Grossman ha descritto questo come la tensione tra arte e moralità: l'arte arresta un senso di cambiamento e produce momenti di godimento e pace incontrollati; ma presto, circostanze mutevoli impongono valutazione, decisione e azione. Secondo Grossman, la migliore arte conserva la tensione tra la consumazione estetica dell'esperienza e la stampa della moralità intesa come attività di navigazione dei conflitti, scelte e bisogni. Questa preoccupazione era intimamente legata alla sua lettura di George Santayana. La migliore filosofia, come la migliore arte, preserva la tensione tra ciò che può essere ordinato e ciò che resiste all'assimilazione, e Grossman interpretava Santayana come un esempio di questa virtù nel suo abbraccio di molteplici prospettive. Altri studiosi hanno notato la molteplicità o l'ironia del lavoro di Santayana, ma Grossman è stato unico nel considerare tale stile come una parte sostanziale del lavoro di Santayana. 410 0$aAmerican philosophy. 600 1$aSantayana,$bGeorge$xFilosofia$2BNCF 676 $a191 700 1$aGROSSMAN,$bMorris$f1922-2012$0791219 702 1$aCOLEMAN,$bMartin A. 801 0$bcba$aIT$bcba$gREICAT 912 $a996405350003316 959 $aEB 969 $aER 996 $aArt and morality$91768461 997 $aUNISA LEADER 04251nam 2200769 450 001 9910792219403321 005 20210427022936.0 010 $a0-8122-9020-8 024 7 $a10.9783/9780812290202 035 $a(CKB)2560000000305146 035 $a(OCoLC)893678266 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10932055 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001335492 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11774584 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001335492 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11287542 035 $a(PQKB)11079144 035 $a(OCoLC)891404391 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse35469 035 $a(DE-B1597)450997 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780812290202 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3442420 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10932055 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL682666 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3442420 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000305146 100 $a20140924h20152015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aEngineering revolution $ethe paradox of democracy promotion in Serbia /$fMarlene Spoerri 205 $aFirst edition. 210 1$aPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania :$cUniversity of Pennsylvania Press,$d2015. 210 4$d©2015 215 $a1 online resource (255 p.) 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 $a1-322-51384-8 311 $a0-8122-4645-4 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFront matter --$tContents --$tList of Abbreviations --$tIntroduction --$t1.

This perceived political success has been used to justify an industry tasked with "exporting" democracy to countries like Belarus, Ukraine, Tunisia, and Egypt. Yet the true extent of the West's involvement in Milo?evi?'s overthrow remained unclear until now. Engineering Revolution uses declassified CIA documents and personal interviews with diplomats, aid providers, and policymakers, as well as thousands of pages of internal NGO documents, to explore what proponents consider one of the greatest successes of the democracy promotion enterprise. Through its in-depth examination of the two decades that preceded and followed Milo?evi?'s unseating, as well as its critical look at foreign assistance targeting Serbia's troubled political party landscape, Engineering Revolution upends the conventional wisdom on the effectiveness of democracy promotion in Serbia. Marlene Spoerri demonstrates that democracy took root in Serbia in spite of, not because of, Western intervention?in fact, foreign intervention often hurt rather than helped Serbia's tenuous transition to democracy. As Western governments recalibrate their agendas in the wake of the Arab Spring, this timely book offers important lessons for the democracy promotion community as it sets its sights on the Middle East, former Soviet Union, and beyond. 606 $aDemocratization$zSerbia 606 $aDemocratization$xGovernment policy$zSerbia 606 $aDemocratization$xInternational cooperation$zSerbia 606 $aRegime change$zSerbia 606 $aPolitical parties$zSerbia 607 $aSerbia$xPolitics and government$y1992-2006 610 $aHuman Rights. 610 $aLaw. 610 $aPolitical Science. 610 $aPublic Policy. 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aDemocratization$xGovernment policy 615 0$aDemocratization$xInternational cooperation 615 0$aRegime change 615 0$aPolitical parties 676 $a320.9497109/0511 700 $aSpoerri$b Marlene$01584860 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792219403321 996 $aEngineering revolution$93868914 997 $aUNINA
