The Conscience of a Conservative

The Conscience of a Conservative

Published in 1960 under the name of Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater, “The Conscience of a Conservative” is a widely influential and important book on the American conservative political movement. While the book was published under Goldwater’s name, it was ghostwritten by L. Brent Bozell Jr., the brother-in-law of William F. Buckley and Goldwater’s speech writer in the 1950s. The book was instantly popular and catapulted Goldwater, a Senator from Arizona when the book was published, into the...

The Social Contract (Translated by G. D. H. Cole with an Introduction by Edward L. Walter)

Originally published in 1762, “The Social Contract” is Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s treatise on how to best organize politics in the face of commercial society. Rousseau writes, “Man is born free; and everywhere he is in chains.” This statement exemplifies the main dilemma of government, that despite mankind having an inherent natural right to freedom, modern, especially autocratic, governments had gone too far in restricting it. The question which Rousseau is asking within this work is whether or...

Politics (Translated by Benjamin Jowett)

Greek philosopher and scientist, Aristotle, lived in the 4th century B.C. and is thought of as one of the most important figures from classical antiquity. Aristotle was probably the most famous member of Plato’s Academy in Athens, whose writings would ultimately form the first comprehensive system of Western philosophy. His writings were not constrained to simply one field of inquiry but covered such various subjects as physics, biology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics, rhetoric,...

Utopia (Translated by Gilbert Burnet with Introductions by Henry Morley and William D. Armes)

Thomas More, a 16th century English lawyer, statesman, and philosopher, was one of the most controversial figures of his time. More opposed the Protestant reformation and denied the King’s position as head of the Church of England. This act would ultimately lead to his trial for treason and execution. Despite his tragic downfall, he will forever be remembered for his pioneering work “Utopia.” Thomas More first coined the word utopia in his 1516 book of the same name. Although the concept of a...

The Communist Manifesto (with an Introduction by Algernon Lee)

First published in 1848, “The Communist Manifesto” is a political pamphlet by German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, which initiated in one of the greatest movements of political change that the world has ever seen. At the heart of the economic writings of Marx and Engels is the materialist conception of history, or that productive capacity is the primary organizing factor of society. This conception gives rise to the fundamental inequality that exists between the socioeconomic...

Common Sense (with a Biographical Introduction by John M. Robertson)

First published on January 10, 1776, Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense” was one the most influential and best-selling works from the colonial period. It has been suggested that it may have been the single biggest factor in inspiring the people of the Thirteen Colonies to declare and fight for their independence from Great Britain beginning in the summer of 1776. One of the central political arguments amongst the colonists of the pre-revolutionary period was whether or not they should indeed seek...

Основываясь на интервью с писателями, музыкантами, художниками, артистами, автор книги утверждает, что если в эпоху Возрождения художники были ремесленниками, в XIX веке – богемой, в XX веке – профессионалами, то в цифровую эпоху возникает новая парадигма, которая меняет наши представления о природе искусства и роли художника в обществе. ...

Польский театр Катастрофы

Польский театр Катастрофы

Трагедия Холокоста была крайне болезненной темой для Польши после Второй мировой войны. Несмотря на известные факты помощи поляков евреям, большинство польского населения, по мнению автора этой книги, занимало позицию «сторонних наблюдателей» Катастрофы. Такой постыдный опыт было трудно осознать современникам войны и их потомкам, которые охотнее мыслили себя в категориях жертв и героев. Усугубляли проблему и цензурные ограничения, введенные властями коммунистической Польши. Книга Гжегожа...

От главного врага Сталина Льва Троцкого до критика Владимира Путина Владимира Кара-Мурзы – младшего – политические эмигранты всегда находились под прицелом российских и советских спецслужб. Кто бы ни сидел в Кремле, покинувших родину диссидентов, олигархов и журналистов провоцировали, пытались запугать, подкупить или ликвидировать. В фокусе новой книги журналистов Андрея Солдатова и Ирины Бороган – кровавая история российского шпионажа, написанная по следам секретных операций за рубежом.

Миф о красоте. Стереотипы против женщин

«Миф о красоте» – культовое произведение американской писательницы и журналистки Наоми Вульф. В нем автор рассказывает о том, откуда берутся стереотипные представления о женской красоте и почему они ограничивают свободу женщин не меньше, чем патриархальное «домашнее рабство». Физическое совершенство становится для женщин навязчивой идеей, а несоответствие ему – источником страданий. Но даже достигнув идеала, женщина все равно проигрывает, поскольку приносит в жертву общепринятому стандарту...

Some Causes of Organizational Ineffectiveness Within the Department of State (Occasional Paper #2)

So vast has the international commitment of our government grown in the last decades, and with this the corresponding increase in the staff engaged in foreign affairs activities, that it is no longer possible to find the channels for personal communications we once had. Yet undoubtedly today’s officers are engaged in a wider variety of experiences than ever before in our history. This series of Occasional Papers produced by the Center for International Systems Research was designed to...
