Personality in Politics; Reformers, Bosses, and Leaders, what They Do and how They Do it


Book Description

"'Personality in politics' is a book which deals with the human equation. It is a contibution to the literature of practical politics. It analyzes and compares the principal human types in American politics -- leaders, bosses, and reformers -- and explains who they are, what they do, and how they do it. The author shows that many current notions with reference to politics as a practical art are without any foundation in fact, an demonstrates that individual personality plays a larger part in politics than any other factor. The chapter on Reformers explains why Reform so often fails; the chapter on Bosses explains why Bossism so often triumphs. The discussion is illuminated by numerous references to the election campaigns of the past thirty years, especially in the larger American cities."--From the dust-jacket front panel.

Dialectics, Politics, and the Contemporary Value of Hegel's Practical Philosophy


Book Description

This book explores and details the actuality (Aktualität) of Hegel's social and political philosophy--its relevance, topicality, and contemporary validity. It asserts--against the assumptions of those in a wide range of traditions--that Hegel's thought not only remains relevant to debates in current social and political theory, but is capable of productively enhancing and enriching those debates. The book is divided into three main sections. Part I considers the actuality of Hegel's social and political thought in the context of a constructed dialogues with later social and political theorists, including Marx, Adorno, Habermas, and Rawls. Part II explores Hegel's internal criticism of Enlightenment rationality as well as the unique manner in which his thought reaffirms both the classical tradition of politics and the Christian conception of freedom in order to deepen and further develop our understanding of modernity and modern secularity. Part III considers Hegel's contribution to current theorizing about globalization.
