This fresh interpretation of the Cartesian ?cogito? is defended through a close reading of Descartes?s masterpiece, the Meditations . Special attention is paid to the historical roots of Descartes?s interest in free agency, particularly his close ties to the French School of spirituality. Three aspects of Descartes?s personal evolution are considered: his aesthetic evolution from Baroque concealment to Classicism, his political evolution from feudal nostalgia to modern secularism, and his spiritual evolution from Stoic wisdom to active engagement in the world through the scientific project. 410 0$aBrill's studies in intellectual history ;$vv. 142. 606 $aAct (Philosophy) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAct (Philosophy) 676 $a128/.4092 686 $a08.24$2bcl 700 $aDavenport$b Anne Ashley$051103 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458307503321 996 $aDescartes's theory of action$92095561 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04597nam 2200817 a 450 001 9910455504803321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-4008-0433-7 010 $a9786612752360 010 $a1-4008-2186-X 010 $a1-282-75236-7 010 $a1-4008-1228-3 024 7 $a10.1515/9781400821860 035 $a(CKB)111056486502508 035 $a(EBL)668950 035 $a(OCoLC)707068794 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000191791 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11181537 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000191791 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10187103 035 $a(PQKB)10119849 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000438972 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11925743 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000438972 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10459567 035 $a(PQKB)10391012 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC668950 035 $a(OCoLC)614715650 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse36006 035 $a(DE-B1597)446093 035 $a(OCoLC)979757056 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781400821860 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL668950 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10031978 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL275236 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111056486502508 100 $a19951023d1996 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aLiberalism's crooked circle$b[electronic resource] $eletters to Adam Michnik /$fby Ira Katznelson 205 $aCourse Book 210 $aPrinceton, N.J. $cPrinceton University Press$dc1996 215 $a1 online resource (213 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-691-00447-1 311 $a0-691-03438-9 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFront matter --$tCONTENTS --$tPREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS --$tINTRODUCTION: THE CLUB OF THE CROOKED CIRCLE --$tONE.

It speaks to the intellectual and political weaknesses within the liberal tradition that have put the United States at the mercy of libertarian, authoritarian populist, nakedly racist, and traditionalist elitist versions of the right-wing; and it seeks to identify resources that can move the left away from the stunned intellectual incoherence with which it has met the death of Bolshevism. In Ira Katznelson's view, Americans are squandering a tremendous ethical and political opportunity to redefine and reorient the liberal tradition. In an opening essay and two remarkable letters addressed to Adam Michnik, who is arguably East Europe's emblematic democratic intellectual, Katznelson seeks to recover this possibility. By examining issues that once occupied Michnik's fellow dissidents in the Warsaw group known as the Crooked Circle, Katznelson brings a fresh realism to old ideals and posits a liberalism that "stares hard" at cruelty, suffering, coercion, and tyrannical abuses of state power. Like the members of Michnik's club, he recognizes that the circumference of liberalism's circle never runs smooth and that tolerance requires extremely difficult judgments. Katznelson's first letter explores how the virtues of socialism, including its moral stand on social justice, can be related to liberalism while overcoming debilitating aspects of the socialist inheritance. The second asks whether liberalism can recognize, appreciate, and manage human difference. Situated in the lineage of efforts by Richard Hofstadter, C. Wright Mills, and Lionel Trilling to "thicken" liberalism, these letters also draw on personal experience in the radical politics of the 1960's and in the dissident culture of East and Central Europe in the years immediately preceding communism's demise. Liberalism's Crooked Circle could help foster a substantive debate in the American elections of 1996 and determine the contents of that desperately needed discussion. 606 $aLiberalism 606 $aSocialism 606 $aCultural pluralism 606 $aPost-communism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLiberalism. 615 0$aSocialism. 615 0$aCultural pluralism. 615 0$aPost-communism. 676 $a320.5/1 700 $aKatznelson$b Ira$0129222 701 $aMichnik$b Adam$0384693 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455504803321 996 $aLiberalism's crooked circle$92485023 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01073nam a2200289 i 4500 001 991000883439707536 005 20020507175201.0 008 980410s1994 uk ||| | eng 020 $a0582253829 035 $ab10770665-39ule_inst 035 $aLE01303784$9ExL 040 $aDip.to Matematica$beng 082 0 $a512.4 084 $aAMS 16D90 100 1 $aDung, Nguyen Viet$061235 245 10$aExtending modules /$cNguyen Viet Dung ...
