Book excerpt: Platons Politeia gehört zu den bedeutendsten und wirkungsreichsten Texten der Philosophigeschichte. Unter der Leitfrage nach der Gerechtigkeit weist Platon traditionelle Auffassungen zurück und leistet eine Sophistenkritik; er entwickelt im Anschluß dann seine Lehre von den drei Seelenteilen und die Lehre von den vier Kardinaltugenden. Er skizziert eine Erziehungstheorie, eine Staatsphilosophie mit der Lehre von der Philosophenherrschaft, eine Erkenntnistheorie und die Ideenlehre. Vor allem enthält die Politeia Platons bekannteste Gleichnisse von der Sonne, der Linie und der Höhle. In Form eines kooperativen Kommentars führen anerkannte Platon-Interpreten in die Hauptthemen der Politeia und die wichtigsten Forschungsprobleme ein.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first exploration of how ideas of politeia (constitution) structure both political and extra-political relations throughout the entirety of Greek and Roman philosophy, ranging from Presocratic to classical, Hellenistic, and Neoplatonic thought. A highly distinguished international team of scholars investigate topics such as the Athenian, Spartan and Platonic visions of politeia, the reshaping of Greek and Latin vocabularies of politics, the practice of politics in Plato and Proclus, the politics of value in Plato, Aristotle and the Stoics, and the extension of constitutional order to discussions of animals, gods and the cosmos. The volume is dedicated to Professor Malcolm Schofield, one of the world's leading scholars of ancient philosophy.

Book excerpt: "The Republic" (Greek: "Politeia") is a Socratic dialogue, written by Plato around 380 BC, concerning the definition of justice, the order and character of the just city-state and the just man. It is Plato's best-known work and has proven to be one of the most intellectually and historically influential works of philosophy and political theory. In it, Socrates along with various Athenians and foreigners discuss the meaning of justice and examine whether or not the just man is happier than the unjust man by considering a series of different cities coming into existence "in speech," culminating in a city (Kallipolis) ruled by philosopher-kings; and by examining the nature of existing regimes. The participants also discuss the theory of forms, the immortality of the soul, and the roles of the philosopher and of poetry in society.

Download or read book The Voegelinian Revolution written by and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past half-century, Eric Voegelin has produced a demanding body of writing on the philosophy of history and the history of political theory since antiquity. This is the first full-scale treatment of his inquiry into the reality of man's political existence. It includes close readings of the texts, with Voegelin's own comments on them interspersed, offering a thorough explication of the philosopher's quest. Incorporating an "Autobiographical Memoir" prepared in collaboration with Voegelin especially for the volume, Ellis Sandoz interweaves the events of this great thinker's life with the philosophical inquiry to which that life has been devoted. Among the uniquely engaging biographical subjects covered are Voegelin's reminiscences of his involvement with such seminal minds as Max Weber, and with Karl Kraus, Hans Kelsen, and other lights of Vienna's intellectual community of the 1920s and 1930s; a full discussion of his early responses to national socialism and his escape from the Anschluss in 1938; and a summary of his early years in America, with particular attention to the years at Louisiana State University with Cleanth Brooks, Robert Penn Warren, and Robert Heilman. Carefully analyzing Voegelin's contribution to our understanding of ourselves, Sandoz convincingly argues that Voegelin's achievement is revolutionary. He emphasizes the common sense running through Voegelin's thought, and reveals how Voegelin reached a new analysis of reality and provides us with a new science of human affairs. Sandoz does not reveal the "truth to end the quest for truth," but shows how such "stop history" answers are defective. Exploring the meaning of that "first truth" as it has been intellectually and spiritually unraveled by one of our century's leading thinkers, Voegelinian Revolution shows anyone interested in politics and human affairs how to follow Voegelin's path. This book will be of interest to historians, political theorists, students of philosophy and religion, and educated readers concerned about the plight of American/Western civilization and looking for a new view on our current "crisis." Ellis Sandoz, the Hermann Moyse, Jr. Distinguished Professor of Political Science at Louisiana State University and a former chairman of the department, is director of the Eric Voegelin Institute for American Renaissance Studies.

This book was released on 2015-02-18 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Politik - Internationale Politik - Allgemeines und Theorien, Note: 1,0, Universitat Rostock (Institut fur Politik- und Verwaltungswissenschaften), Veranstaltung: Klassiker des politischen Denkens I, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Platon, der mit Sicherheit als einer der einflussreichsten Philosophen der abendlandischen Kultur gesehen werden muss, wurde, nicht zuletzt wegen der Erfahrungen, die die Welt durch den Aufstieg totalitarer Systeme im 20. Jahrhundert erfahren hat und seiner vermeintlichen Feindschaft zur attischen Demokratie, zur Zielscheibe kontroverser Diskussionen. Der hauptsachliche Kern dieser Diskussionen bezog sich vor allem auf den Charakter des von ihm entwickelten Idealstaates und manifestierte sich in der Frage, ob dieser als totalitar zu bezeichnen sei und er demnach selbst Anhanger totalitarer Ideen gewesen sein konnte. Bezuglich dieser Anschuldigungen zum Totalitarismus sticht auf Seiten der Antiplatoniker besonders Karl Popper mit seinem Buch Die offene Gesellschaft und ihre Feinde" heraus, mit dem er die wohl radikalste, weitgehendste und systematischste Kritik an Platon und dessen Werken erarbeitete. Er sieht in ihm einen der Wegbereiter nationalsozialistischer und bolschewistischer Diktaturen und ihrer grauenvollen Verbrechen. Dies ist auch der Grund, warum hauptsachlich die Vorwurfe Poppers zur Grundlage der Untersuchungen und der Uberprufung von Platons Staatsentwurf verwendet werden sollen. [...]

Download or read book The Axial Age and Its Consequences written by Robert N. Bellah and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2012-10-31 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first classics in human history—the early works of literature, philosophy, and theology to which we have returned throughout the ages—appeared in the middle centuries of the first millennium bce. The canonical texts of the Hebrew scriptures, the philosophical writings of Plato and Aristotle, the Analects of Confucius and the Daodejing, the Bhagavad Gita and the teachings of the Buddha—all of these works came down to us from the compressed period of history that Karl Jaspers memorably named the Axial Age. In The Axial Age and Its Consequences, Robert Bellah and Hans Joas make the bold claim that intellectual sophistication itself was born worldwide during this critical time. Across Eurasia, a new self-reflective attitude toward human existence emerged, and with it an awakening to the concept of transcendence. From Axial Age thinkers we inherited a sense of the world as a place not just to experience but to investigate, envision, and alter through human thought and action. Bellah and Joas have assembled diverse scholars to guide us through this astonishing efflorescence of religious and philosophical creativity. As they explore the varieties of theorizing that arose during the period, they consider how these in turn led to utopian visions that brought with them the possibility of both societal reform and repression. The roots of our continuing discourse on religion, secularization, inequality, education, and the environment all lie in Axial Age developments. Understanding this transitional era, the authors contend, is not just an academic project but a humanistic endeavor.
Download or read book Ideal Government and the Mixed Constitution in the Middle Ages written by James M. Blythe and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient Greeks and Romans often wrote that the best form of government consists of a mixture of monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy. Political writers in the early modern period applied this idea to government in England, Venice, and Florence, and Americans used it in designing their constitution. In this history of political thought James Blythe investigates what happened to the concept of mixed constitution during the Middle Ages, when the work of the Greek historian Polybius, the source of many of the formal elements of early modern theory, was unknown in Latin. Although it is generally argued that Renaissance and early modern theories of mixed constitution derived from the revival of classical Polybian models, Blythe demonstrates the pervasiveness of such ideas in high and late medieval thought. The author traces medieval Aristotelian theories concerning the best form of government and concludes that most endorsed a limited monarchy sharing many features with the mixed constitution. He also shows that the major early modern ideas of mixed constitutionalism stemmed from medieval and Aristotelian thought, which partially explains the enthusiastic reception of Polybius in the sixteenth century.

Download or read book Civil Society in the Baltic Sea Region written by Norbert Götz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2003. The Baltic Sea region offers exceptionally rich material for the discussion of civil society. This is because it has witnessed the erosion of communist regimes, the crisis of the welfare state, the increasing importance of new social movements and the shift from a centralist paradigm to one oriented towards networks. This engaging book focuses on the phenomena and prospects for civil society in north-eastern Europe which have had a major impact on political and scholarly debates since 1989. Nineteen experts from the region provide a comprehensive and comparative account of the history, the present state and the perspectives of civil society in the Baltic Sea area. The reader will learn that civil society should not only be seen in opposition to the state and that it has a major impact on current developments of European integration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan dilakukan oleh hampir seluruh bangsa di dunia, dengan menggunakan nama seperti: civic education, citizenship education, democracy education. PKn memiliki peran strategis dalam mempersiapkan warga negara yang cerdas, bertanggung jawab jawab dan berkeadaban. Menurut rumusan Civic International (1995) bahwa “pendidikan demokrasi penting bagi pertumbuhan “civic culture” untuk keberhasilan pengembangan dan pemeliharaan pemerintahan, inilah satu tujuan penting pendidikan “civic” maupun citizenship” untuk mengatasi political apatism demokrasi. Di tengah-tengah perkembangan zaman yang cenderung membawa berbagai pengaruh dalam kehidupan berbangsa dan bernegara, bangsa Indonesia harus tetap mempertahankan Identitas Nasionalnya. Hal ini tidak berarti bangsa Indonesia harus tertutup terhadap dunia luar, melainkan harus menyaring agar tidak bertentangan dengan kepribadian dan nilai-nilai dalam Pancasila. Sejalan dengan perkembangan waktu, demokrasi beserta prinsip-prinsip yang menyertainya mengalami perkembangan, pembaharuan dan pengujian yang terus-menerus. Demokrasi juga mengalami pasang surut, bahkan terdapat perkembangan menarik, hampir semua negara jajahan yang merdeka setelah Perang Dunia II bergeser dari sistem demokrasi menuju non-demokrasi. Kriteria dan prinsip-prinsip demokrasi adalah suatu gejala kontinum, dimana semakin banyak prinsip dijalankan maka semakin demokratis negara tersebut; sebaliknya semakin banyak prinsip ditinggalkan maka semakin tidak demokratis negara tersebut. Banyak negara yang mengupayakan sejauh mungkin prinsip-prinsip itu ditegakkan agar dikatakan sebagai negara demokrasi. Bagaimanapun kondisinya, demokrasi di Indonesia harus tetap ditegakkan, karena prinsip itu merupakan salah satu bagian dari nilai-nilai luhur bangsa Indonesia yang terangkum dalam Pancasila.
