The Politics


Book Description

Twenty-three centuries after its compilation, 'The Politics' still has much to contribute to this central question of political science. Aristotle's thorough and carefully argued analysis is based on a study of over 150 city constitutions, covering a huge range of political issues in order to establish which types of constitution are best - both ideally and in particular circumstances - and how they may be maintained. Aristotle's opinions form an essential background to the thinking of philosophers such as Thomas Aquinas, Machiavelli and Jean Bodin and both his premises and arguments raise questions that are as relevant to modern society as they were to the ancient world.







The Roots of Liberty


Book Description

The Roots of Liberty is a critical collection of essays on the origin and nature of the often elusive idea of the nature of liberty. Throughout this book, the original and thought-provoking views from scholars J C Holt, Christopher W Brooks, Paul Christianson, and John Phillip Reid offer insights into the development of English ideas of liberty and the relationship those ideas hold to modern conceptions of rule of law. Ellis Sandoz's introduction details Fortescue's vision of the constitution and places each of the essays in historiographical context. Corrine C. Weston's spirited epilogue evaluates the essays' arguments.




Laws


Book Description

The Laws is Plato's last, longest, and perhaps, most famous work. It presents a conversation on political philosophy between three elderly men: an unnamed Athenian, a Spartan named Megillus, and a Cretan named Clinias. They worked to create a constitution for Magnesia, a new Cretan colony that would make all of its citizens happy and virtuous. In this work, Plato combines political philosophy with applied legislation, going into great detail concerning what laws and procedures should be in the state. For example, they consider whether drunkenness should be allowed in the city, how citizens should hunt, and how to punish suicide. The principles of this book have entered the legislation of many modern countries and provoke a great interest of philosophers even in the 21st century.




Unfuck America: A Respectful, Open-Minded Conversation


Book Description

America has its head wedged up so deep, we're looking at tonsils. What are you doing about it? If you're like most people, you're caught somewhere between a frustrated, partisan echo chamber and a finger-pointing media so afraid of being canceled that it's not raising the most important issues we face as a nation. Unfuck America is that rare, multipartisan, no-bull, sometimes-surprising, unstoppably honest, come-to-Jesus book that rises above the hopped-up codewords, gets beneath bias, and dismantles assumptions. It will knock you out of your political box and personal comfort zone to deliver empirical data, hope, critical thinking, and a field manual for individual action.  Drawing from his wild range of experience and travel, Mike Ritland brings his broadened perspective and pattern-disrupting, four-principle framework to interrogate the country's border, mental health and social issues, inequality, guns, human trafficking, healthcare, and even parenting in his ruthlessly open-minded quest to save the country he fiercely dissects and loves.
