Original softcover. Etat : Sehr gut. XXII, 558 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Somewhat stained edge, otherwise very good and clean. / Etwas angeschmutzter Schnitt, sonst sehr gut und sauber. - BENJAMIN Constant [1767-1830], born in Switzerland, became one of France's leading writers, as well as a journalist, philosopher and politician. His colorful life included a formative stay at the University of Edinburgh; service at the court of Brunswick, Germany; election to the French Tribunate; and initial opposition and subsequent support for Napoleon, even the drafting of a constitution for the Hundred Days. Constant wrote many books, essays and pamphlets. His deepest conviction was that reform is hugely superior to revolution, both morally and politically. Sir Isaiah Berlin called him "the most eloquent of all defenders of freedom and privacy." While Constant's fluid, dynamic style and lofty eloquence do not always make for easy reading, his text forms a coherent whole, and in his translation Dennis O'Keeffe has focused on retaining the "general elegance and subtle rhetoric" of the original. Principles of Politics, first published in 1815, is a "microcosm of [Constant's] whole political philosophy and an expression of his political experience," says Nicholas Capaldi in his Introduction. "Constant always saw freedom as an organic phenomenon: to attack it in any particular was to attack it generally." In the Principles Constant "explores many subjects: law, sovereignty and representation; power and accountability; government, property and taxation; wealth and poverty; war, peace and the maintenance of public order; and above all freedom, of the individual, of the press, and of religion." This translation is based on Etienne Hofmann's critical edition of Principes de politique (1980), complete with Constant's Additions to the original work. - DENNIS O'KEEFFE is Professor of Social Science at the University of Buckingham and Senior Research Fellow in Education at the Institute of Economic Affairs. He has published widely in the area of education and the social sciences. His books include The Wayward Elite (1990) and Political Correctness and Public Finance (1999). His previous translations include Alain Finkiel-kraut's The Undoing of Thought (La Défaite de la Pensée) (1988). ISBN 9780865973954 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 990.
