''Man was born free, and everywhere he is in chains.'' These are the famous opening words of a treatise that has stirred vigorous debate ever since its first publication in 1762. Rejecting the view that anyone has a natural right to wield authority over others, Rousseau argues instead for a pact, or ''social contract'', that should exist between all the citizens of a state and that should be the source of sovereign power. From this fundamental premise, he goes on to consider issues of liberty and law, freedom and justice, arriving at a view of society that has seemed to some a blueprint for totalitarianism, to others a declaration of democratic principles.Translated by Quintin HoareWith a new introduction by Christopher Bertram

Widely regarded as the first modern autobiography, The Confessions is an astonishing work of acute psychological insight. Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-78) argued passionately against the inequality he believed to be intrinsic to civilized society. In his Confessions he relives the first fifty-three years of his radical life with vivid immediacy - from his earliest years, where we can see the source of his belief in the innocence of childhood, through the development of his philosophical and political ideas, his struggle against the French authorities and exile from France following the publication of Émile. Depicting a life of adventure, persecution, paranoia, and brilliant achievement, The Confessions is a landmark work by one of the greatest thinkers of the Enlightenment, which was a direct influence upon the work of Proust, Goethe and Tolstoy among others.

Elektronická kniha - autor Milan Sobotka, 66 stran, česky Milan Sobotka, emeritní profesor novověké filosofie na Univerzitě Karlově v Praze, ve své knize o Jeanu-Jacquesu Rousseauovi vychází z předpokladu, že Rousseau je objevitelem hodnoty druhého (a druhých) pro každého jedince. Nejprve – v Rozpravě o původu nerovnosti – jde o hodnotu druhého v teorii intersubjektivity, jejímž je Rousseau možná prvním představitelem, později – zejména ve spise O společenské smlouvě – přechází Rousseau k pojetí druhého a druhých jako subjektů vzájemného uznání. Podle Hegela je právě Rousseau prvním filosofem svobodné vůle jedinců jako média vzájemného uznání, jímž je konstituován stát. Rousseau tak u Hegela zaujímá prvořadé postavení v novověké politické teorii. Z tohoto hlediska mají Rousseauovy výzvy k větší majetkové rovnosti ve společnosti, pokud překračují meze politické rovnosti, až druhořadý význam. Milan Sobotka se proto věnuje především ukázání významu druhého a...

Úvahy o polské vládě (1771) jsou posledním Rousseauovým politickým dílem, vznikly v době, kdy se Rousseau po mnohých peripetiích vrátil v červnu 1770 do Paříže a věnoval se psaní biografických děl, která podle autorova přání vyšla až po jeho smrti. Impulsem pro vznik Úvah byla žádost vzbouřených polských konfederátů o sepsání reformy polské ústavy. Rousseau této žádosti vyhověl pod podmínkou, že jeho spis nebude zveřejněn, ilegální kopie díla však v Paříži kolovaly již rok po jeho dokončení. Rousseau v tomto spisu řeší možnost přežití polského národa ve chvíli ohrožení státní existence Polska. Předjímá tak národnostní hnutí 19. století a opět se ukazuje jako bytostně originální myslitel. Úvahy o polské vládě svými četnými odkazy na Společenskou smlouvu potvrzují jednotu autorova politického myšlení i to, že Rousseau ani v pozdní fázi svého života neztratil nic ze síly své výřečnosti a svého přesvědčení. Překlad je doplněn vysvětlivkami překladatelky, rejstříkem, seznamem literatury a doslovem zasazujícím tento spis do dobových reálií.

In A Discourse on Inequality Rousseau sets out to demonstrate how the growth of civilization corrupts man’s natural happiness and freedom by creating artificial inequalities of wealth, power and social privilege. Contending that primitive man was equal to his fellows, Rousseau believed that as societies become more sophisticated, the strongest and most intelligent members of the community gain an unnatural advantage over their weaker brethren, and that constitutions set up to rectify these imbalances through peace and justice in fact do nothing but perpetuate them. Rousseau’s political and social arguments in the Discourse were a hugely influential denunciation of the social conditions of his time and one of the most revolutionary documents of the eighteenth-century.

French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote, ‘the general effect of the theatre is to strengthen the national character to augment the national inclinations, and to give a new energy to all the passions’. During the Enlightenment, the advancement of radical ideas along with the emergence of the bourgeois class contributed to a renewed interest in theatre’s efficacy, informed by philosophy yet on behalf of politics. While the 18th century saw a growing desire to define the unique and specific features of a nation’s drama, and audiences demanded more realistic portrayals of humanity, theatre is also implicated in this age of revolutions. A Cultural History of Theatre in the Age of Enlightenment examines these intersections, informed by the writings of key 18th-century philosophers. Richly illustrated with 45 images, the ten chapters each take a different theme as their focus: institutional frameworks; social functions; sexuality and gender; the environment of theatre; circulation; interpretations; communities of production; repertoire and genres; technologies of performance; and knowledge transmission.

Napoleon, Mussolini, Voltaire, even Mafia man John Gotti – they all read Machiavelli’s The Prince. Philosophers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, David Hume and Adam Smith were influenced by it. And the book’s ideas led to the term Machiavellian entering the language. But the influence of The Prince has reached far beyond the world of politics, with business and management gurus applying Machiavelli’s ideas to corporate strategy: what was true for princes then, can be applied by leaders today. Machiavelli himself was a Florentine politician and diplomat who admired and knew Cesare Borgia, and was himself a victim of torture by the Medici family. Written in the early 16th century, The Prince is a treatise is on how princes can not only best gain, but maintain power. He suggests how princes can avoid being hated but remain being feared by their people, he advocates pragmatic realism against political idealism, he encourages ambition, he defends evil and explains through classical and Renaissance examples which princes are the most successful. Of immense importance to politicians and corporate leaders, The Prince is a classic text richly deserving this exquisite edition.

Switzerland is home to illustrious soul-searchers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778) and Carl Gustav Jung (1875–1961). The small country in the heart of Europe has a density of historic and current hotspots of psychiatry and psychoanalysis like hardly any other place in the world. From Geneva to Zurich, from Kreuzlingen, on the shore of the Lake Constance in the north, to Monte Verità near Ascona, close to the Italian border in the south, a dense network stretches across the map. Switzerland as a psycho-geographic space thus became a hub of psychoanalysis with a global reach.Coinciding with C.G. Jung''s 150th birthday, this book for the first time contextualises his thought and influence with the overall history of psychoanalysis in Switzerland. Besides Jung, its protagonists include, among other, Ludwig Binswanger, pioneer of existential psychology; Jean Piaget, best-known for his research of child development; Goldy and Paul Parin-Matthèy and Fritz Morgenthaler, co-founders of the Zurich School of Ethno-psychoanalysis; and Judith le Soldat with her radical feminist Nimbus theory.Twelve thematic essays by distinguished authors are supplemented and put into perspective by key historical texts and art works, as well as visual material and documents, many of them from archives that have so far been ...

A new collection of Shaw''s major political writings presents an opportunity to reflect on his influential role as a public intellectual. At the forefront of economic and political debate from the 1880s to the 1950s, George Bernard Shaw was once the most widely read socialist writer in the English language, and his lifelong crusade against inequality and exploitation is far from irrelevant today. The thorough interpenetration of Shaw''s literary and political engagements is an unusual story in modern literature, and this volume offers a portrait of Shaw as a political artist in the purest possible sense: that is, as a writer of essays, articles, pamphlets, and books with explicitly and expressly political aims. The selected writings in this volume showcase Shaw''s most influential and most accomplished political work, but also provide a cross-section that is representative of the whole of his long career.

Po dětech si Sempé vzal na paškál venkovany a jejich styl života. Jean-Jacques Sempé (* 1932) je francouzský humoristický kreslíř. V Česku je slavný ilustracemi k sérii knih Reného Goscinnyho Mikulášovy patálie, je ale především autorem legendárních kreslených knih, příběhů a vtipů. První vtipy a karikatury nakreslil ve dvanácti letech, o dva roky později opustil školu a vystřídal několik dočasných zaměstnání: byl prodavačem kol, podomním obchodníkem se zubní pastou v prášku, praktikantem na dětských táborech a dodavatelem vína. Na začátku padesátých let se před ním otevřela kariéra humoristického kreslíře. První kresby otiskuje v novinách Sud Ouest. Belgický rozhlasový týdeník Le Moustique použil několik jeho kreseb na titulní stranu a Sempé byl záhy požádán, aby vytvořil vlastní postavičku. Nakreslil chlapečka na kole a dal mu jméno malý Mikuláš (podle reklamy na obchod s vínem Nicolas). Šéfredaktor ho propojil s Reném Goscinnym, aby společně udělali komiks. Vznikla série komiksových gagů, které byly v časopise uveřejňovány každý týden. O několik let později vyšla o Mikulášovi první kniha. Od roku 1953 Sempé pravidelně publikuje v několika zásadních francouzských novinách a časopisech, v roce 1978 se poprvé stane autorem obálky New Yorkeru. Od roku 1962 vydává téměř každoročně album kreslených humorných příběhů.

`An army of principles will penetrate where an army of soldiers cannot . . . it will march on the horizon of the world and it will conquer.'' Thomas Paine was the first international revolutionary. His Common Sense (1776) was the most widely read pamphlet of the American Revolution; his Rights of Man (1791-2) was the most famous defence of the French Revolution and sent out a clarion call for revolution throughout the world. He paid the price for his principles: he was outlawed in Britain, narrowly escaped execution in France, and was villified as an atheist and a Jacobin on his return to America. Paine loathed the unnatural inequalities fostered by the hereditary and monarchical systems. He believed that government must be by and for the people and must limit itself to the protection of their natural rights. But he was not a libertarian: from a commitment to natural rights he generated one of the first blueprints for a welfare state, combining a liberal order of civil rights with egalitarian constraints. This collection brings together Paine''s most powerful political writings from the American and French revolutions in the first fully annotated edition of these works. ABOUT THE SERIES: For ...

What are the basic principles of political secularisms? Why are secularism and Atheism often confused? What is the relationship between secularism and LGBTQ rights?

A fascinating insight into the influence that politics has upon business practices and consumer behaviour - and the development opportunities that this can provide.The New Political Capitalism bridges the gap between the reality of the relationship between business and politics, and the lack of familiarity of the business community, even at the most senior levels, with political thinking. The book demonstrates how businesses that develop effective political antennae can enhance their performance in the emerging age of Political Capitalism. it challenges the notion that business is, or can ever be, ''apolitical'', and argues that politics – the visible reflection of social values and cultural trends – shapes the environment in which business operates. More and more people are becoming politicised in the sense that they have strong views about how our societies should function – and the role that business must play. Socio-political issues increasingly affect purchasing decisions with the marketplace becoming one way in which citizens express their political identity – the rise of what some have called ''political consumerism''. Markets themselves are politically constructed, and investors increasingly focus on corporations'' political positions.Drawing upon extensive research and case studies, this book weaves together socio-political trends with business purpose, strategy ...

It is frequently said that we are living through the end of politics, the end of social upheavals, the end of utopian folly. Consensual realism is the order of the day. But political realists, remarks Jacques Ranciere, are always several steps behind reality, and the only thing which may come to an end with their dominance is democracy. In these subtle and perceptive essays, Ranciere argues that since Plato and Aristotle politics has always constructed itself as the art of ending politics, that realism is itself utopian, and that what has succeeded the polemical forms of class struggle is not the wisdom of a new millennium but the return of old fears, criminality and chaos. Whether he is discussing the confrontation between Mitterrand and Chirac, French working-class discourse after the 1830 revolution, or the ideology of recent student mobilizations, his aim is to restore philosophy to politics and give politics back its original and necessary meaning: the organization of dissent.

Written in the intense political and intellectual tumult of the early years of the Weimar Republic, Political Theology develops the distinctive theory of sovereignty that made Carl Schmitt one of the most significant and controversial political theorists of the twentieth century.Focusing on the relationships among political leadership, the norms of the legal order, and the state of political emergency, Schmitt argues in Political Theology that legal order ultimately rests upon the decisions of the sovereign. According to Schmitt, only the sovereign can meet the needs of an “exceptional” time and transcend legal order so that order can then be reestablished. Convinced that the state is governed by the ever-present possibility of conflict, Schmitt theorizes that the state exists only to maintain its integrity in order to ensure order and stability. Suggesting that all concepts of modern political thought are secularized theological concepts, Schmitt concludes Political Theology with a critique of liberalism and its attempt to depoliticize political thought by avoiding fundamental political decisions.

McManus presents an intellectual history of the conservative and reactionary tradition, stretching from Aristotle and Filmer to Alexander Dugin and Patrick Deneen. Providing a comprehensive critical genealogy of the intellectual political right, McManus traces its core to a nostalgia for the hierarchical cosmos of antiquarian and scholastic thinking. The yearning for a shared vision of the universe where each part of reality has its place maps onto the conservative admiration for orderly political and social stratification. It stamps even the more moderate forms of liberal conservatism which emerged in the aftermath of the revolutionary 18th century, as the political right struggled to accept and later master first the politics of liberal capitalism and later universal suffrage. In its most radical forms this nostalgia for an orderly and hierarchical existence can harden into a resentment at the perceived shallowness of liberal modernity. McManus argues for those who support the project of modernity to commit themselves to better understanding the depth of the political right’s critiques, many of which expose uncomfortable but solvable problems with the quest for equality and freedom. A critical guide to the history of conservative and reactionary thought for students and scholars of political science and political history.While ... Unknown localization key: "more"
