Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. The Temporal Organisation of SocietyWhy do some societies endure while others collapse?Why do some nations recover from crisis, conflict, and division while others gradually lose their capacity to govern themselves, maintain legitimacy, and imagine a common future?Political scientists, historians, economists, and philosophers have long sought answers to these questions. Conventional explanations point to institutions, economic development, leadership, culture, ethnicity, ideology, or geography. Yet history repeatedly confronts us with a puzzle: societies facing similar challenges often experience radically different outcomes. Some survive profound crises and emerge stronger, while others disintegrate under pressures that appear comparatively modest.This book proposes that something fundamental has been overlooked.At the heart of every enduring society lies a form of temporal organisation-a capacity to connect past, present, and future into a coherent social process. Societies do not survive merely because of wealth, power, military strength, or constitutional design. They survive because they maintain the conditions through which continuity can be carried across generations.Drawing on history, political theory, sociology, and philosophy, Levent Caglar develops a new framework for understanding social continuity, resilience, and transformation. Through a comparative examination of societies that have endured and societies that have failed, he identifies three essential bonds that sustain collective life: memory, institutions, and expectation. When these bonds weaken, societies become vulnerable to fragmentation and decline. When they are renewed and strengthened, societies regain their capacity for resilience and renewal.The book advances a powerful reinterpretation of several familiar political concepts.A nation is redefined not as a shared origin but as a shared temporal horizon. Democracy is presented not merely as a method of selecting governments but as a way of organising a society's relationship to the future. Citizenship becomes more than a legal status; it becomes participation in a shared project of historical continuity. The state itself is understood as a dynamic process rather than a static structure.Building upon these insights, the book develops the concept of the Ethical Republic-a political order in which no group is excluded from participation in the collective future and in which the future remains permanently open to democratic revision. Here, freedom, equality, inclusion, and institutional durability are not treated as competing values but as interconnected dimensions of a society's long-term stability.In its final chapters, the work moves beyond description and political theory toward a broader philosophical interpretation of social existence. Throughout, the author carefully distinguishes between empirical observation, normative argument, and ontological interpretation. The result is a work that combines intellectual ambition with methodological discipline, offering a framework that is both philosophically original and open to critical examination.The Temporal Organisation of Society stands at the intersection of social theory, political philosophy, historical sociology, and the philosophy of time. It speaks to scholars and general readers alike who seek to understand the forces that hold societies together, the causes of their decline, and the conditions under which democratic communities can endure.At a time when many societies face deep political polarisation, institutional distrust, democratic erosion, and uncertainty about the future, this book offers a new way of thinking about collective life-not as a fixed inheritance, but as an ongoing act of carrying a shared future forward in time.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The nation is one of the most influential forces in modern history. Wars have been fought in its name, revolutions have been inspired by it, states have been built around it, and millions of people continue to define their identity through it. Yet despite its central place in political life, the nation remains one of the most debated and misunderstood concepts in the social sciences.What Is a Nation? The Anatomy of Society confronts this question directly. Rather than accepting traditional explanations, Levent Caglar undertakes a wide-ranging investigation into the historical, social, economic, cultural, and political foundations of nationhood. The result is a comprehensive examination of how nations emerge, why they persist, and how they continue to shape the modern world.The book challenges two dominant assumptions. First, it rejects the belief that nations are timeless entities rooted in ancient ethnic origins. Second, it rejects the idea that nations are merely imagined or invented political constructions. Instead, it argues that nations are real social formations created through long historical processes involving economic integration, linguistic development, territorial consolidation, cultural interaction, and collective consciousness.Beginning with the social transformations that reshaped Europe between the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries, the book explores the impact of the Black Death, the Renaissance, the Reformation, the printing revolution, the Enlightenment, and the emergence of capitalism. These developments gradually dissolved older forms of social organization and created the conditions for the rise of modern nations.The analysis moves beyond historical origins to address some of the most important questions in contemporary political theory. What distinguishes a nation from a state? How do civic nations differ from ethnic nations? What role do language, culture, territory, and economic life play in national development? Why do some national movements promote democracy and self-government while others become vehicles of exclusion and authoritarianism? What is the relationship between sovereignty, citizenship, freedom, and collective identity?Throughout the book, Caglar engages critically with major thinkers including Ernest Renan, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Alexis de Tocqueville, Adam Smith, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Benedict Anderson, Ernest Gellner, Eric Hobsbawm, Anthony D. Smith, Giuseppe Mazzini, and many others. Their insights are examined, challenged, and integrated into a broader framework that seeks to understand the nation as a dynamic and evolving social phenomenon.A central argument of the book is that nations are not static entities. They are living formations that continually adapt to changing economic realities, technological developments, migration patterns, political institutions, and global transformations. Understanding nations therefore requires understanding history itself-not as a sequence of isolated events, but as an ongoing process of social development and human organization.At a time when debates over nationalism, globalization, multiculturalism, citizenship, borders, and sovereignty dominate political discourse across the world, What Is a Nation? provides an intellectually rigorous and historically grounded contribution to one of the defining questions of our age.This volume is the first book in The Life of Nations series and lays the theoretical foundation for subsequent studies of republicanism, democracy, nationalism, sovereignty, civic identity, and the future of political communities. Written for scholars, students, policymakers, and general readers interested in the nature of collective life, it offers a fresh and original perspective on the forces that continue to shape the destiny of nat Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
