Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Etat : FINE. Etat de la jaquette : FINE. First Edition. Hans Morgenthau's personal copy with publisher's packing slip to his New York address noting 'author's discount' for three copies. xxi, 15412mo, sewn binding in gray cloth, text stamped in black and red. Hans Morgenthau was one of the foremost political theorists of the 20th century. He arrived in the US in 1937 as a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany, going on to a distinguished carreer with appointments and professorships at numberous prestigious institutions including Yale, Harvard, Columbia, California, and the University of Chicago. Morgenthau's outsize impact on the study of international relations in the West cannot be underestimated. His 'Political Realism' theory was immensely influential in American Politics, notably gaining purchase in his consultancy for Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy, as well as in his protege, Henry Kissinger. Dubbing him 'the Pope of Realism,' Stanley Hoffman writes, 'If our discipline has any founding father, it is Mortenthau.' William Scheuerman writes, 'Morgenthau's intellectual agenda effectively dominated the scholarly study of international relations in the United States well into the 1970's. Not only did Morgenthau write two of postwar Realism's most influential books, *Politics Among Nations* and *In Defense of the National Interest*, but he penned about a dozen others, as well as hundreds of scholarly articles on an astonishing range of topics. Unlike most academics, Morgenthau also became a much sought-after public intellectual, and his oftentimes pithy commentaries on foreign affairs appeared regularly in popular magazines and journals, as well as newspapers like the New York Times, from the 1950s onwards. Here in 'Science: Servant or Master', Morgenthau returns to themes explored in his first American book published 25 years prior: the philosophy of science and the role of scientific/technological thinking in modern society. PROVENANCE: From Hans Morgenthau's daughter, Susanna Morgenthau.…
