[EAN: 9780691001050], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [PU: Princeton University Press, United States, New Jersey], MARK LILLA NEW FRENCH THOUGHT POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY PRINCETON LEGACY LIBRARY, Since the early 1980s France has seen a remarkable flourishing of new work in political philosophy. This anthology brings into English essays by some of the best young French political thinkers writing today, including Marcel Gauchet, Pierre Manent, Luc Ferry, and Alain Renaut. The central theme of these essays is liberal democracy: its nature, its development, its problems, its fundamental legitimacy. Although these themes are familiar to American and British readers, the French approach to them - which is profoundly historical and rooted in the tradition of continental philosophy - is quite different from other approaches. Included in this collection is a series of reconsiderations of French critics of liberal society (Levi-Strauss, Foucault, Bourdieu) and of classical European liberals (Kant, Constant, Tocqueville). The continuing controversies over the nature of the modern era and the place of religion within it play a central role throughout the collection. The book includes a debate on the foundations of human rights and on the nature of a liberal political order. The concluding section presents some of the new sociological writing on modern individualism, its pleasures and its discontents. An introduction by Mark Lilla provides the historical background to the revival of French political thought about liberalism, and offers an analysis of what American and English readers might learn from it. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine., Books<
