Download or read book Rugged Individualism written by David Davenport and published by Hoover Press. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, American "rugged individualism" is in a fight for its life on two battlegrounds: in the policy realm and in the intellectual world of ideas that may lead to new policies. In this book, the authors look at the political context in which rugged individualism flourishes or declines and offer a balanced assessment of its future prospects. They outline its path from its founding—marked by the Declaration of Independence—to today, focusing on different periods in our history when rugged individualism was thriving or was under attack. The authors ultimately look with some optimism toward new frontiers of the twenty-first century that may nourish rugged individualism. They assert that we cannot tip the delicate balance between equality and liberty so heavily in favor of equality that there is no liberty left for individual Americans to enjoy. In considering reasons to be pessimistic as well as reasons to be optimistic about it, they also suggest where supporters of rugged individualism might focus greater encouragement and resources.

Download or read book Individualism Old and New written by John Dewey and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The subject of individualism, in our age when the individual seems to be threatened by impersonal governmental and social forces, has suddenly become a vital issue, and Dewey is just the man to read on the subject of individual responsibilities and rights. Individualism: Old and New is not a book of technical philosophy but, rather, of social comment. Such chapters as 'A House Divided Against Itself, ' 'The Lost Individual, ' 'Capitalistic or Public Socialism, ' 'The Crisis in Culture, ' pierces to the heart of the problem. Both as a brilliant exercise in ethics and historical philosophy, and as a suggestive and virtuoso exercise in clear thinking, Individualism is an important book for the twentieth century man."--Back cover

Download or read book From Power to Prejudice written by Leah N. Gordon and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-05-20 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gordon provides an intellectual history of the concept of racial prejudice in postwar America. In particular, she asks, what accounts for the dominance of theories of racism that depicted oppression in terms of individual perpetrators and victims, more often than in terms of power relations and class conflict? Such theories came to define race relations research, civil rights activism, and social policy. Gordon s book is a study in the politics of knowledge production, as it charts debates about the race problem in a variety of institutions, including the Rockefeller Foundation, the University of Chicago s Committee on Education Training and Research in Race Relations, Fisk University s Race Relations Institutes, Howard University s "Journal of Negro Education," and the National Conference of Christians and Jews."
Download or read book Rethinking the Individualism Holism Debate written by Julie Zahle and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of papers investigates the most recent debates about individualism and holism in the philosophy of social science. The debates revolve mainly around two issues: firstly, whether social phenomena exist sui generis and how they relate to individuals. This is the focus of discussions between ontological individualists and ontological holists. Secondly, to what extent social scientific explanations may and should, focus on individuals and social phenomena respectively. This issue is debated amongst methodological holists and methodological individualists. In social science and philosophy, both issues have been intensively discussed and new versions of the dispute have appeared just as new arguments have been advanced. At present, the individualism/holism debate is extremely lively and this book reflects the major positions and perspectives within the debate. This volume is also relevant to debates about two closely related issues in social science: the micro-macro debate and the agency-structure debate. This book presents contributions from key figures in both social science and philosophy, in the first such collection on this topic to be published since the 1970s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Socialism and Individualism Hence the growing value of correct principles of social action, of valid ideals for social aspiration. Hence, there fore, the importance, for Weal or for woe, of the change in social ideals and principles which marks off the present generation of Socialists from the surviving economists and statesmen brought up in the Manchester school. We may, of course, prefer not to accept the watchwords or shibboleths of either party we may carefully guard our selves against the falsehood of extremes we may be lieve that we can really steer a middle course. This comforting reflection of the practical man is, however, an unphilosophical delusion. As each difficulty of the present day comes up for solution, our action or inaction must, for all our caution, necessarily incline to one side or the other. We may help to modify the social organism either in the direction of a more general Collectivism or in that of a more perfect Individualism it Will be hard, even by doing nothing, to leave the balance just as it was. It becomes, accordingly, of vital importance to examine not only our practical policy, but also our ideals and principles of action, even if we do not intens't to follow these out to their logical conclusion.
