Book excerpt: Excerpt from Western Political Heritage The marked trend toward general education courses that deal with the historical development of political ideas and institutions that have shaped our Western culture seems to bear out this conviction.

Download or read book History and Government of West Virginia Classic Reprint written by Virgil Anson Lewis and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History and Government of West Virginia The idea of preparing a history of West Virginia as text-book for use in the public and private schools of the State was not born of a sudden impulse. For more than a quarter of a century the author has been engaged in public school work, and nearly all that time in active classwork in the schoolroom. While so engaged he became strongly impressed with the fact that any course of instruction is seriously defective if it does not include a study that enables pupils to grow familiar with the history of their own State and people. History is also entitled to a place in the curriculum because it possesses high value as a character-builder, because its subject-matter is in itself deeply interesting, and because it readily leads into other subjects of the school course. This book has been prepared for the use of schools, and its aim is to place in the hands of the children of West Virginia a faithful, non-sectarian and non-partisan history of the State in which they will eventually have to discharge the duties of citizens or residents. As West Virginia is one of the many States composing the Great Republic, enough of national history has been interwoven to enable the pupil to perceive in what manner and to what extent the local laws, customs and institutions of the State have been affected by events occurring in the progress of the Nation.

Download or read book A History of Medieval Political Theory in the West Vol 4 Classic Reprint written by R. W. Carlyle and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Medieval Political Theory in the West, Vol. 4 In this volume I have endeavoured to put together some detailed account of the theories of the relations of the Papacy and the Empire from the beginning of the tenth century to the latter part of the twelfth. I have not endeavoured to deal with the more general subject of the relations or oppositions of the ecclesiastical order and the secular. Some aspects of these have been already discussed in the first and second volumes of this work, and we shall probably return to them in the next volume; but I should like to remind our readers that the subject of this work is not the history, either civil or ecclesiastical, of the Middle Ages, but the political theories, and we deal with the relations of the Temporal and Spiritual powers only so far as they seem to us to have tended to influence the development of these theories. I do not indeed think that these relations had as much effect upon political theory in general as has been sometimes suggested. The great political conceptions of the Middle Ages, the supremacy of law, the authority of the community, the contractual relation between ruler and subject, were only incidentally affected by the question of the relations of the two Powers. And yet I think that we are justified in devoting a whole volume to the conflicts of the Empire and the Papacy in the eleventh and twelfth centuries for two reasons.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heart of the West: An American Story Partisanship and Sectionalism are now with us the monsters that stand in the way of truth, and, for a time at least, the walls and thorny hedges that divide parties should be cleared away, and the great field of truth laid open for full and just examination. Old errors should be fully understood and admitted, in order that present errors may be abated; and this should be done in a spirit of lofty candor, and a sacred regard for truth in every point of political history. Starting with the known and incontro vertible facts, the unknown deeps of error may be sounded if not explored, and their secrets revealed, and the super ficial bombast of mere partisan literature give place to the clear light of that accurate and faithful history which alone is valuable as a guide; that lamp of experience that may guide our feet, and whose light is always truly te flected and increased by Revelation.

Download or read book The Terms of Order written by Cedric J. Robinson and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do we live in basically orderly societies that occasionally erupt into violent conflict, or do we fail to perceive the constancy of violence and disorder in our societies? In this classic book, originally published in 1980, Cedric J. Robinson contends that our perception of political order is an illusion, maintained in part by Western political and social theorists who depend on the idea of leadership as a basis for describing and prescribing social order. Using a variety of critical approaches in his analysis, Robinson synthesizes elements of psychoanalysis, structuralism, Marxism, classical and neoclassical political philosophy, and cultural anthropology in order to argue that Western thought on leadership is mythological rather than rational. He then presents examples of historically developed "stateless" societies with social organizations that suggest conceptual alternatives to the ways political order has been conceived in the West. Examining Western thought from the vantage point of a people only marginally integrated into Western institutions and intellectual traditions, Robinson's perspective radically critiques fundamental ideas of leadership and order.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spirit of American Government: A Study of the Constitution; Its Origin, Influence and Relation to Democracy It is the purpose of this volume to trace the influence of our constitutional system upon the political conditions which exist in this country to-day. This phase of our political problems has not received adequate recognition at the hands of writers on American politics. Very Often indeed it has been entirely ignored, although in the Short period which has elapsed since our Constitution was framed and adopted, the Western world has passed through a political as well as an industrial revolution.

Download or read book African American Political Thought written by Melvin L. Rogers and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-05-07 with total page 771 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African American Political Thought offers an unprecedented philosophical history of thinkers from the African American community and African diaspora who have addressed the central issues of political life: democracy, race, violence, liberation, solidarity, and mass political action. Melvin L. Rogers and Jack Turner have brought together leading scholars to reflect on individual intellectuals from the past four centuries, developing their list with an expansive approach to political expression. The collected essays consider such figures as Martin Delany, Ida B. Wells, W. E. B. Du Bois, James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, and Audre Lorde, whose works are addressed by scholars such as Farah Jasmin Griffin, Robert Gooding-Williams, Michael Dawson, Nick Bromell, Neil Roberts, and Lawrie Balfour. While African American political thought is inextricable from the historical movement of American political thought, this volume stresses the individuality of Black thinkers, the transnational and diasporic consciousness, and how individual speakers and writers draw on various traditions simultaneously to broaden our conception of African American political ideas. This landmark volume gives us the opportunity to tap into the myriad and nuanced political theories central to Black life. In doing so, African American Political Thought: A Collected History transforms how we understand the past and future of political thinking in the West.
Download or read book An Introduction to the Local Constitutional History of the United States Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by George Elliott Howard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Local Constitutional History of the United States, Vol. 1 Since the appearance of Freeman's Comparative Politics the theory of an English local constitution whose origin is coeval with the origin of the race has become familiar to every scholar. In that work the real extent and the real limitations of our common Aryan heritage were first disclosed. Already an extensive monographic literature, every day increasing, bears witness to the high value set upon the study of local institutions. But it is a noteworthy fact that local constitutional history, as a unity deserving of sustained and comprehensive treatment, has as yet found few expounders. Bishop Stubbs, it is true, in his account of the higher organism has assigned to the lower its proper space and rank. George Waitz has rendered a similar service for Germany; and the evolution of the mark, village, and other communities on the Continent, has been described at great length by George L.v. Maurer. But the treatise of Dr. Gneist is the only work of first rate importance which has yet been devoted exclusively to the history of local self-government in England. This book, however, is a practical demonstration that the history of the local constitution, for weight and dignity, may rightly take its place on a level with that of the state itself. No compendious treatise on the development of local institutions in the United States has yet appeared. Indeed, until recently, the attempt to produce such a work, if not premature, would at least have proved extremely difficult.
