Synopsis
Excerpt from The Decline of Democratic Politics
This task confronts political thought with an inescapable dilemma. What of the tradition is perennially true, and what is but the out growth of particular interests and circumstances? And what in the political experience of the contemporary world is the ephemeral product of historic accident, and what is a manifestation of the eter nal verities of politics? The history of political thought is the story of the gropings with which successive generations have searched for answers to these questions. They had to beware of two temptations which are indeed the horns of the dilemma: either to smother the contemporary world with obsolescent dogma or else to exchange the wisdom of the ages for the innovations of the age.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heart of politics, examining its complexities and inherent dilemmas through a lens informed by both history and philosophy. The author explores the challenges of understanding and controlling society, arguing that the very nature of human interaction makes both tasks inherently difficult. The book explores the difficulties of discerning true patterns in history from the ebb and flow of unique events, highlighting how our understanding of the past can be clouded by our own biases and desires. A central theme is the moral ambiguity of political action, where the pursuit of power often clashes with ethical principles. The book further examines the tension between the drive for practical solutions and the pursuit of theoretical understanding, highlighting the challenges of applying scientific methods to the complexities of human behavior. The author underscores the need for a rigorous and nuanced approach to politics, one that recognizes the interplay of historical forces, moral dilemmas, and the search for truth. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling and insightful exploration of the challenges and possibilities inherent in the human endeavor of governing and being governed.
