Book Description
In A Government of Laws, which includes a new preface, Ellis Sandoz reevaluates the traditional understanding of the philosophic and intellectual background of the American founding. Through an exhaustive assessment of Renaissance, medieval, and ancient political philosophy, he shows that the founding fathers were consciously and explicitly seeking to create a political order that would meet the demands of human nature and society. This rigorous and searching analysis of the sources of political and constitutional theory generates an original and provocative approach to American thought and experience.

Book Description
"Political Philosophy: Government and Human Nature" features the writing of some of the greatest political philosophers from ancient times to the present, along with concise introductions that highlight and explain the major points of each selection. Readers are introduced to the ideas of Socrates and Plato, Aristotle s writing on politics and ethics, and the meditations of Marcus Aurelius. They become familiar with Jean Jacques Rousseau s view of the social contract, and Immanuel Kant s work on the categorical imperative and perpetual peace. The work of Mary Wollstonecraft addresses the rights of women, and Martin Luther King s "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" provides insight into more contemporary issues of race and society. Additionally, students explore the philosophies of Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill, and Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, whose manifesto on communism changed systems of economics and governments. An excellent, accessible introduction to the ideas that have both recorded and shaped history, "Political Philosophy: Government and Human Nature" is suitable for undergraduate political philosophy courses. Nicholas Caste earned his Ph.D. at Emory University. Dr. Caste is a member of the faculty in the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where he has taught additional courses in the Department of Philosophy.

His articles have been published in the "Journal of Social Philosophy," the "Journal of Value Enquiry" and the "Journal of Business Ethics." Dr. Caste also co-authored the book "Thinking Critically: Techniques for Logical Reasoning."

Book Description
This book outlines the history of American antifederalism and proposes it as the philosophy of government best suited to the nation's needs in the 21st century. Its applicability is buttressed by real examples of its use and ways it can be employed to attack our most severe problems. No other book specifically connects antifederalism to our future after exploring its past. This book deals with the realities of local government and proposes solution to our main socio-economic problems that are both consistent with the philosophy of antifederalism and practical applications of localism.

Book Description
"In what must be ranked as a foremost classic of twentieth-century political philosophy, George Santayana, in the preface to his last major work prior to his death, makes plain the limits as well as the aims of Dominations and Powers: ""All that it professes to contain is glimpses of tragedy and comedy played unawares by governments; and a continual intuitive reduction of political maxims and institutions to the intimate spiritual fruits that they are capable of bearing.""This astonishing volume shows how the potential beauty latent in all sorts of worldly artifacts and events are rooted in differing forms of power and dominion. The work is divided into three major parts: the generative order of society, which covers growth in the jungle, economic arts, and the liberal arts; the militant order of society, which examines factions and enterprise; and the rational order of society, which contains one of the most sustained critiques of democratic systems and liberal ideologies extant.Written at a midpoint in the century, but at the close of his career, Santayana's volume offers an ominous account of the weakness of the West and its similarities in substance, if not always in form, with totalitarian systems of the East. Few analyses of concepts, such as government by the people, the price of peace and the suppression of warfare, the nature of elites and limits of egalitarianism, and the nature of authority in free societies, are more comprehensive or compelling. This is a carefully rendered statement on tasks of leadership for free societies that take on added meaning after the fall of communism.The author of a definitive biography of Santayana, John McCormick provides the sort of deep background that makes possible an assessment of Dominations and Powers. He permits us to better appreciate the place of this work at the start no less than conclusion of Santayana's long career. For the author of The Life of Reason himself ad"
