which different moral obligations conflict.

Download or read book Classics of Political and Moral Philosophy written by Steven M. Cahn and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2012 with total page 1223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classics of Political and Moral Philosophy provides in one volume the major writings from nearly 2,500 years of political and moral philosophy, from Plato through the twentieth century. The most comprehensive collection of its kind, it moves from classical thought (Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, Cicero) through medieval views (Augustine, Aquinas) to modern perspectives (Machiavelli, Hobbes, Spinoza, Locke, Rousseau, Hume, Adam Smith, Kant). It includes major nineteenth-century thinkers (Bentham, Hegel, Mill) and considerably more twentieth-century theorists than are found in competing volumes (Rawls, Nozick, Taylor, Foucault, Habermas, Held, Nussbaum). Also included are numerous essays from The Federalist Papers and a variety of notable documents and addresses, among them Pericles' Funeral Oration, The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution of the United States, The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, and speeches by Edmund Burke, Abraham Lincoln, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, John Dewey, and Martin Luther King, Jr. The readings are substantial or complete texts, not fragments. The second edition contains two new readings--by Charles Taylor and Virginia Held--and adds The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It also presents two works by John Locke in their entirety and includes a new translation of Kant's Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals. An especially valuable feature of this volume is that the writings of each author are introduced with a substantive and engaging essay by a leading contemporary authority. These introductions include Richard Kraut on Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, and Cicero; Paul J. Weithman on Augustine and Aquinas; Roger D. Masters on Machiavelli; Jean Hampton on Hobbes; Steven B. Smith on Spinoza and Hegel; A. John Simmons on Locke; Joshua Cohen on Rousseau and Rawls; Donald W. Livingston on Hume; Charles L. Griswold, Jr., on Smith; Bernard E. Brown on Hamilton and Madison; Jeremy Waldron on Bentham and Mill; Paul Guyer on Kant; Richard Miller on Marx and Engels; Thomas Christiano on Nozick; Robert B. Talisse on Charles Taylor; Thomas A. McCarthy on Foucault and Habermas; Cheshire Calhoun on Held; and Eva Feder Kittay on Nussbaum. Offering unprecedented breadth of coverage, Classics of Political and Moral Philosophy, Second Edition, is an ideal text for courses in political philosophy, social and political philosophy, moral philosophy, or surveys in Western civilization.
Download or read book Natural Rights written by David G. Ritchie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Natural Rights: A Criticism of Some Political and Ethical Conceptions When I began, some three years ago, to write a paper on Natural Rights, which has grown by degrees into the present volume, I had a certain fear that in criticising that famous theory I might be Occupied in slaying the already slain. Recent experience has, however, convinced me that the theory is still, in a sense, alive, or at least capable of mischief. Though disclaimed by almost all'our more careful writers on politics and ethics, it yet remains a common place of the newspaper and the platform, not only in the United States of America, where the theory may be said to form part of the national creed, but in this country, where it was assailed a century ago by both Burke and Bentham. If it be suggested that an ex posure of fallacies, which have survived the attack of two critics so great and of such diverse genius, is either futile or superfluous, I should answer that I hope I have approached the theory in a Spirit more appreciative and sympathetic than was possible to the eloquent passion of Burke, or to the keen, cold, abstractly logical analysis of Bentham. At least, I have endeavoured to regard the theory in the light of its historical significance; for it is never sufficient to argue that a widely held Opinion is erroneous without trying to show how and why it came to be widely held. What I have attempted is simply a contribution to an historical and critical analysis of a set of conceptions which have had, for good and evil, an enormous influence in the region of practical politics and legislation. The study is but a fragment of political philosophy; and even in itself it is inevitably incomplete. Illustrations and applications might have been multiplied indefinitely; and any selection must always seem arbitrary to some readers. The subject of liberty of thought has been discussed at what may seem disproportionate length; but it appeared to me one of the most suitable for the sake of illustration, and the treatment accorded to it is, after all, not very lengthy Chapter VIII. Will serve its purpose best, if it should help to provoke some competent historical student to undertake an history of the practice and of the idea of toleration, on which I have only given a few jottings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of law and politics is one of the foundation stones of the discipline of political science, and it has been one of the most productive areas of cross-fertilization between the various subfields of political science and between political science and other cognate disciplines. This Handbook provides a comprehensive survey of the field of law and politics in all its diversity, ranging from such traditional subjects as theories of jurisprudence, constitutionalism, judicial politics and law-and-society to such re-emerging subjects as comparative judicial politics, international law, and democratization. The Oxford Handbook of Law and Politics gathers together leading scholars in the field to assess key literatures shaping the discipline today and to help set the direction of research in the decade ahead.
