    The Voyage of the Beagle. Charles Darwin's Journal of Researches

    Engelstalige pocket in goede staat. Klassieker.

    Charles Darwin's account of the momentous voyage which set in motion the current of intellectual events leading to The Origin of Species 

    When HMS Beagle sailed out of Devonport on 27 December 1831, Charles Darwin was twenty-two and setting off on the voyage of a lifetime. His journal, here reprinted in a shortened form, shows a naturalist making patient observations concerning geology, natural history, people, places and events. Volcanoes in the Galapagos, the Gossamer spider of Patagonia and the Australasian coral reefs - all are to be found in these extraordinary writings. The insights made here were to set in motion the intellectual currents that led to the theory of evolution, and the most controversial book of the Victorian age: The Origin of Species. This volume reprints Charles Darwin's journal in a shortened form. In their introduction Janet Brown and Michael Neve provide a background to Darwin's thought and work, and this edition also includes notes, maps, appendices and an essay on scientific geology and the Bible by Robert FitzRoy, Darwin's friend and Captain of the Beagle.

    De Nederlandse paus...

    De Nederlandse paus Adrianus van Utrecht, 1459-1523

    Gebonden met omslag, als nieuw

    Adrianus van Utrecht was de zoon van een scheepstimmerman uit Utrecht. Hij werd theoloog, rector van de universiteit van Leuven, opvoeder van Karel v en diens stadhouder in Spanje. Hij was een leermeester van Erasmus en botste met Luther. Het was een onwaarschijnlijke levensloop voor iemand van zijn afkomst. Hij bereidde in Spanje een oorlog voor tegen de Fransen toen de kardinalen in Rome hem in januari 1522 na een eindeloos conclaaf onverwacht tot nieuwe paus kozen. Zuchtend aanvaardde hij dit goddelijke lot. De reis naar het Vaticaan was lang en gevaarlijk, en eenmaal aangekomen wachtte hem een bijna bovenmenselijke opdracht. De kerk balanceerde financieel en moreel op de rand van de afgrond. Met zijn radicale hervormingsplannen en karige levensstijl maakte Adrianus zich niet geliefd in het corrupte Rome van de Renaissance. Na een pontificaat van nauwelijks anderhalf jaar overleed hij, moegestreden, onder verdachte omstandigheden. Hij is de geschiedenis in gegaan als een vreemdeling in Rome, een onbeduidende, tragische tussenpaus. Toch effende hij de weg naar een vernieuwing van de katholieke kerk. Reden waarom de huidige paus bij zijn aanstelling zelfs even overwoog de naam van hervormer Adrianus aan te nemen.00Niet eerder verscheen een toegankelijke publieksbiografie van deze enige paus uit de Lage Landen, en dat is zeer opmerkelijk, want het is een man met een bewogen en bijzonder levensverhaal, dat zich afspeelt op het snijvlak tussen middeleeuwen en vroegmoderne tijd, gegoede adel en ontwikkelde burgerij, katholicisme en het allereerste protestantisme.

    Dividing Lines. The politics of immigration control in America

    Engels. Paperback, in zeer  goede staat

    Immigration is perhaps the most enduring and elemental leitmotif of America. This book is the most powerful study to date of the politics and policies it has inspired, from the founders' earliest efforts to shape American identity to today's revealing struggles over Third World immigration, noncitizen rights, and illegal aliens. Weaving a robust new theoretical approach into a sweeping history, Daniel Tichenor ties together previous studies' idiosyncratic explanations for particular, pivotal twists and turns of immigration policy. He tells the story of lively political battles between immigration defenders and doubters over time and of the transformative policy regimes they built.

    Tichenor takes us from vibrant nineteenth-century politics that propelled expansive European admissions and Chinese exclusion to the draconian restrictions that had taken hold by the 1920s, including racist quotas that later hampered the rescue of Jews from the Holocaust. American global leadership and interest group politics in the decades after World War II, he argues, led to a surprising expansion of immigration opportunities. In the 1990s, a surge of restrictionist fervor spurred the political mobilization of recent immigrants. Richly documented, this pathbreaking work shows that a small number of interlocking temporal processes, not least changing institutional opportunities and constraints, underlie the turning tides of immigration sentiments and policy regimes. Complementing a dynamic narrative with a host of helpful tables and timelines, Dividing Lines is the definitive treatment of a phenomenon that has profoundly shaped the character of American nationhood.

    Spinoza, Liberalism, and the Question of Jewish Identity

    Engels, paperback, als nieuw

    Baruch de Spinoza (1632-1677)--often recognized as the first modern Jewish thinker--was also a founder of modern liberal political philosophy. This book is the first to connect systematically these two aspects of Spinoza's legacy. Steven B. Smith shows that Spinoza was a politically engaged theorist who both advocated and embodied a new conception of the emancipated individual, a thinker who decisively influenced such diverse movements as the Enlightenment, liberalism, and political Zionism.

    Focusing on Spinoza's Theologico-Political Treatise, Smith argues that Spinoza was the first thinker of note to make the civil status of Jews and Judaism (what later became known as the Jewish Question) an essential ingredient of modern political thought. Before Marx or Freud, Smith notes, Spinoza recast Judaism to include the liberal values of autonomy and emancipation from tradition. Smith examines the circumstances of Spinoza's excommunication from the Jewish community of Amsterdam, his skeptical assault on the authority of Scripture, his transformation of Mosaic prophecy into a progressive philosophy of history, his use of the language of natural right and the social contract to defend democratic political institutions, and his comprehensive comparison of the ancient Hebrew commonwealth and the modern commercial republic. According to Smith, Spinoza's Treatise represents a classic defense of religious toleration and intellectual freedom, showing them to be necessary foundations for political stability and liberal regimes. In this study Smith examines Spinoza's solution to the Jewish Question and asks whether a Judaism, so conceived, can long survive.

    The Rediscovery of...

    The Rediscovery of America. Essays on the New Birth of Politics

    Engels. Gebonden met omslag, als nieuw

    Harry V. Jaffa (1918-2015), one of the profoundest political thinkers of his time, is known most prominently for his pathbreaking work on Abraham Lincoln. Jaffa, who taught for 50 years at the Claremont Colleges and was a Distinguished Fellow of the Claremont Institute, sought to produce a revolution in political philosophy by applying Strauss’s controversial thinking about natural right, Scripture, and human greatness to American politics.

    In these 10 essays, beginning in the 1980s, Jaffa rediscovered the moral and intellectual complexity of statesmanship, in particular that of Lincoln and the American founders. The essays reveal the profundity of the Declaration of Independence, in observations both theoretical (e.g., Aristotle and Aquinas) and practical (e.g., campus radicalism). Jaffa takes aim at the interpretations of America made by some of Leo Strauss’s students, chastising their imputation of radically liberal theorizing to the Declaration and their ignorance of the meaning of “all men are created equal.” The Declaration’s radicalism lies rather in its synthesis of ancient political philosophy and Scriptural authority on the good human life. Jaffa is particularly critical of Allan Bloom and, in previously unpublished essays, Irving Kristol and Harvey Mansfield for their errors about America. Jaffa’s essays recover political philosophy in its political and philosophic dimensions so that it can be a continuing guide for our politics today.
