Thomas S. Szasz The Man and His Ideas

Thomas S. Szasz The Man and His Ideas

As it entered the 1960s American institutional psychiatry was thriving with a high percentage of medical students choosing the field. But after Thomas S. Szasz published his masterwork in 1961 The Myth of Mental Illness the psychiatric world was thrown into chaos. Szasz enlightened the world about what he called the “myth of mental illness. ” His point was not that no one is mentally ill or that people labeled as mentally ill do not exist. Instead he believed that diagnosing people as mentally ill was inconsistent with the rules governing pathology and the classification of disease. He asserted that the diagnosis of mental illness is a type of social control not medical science. The editors were uniquely close to Szasz and here they gather for the first time a group of their peers—experts on psychiatry psychology rhetoric and semiotics—to elucidate Szasz’s body of work. Thomas S. Szasz: The Man and His Ideas examines his work and legacy including new material on the man himself and the seeds he planted. They discuss Szasz’s impact on their thinking about the distinction between physical and mental illness addiction the insanity plea schizophrenia and implications for individual freedom and responsibility. This important volume offers insight into and understanding of a man whose ideas were far beyond his time. | Thomas S. Szasz The Man and His Ideas

The End of Economic Man The Origins of Totalitarianism

The End of Economic Man The Origins of Totalitarianism

In The End of Economic Man long recognized as a cornerstone work Peter F. Drucker explains and interprets fascism and Nazism as fundamental revolutions. In some ways this book anticipated by more than a decade the existentialism that came to dominate the European political mood in the postwar period. Drucker provides a special addition to the massive literature on existentialism and alienation since World War II. The End of Economic Man is a social and political effort to explain the subjective consequences of the social upheavals caused by warfare. Drucker concentrates on one specific historical event: the breakdown of the social and political structure of Europe which culminated in the rise of Nazi totalitarianism to mastery over Europe. He explains the tragedy of Europe as the loss of political faith resulting from the political alienation of the European masses. The End of Economic Man is a book of great social import. It shows not only what might have helped the older generation avert the catastrophe of Nazism but also how today's generation can prevent another such catastrophe. This work will be of special interest to political scientists intellectual historians and sociologists. The book was singled out for praise on both sides of the Atlantic and is considered by the author to be his most prescient effort in social theory. | The End of Economic Man The Origins of Totalitarianism

The Social Role of the Man of Knowledge

The Social Role of the Man of Knowledge

In this seminal contribution to the sociology of knowledge first published in 1940 Florian Znaniecki develops a typology of the variety of specific social roles that scholars have played and investigates the normative patterns that govern their behavior. A central tool for the investigation of these problems is the notion of “social circle” the audience to which intellectuals address themselves. Znaniecki shows that thinkers do not speak to the total society but address selected segments and markets. Specific social circles bestow recognition provide material or psychic support and help shape the self-image of the thinker. | The Social Role of the Man of Knowledge

Adam Smith’s Theory of Value and Distribution Economics as a Moral Science Once Again

Adam Smith’s Theory of Value and Distribution Economics as a Moral Science Once Again

Ever since the time of his early interpreters beginning with David Hume Adam Smith’s theory of value has been the subject of confusion and misunderstanding—including a controversy which still rages over whether Smith held a labour theory of value and if so whether he held to it throughout Wealth of Nations or if it was confined to the “Early and Rude State”? This book provides a close reading of Smith’s key text and also incorporates material from the other parts of Smith’s oeuvre especially from The Theory of Moral Sentiments to yield original and important insights into Smith’s theory of value. The book operates on the assumption that Smith is proposing relatively simple ideas about price and takes a conventional view that simple Supply and Demand models can illuminate clearly and consistently with his text his theory of price. Combining these elements the book argues that contra Marx Smith does not have a labour theory of value at all understood as a theory of the determination of the relative price structure. Instead Smith is placed squarely in the supply and demand general equilibrium framework and the claim that he is part of a “surplus tradition” which receives its highest treatment in the work of Piero Sraffa is refuted. This book will be of particular interest to Adam Smith specialists historians of economic thought and research economists who have an interest in Smith. | Adam Smith’s Theory of Value and Distribution Economics as a Moral Science Once Again

The Man on Horseback The Role of the Military in Politics

The Man on Horseback The Role of the Military in Politics

The role of the military in a society raises a number of issues: How much separation should there be between a civil government and its army? Should the military be totally subordinate to the polity? Or should the armed forces be allowed autonomy in order to provide national security? Recently the dangers of military dictatorships-as have existed in countries like Panama Chile and Argentina-have become evident. However developing countries often lack the administrative ability and societal unity to keep the state functioning in an orderly and economically feasible manner without military intervention. Societies of course have dealt with the realities of these problems throughout their histories and the action they have taken at any particular point in time has depended on numerous factors. In the first world of democratic countries the civil-military relationship has been thoroughly integrated and indeed by most modern standards this is seen as essential. However several influential Western thinkers have developed theories arguing for the separation of the military from any political or social role. Samuel Huntington emphasized that professionalism would presuppose that the military should intervene as little as possible in the political sphere. Samuel E. Finer in contrast emphasizes that a government can be efficient enough way to keep the civil-military relationship in check ensuring that the need for intervention by the armed forces in society would be minimal. At the time of the book's original publication perhaps as a consequence of a post-World War II Cold War atmosphere this was by no means a universally accepted position. Some considered the military to be a legitimate threat to a free society. Today's post-Cold War environment is an appropriate time to reconsider Finer's classic argument. The Man on Horseback continues to be an important contribution to the study of the military's role in the realm of politics and will be of interest to students of political science government and the military. | The Man on Horseback The Role of the Military in Politics

Religion of the Semites The Fundamental Institutions

Religion of the Semites The Fundamental Institutions

Scottish Semiticist and Arabist William Robertson Smith was a celebrated biblical critic theorist of religion and theorist of myth. His accomplishments were multiple. Smith's German mentors reconstructed the history of Israelite religion from the Bible itself; Smith ventured outside the Bible to Semitic religion and thereby pioneered the comparative study of religion. Where others viewed religion from the standpoint of the individual Smith approached religion-at least ancient religion-from the standpoint of the group. He asserted that ancient religion was centrally a matter of practice not creed and singlehandedly created the ritualist theory of myth. Since Smith's time the ritualist theory of myth has found adherents not only in biblical studies but in classics anthropology and literature as well. Smith's accomplishments are seen most fully in Religion of the Semites adapted from a number of public lectures he gave at Aberdeen and first published in 1889. Smith delivered three courses of lectures over three years. It is this set that is reprinted here. Only recently were the notes for the second and third courses of lectures discovered and published. Religion of the Semites combines extraordinary philological erudition with brilliant theorizing. Among the fundamental emphases of the book are the foci on sacrifice as the key ritual and non-ancient sacrifice as communion with God rather than as penance for sin. Most important is Smith's use of the comparative method: he uses cross-cultural examples from other primitive peoples to confirm his reconstruction from Semitic sources. Smith combines pioneering sociology and anthropology with a staunchly Christian faith. For him Christianity is an expression of divine revelation. For Smith only continuing revelation can account for the leap from the collective ritualistic and materialistic nature of ancient Semitic religion to the individualistic creedal and spiritualized nature of Christianity. Lectures on the Religion of the Semites manages to meld social science with theology and remains a classic work in the social scientific study of religion. | Religion of the Semites The Fundamental Institutions

Masculine Ideals and Alexander the Great An Exemplary Man in the Roman and Medieval World

Masculine Ideals and Alexander the Great An Exemplary Man in the Roman and Medieval World

From premodern societies onward humans have constructed and produced images of ideal masculinity to define the roles available for boys to grow into and images for adult men to imitate. The figure of Alexander the Great has fascinated people both within and outside academia. As a historical character military commander cultural figure and representative of the male gender Alexander’s popularity is beyond dispute. Almost from the moment of his death Alexander’s deeds have had a paradigmatic aspect: for over 2300 years he has been represented as a paragon of manhood – an example to be followed by other men – and through his myth people have negotiated assumptions about masculinity. This work breaks new ground by considering the ancient and medieval reception of Alexander the Great from a gender studies perspective. It explores the masculine ideals of the Greco-Roman and medieval pasts through the figure of Alexander the Great analysing the gendered views of masculinities in those periods and relating them to the ways in which Alexander’s masculinity was presented. It does this by investigating Alexander’s appearance and its relation to definitions of masculinity the way his childhood and adulthood are presented his martial performance and skill proper and improper sexual behaviour and finally through his emotions and mental attributes. Masculine Ideals and Alexander the Great will appeal to students and scholars alike as well as to those more generally interested in the portrayal of masculinity and gender particularly in relation to Alexander the Great and his image throughout history.

The Artist-Philosopher and Poetic Hermeneutics On Trauma

The Artist-Philosopher and Poetic Hermeneutics On Trauma

Focusing on the aesthetic representation of trauma George Smith outlines the nexus points between poetics and hermeneutics and shows how a particular kind of thinker the artist-philosopher practices interpretation in an entirely different way from traditional hermeneutics. Taking a transhistorical and global view Smith engages artists writers and thinkers from Western and non-Western periods regions and cultures. Thus we see that poetic hermeneutics reconstitutes philosophy and art as hybridizations of art and science the artist and the philosopher subject and object. In turn the artist-philosopher's poetic-hermeneutic reconstitution of philosophy and art is meant to transform human consciousness. This book will be of interest to artists and scholars working in studio practice art history aesthetics philosophy cultural studies history of ideas history of consciousness psychoanalytic studies myth studies literary studies and creative writing. | The Artist-Philosopher and Poetic Hermeneutics On Trauma

Cicero

Cicero

First published in 1965 Cicero contains a number of assessments of Cicero’s life and works made by a group of scholars that includes some of the acknowledged experts in their particular field. Cicero is a man on whom most judgments have been harsh. His political ideals though sincerely held were bypassed by the march of events; his public life was a series of frustrations; his personality was egotistical. However as a speaker and a thinker as a master of the use of language and as a man of cultured interests and human disposition he deserves sympathetic study. The chapters in this volume deal with his political career his character his oratory philosophy and poems and his influence on subsequent literature and scholarship. This book will be of interest to students of literature history and philosophy.

Human Insufficiency Natural Slavery and the Racialization of Vulnerability in Early Modern England

Human Insufficiency Natural Slavery and the Racialization of Vulnerability in Early Modern England

Human Insufficiency argues that early modern writers depict the human political subject as physically vulnerable in order to naturalize slavery. Representations of Man as a weak creature—“poor” and “bare” in King Lear’s words—strategically portrayed English bodies as needing care from people who were imagined to be less fragile. Drawing on Aristotle’s depictions of the natural master and the natural slave in the Politics English writers distinguished the fully human political subject from the sub-human Slave who would care for his feeble body. This justification of a nascent slaving economy reinvents the violence of enslaving Afro-diasporic peoples as a natural system of care. Human Insufficiency’s most important contribution to early modern critical race studies is expanding the scope of the human as a racialized category by demonstrating how depictions of Man as a vulnerable species were part of a discourse racializing slavery. | Human Insufficiency Natural Slavery and the Racialization of Vulnerability in Early Modern England
