Hegel's Critique of Liberalism

Hegel's Critique of Liberalism

Steven B. Smith

University of Chicago Press
1991
nidottu
In Hegel's Critique of Liberalism, Steven B. Smith examines Hegel's critique of rights-based liberalism and its relevance to contemporary political concerns. Smith argues that Hegel reformulated classic liberalism, preserving what was of value while rendering it more attentive to the dynamics of human history and the developmental structure of the moral personality. Hegel's goal, Smith suggests, was to find a way of incorporating both the ancient emphasis on the dignity and even architectonic character of political life with the modern concern for freedom, rights, and mutual recognition. Smith's insightful analysis reveals Hegel's relevance not only to contemporary political philosophers concerned with normative issues of liberal theory but also to political scientists who have urged a revival of the state as a central concept of political inquiry.

Spinoza’s Book of Life

Spinoza’s Book of Life

Steven B. Smith

Yale University Press
2003
sidottu
Most readers of Spinoza treat him as a pure metaphysician, a grim determinist, or a stoic moralist, but none of these descriptions captures the author of the Ethics, argues Steven B. Smith in this intriguing book. Offering a new reading of Spinoza’s masterpiece, Smith asserts that the Ethics is a celebration of human freedom and its attendant joys and responsibilities and should be placed among the great founding documents of the Enlightenment.Two aspects of Smith’s book distinguish it from other studies. It treats the famous “geometrical method” of the Ethics as a form of moral rhetoric, a model for the construction of individuality. And it presents the Ethics as a companion to Spinoza’s major work of political philosophy, the Theologico-Political Treatise, each work helping to explore the problem of freedom. Affirming Spinoza’s centrality for both critics and defenders of modernity, the book will be of value to students of political theory, philosophy, and intellectual history.

Law’s Quandary

Law’s Quandary

Steven D. Smith

Harvard University Press
2007
nidottu
This lively book reassesses a century of jurisprudential thought from a fresh perspective, and points to a malaise that currently afflicts not only legal theory but law in general. Steven Smith argues that our legal vocabulary and methods of reasoning presuppose classical ontological commitments that were explicitly articulated by thinkers from Aquinas to Coke to Blackstone, and even by Joseph Story. But these commitments are out of sync with the world view that prevails today in academic and professional thinking. So our law-talk thus degenerates into "just words"--or a kind of nonsense.The diagnosis is similar to that offered by Holmes, the Legal Realists, and other critics over the past century, except that these critics assumed that the older ontological commitments were dead, or at least on their way to extinction; so their aim was to purge legal discourse of what they saw as an archaic and fading metaphysics. Smith's argument starts with essentially the same metaphysical predicament but moves in the opposite direction. Instead of avoiding or marginalizing the "ultimate questions," he argues that we need to face up to them and consider their implications for law.

No composer contributed more to film than Bernard Herrmann, who in over 40 scores enriched the work of such directors as Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock, Francois Truffaut, and Martin Scorsese. In this first major biography of the composer, Steven C. Smith explores the interrelationships between Herrmann's music and his turbulent personal life, using much previously unpublished information to illustrate Herrmann's often outrageous behavior, his working methods, and why his music has had such lasting impact. From his first film ("Citizen Kane") to his last ("Taxi Driver"), Herrmann was a master of evoking psychological nuance and dramatic tension through music, often using unheard-of instrumental combinations to suit the dramatic needs of a film. His scores are among the most distinguished ever written, ranging from the fantastic ("Fahrenheit 451", "The Day the Earth Stood Still") to the romantic ("Obsession", "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir") to the terrifying ("Psycho"). Film was not the only medium in which Herrmann made a powerful mark. His radio broadcasts included Orson Welles' "Mercury Theatre on the Air" and "The War of the Worlds". His concert music was commissioned and performed by the New York Philharmonic, and he was chief conductor of the CBS Symphony. Almost as celebrated as these achievements are the enduring legends of Herrmann's combativeness and volatility. Smith separates myth from fact and draws upon heretofore unpublished material to illuminate Herrmann's life and influence. Herrmann remains as complex as any character in the films he scored - a creative genius, an indefatigable musicologist, an explosive bully, a generous and compassionate man who desperately sought friendship and love. The films scored by Bernard Herrmann include "Citizen Kane", "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir", "Vertigo", "Psycho", "Fahrenheit 451", "Taxi Driver", "The Magnificent Ambersons", "The Man Who Knew Too Much", "North By Northwest", "The Birds", "The Snows of Kilimanjaro", "Cape Fear", "Marnie", "Torn Curtain", among others.

Francis Marion and the Snow's Island Community

Francis Marion and the Snow's Island Community

Steven D Smith

United Writers Press
2021
pokkari
Loyalist Colonel Robert Gray] described South Carolina as "a piece of patch work, the inhabitants of every settlement, when united in sentiment being in arms for the side they liked best and making continual inroads into one another's settlements." One of those pieces of patch work, the people living on and surrounding Snow's Island, South Carolina, were "united in sentiment" against the British crown. This community of partisans had joined the rebellion as early as 1775 and had stubbornly refused to surrender, even when Charleston fell in 1780. They had supplied food, forage, and blood to the rebellion, and under the leadership of General Francis Marion, had become an obstacle to British control of the southern colonies. This book is their story.Co-Recipient of the 2022 Harry M. Ward Book Prize presented by the American Revolution Round Table of Richmond.

WISDEN BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019 | WINNER OF THE CRICKET SOCIETY & MCC 2019 BOOK OF THE YEAR CRICKET WRITER'S CLUB (CWC) 2019 BOOK OF THE YEAR SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2019 TELEGRAPH CRICKET BOOK OF THE YEAR He was the top Test batsman in the world, with numbers bettered only by the great Don Bradman – then Australian cricket captain Steve Smith led the Australian team into a cheating scandal that stunned cricket. How did a team with such hard-edged history reach crisis point under Smith, and what happened on their tour of South Africa to cause such a failure of culture on the world stage? This is a full and frank narrative of Smith’s captaincy, David Warner's influence, the dramas that beset Australian cricket, and a blow-by-blow account from Ashes high to Cape Town low, from someone who was there for every ball and every statement. Geoff Lemon writes a dramatic story that exposes how the actions of a few young men shook the very foundations of the Australian cricket establishment.

This is the story of a young boy growing up in a home with an alcoholic dad, a physically abusive older brother, mental illness and child neglect...and surviving. From my earliest memories at 5 years old and on into my late teens and early twenties, all these were present in our family in which I was the youngest of the five children. But along with the saddness of growing up as I did, this is a story of hope, victory and the truth of the promises in God's word. You can win, you can have victory in this life and there is always hope, regardless of the giants in your path. I was the youngest of five in this family but the fact is that we were all victims at one level or another. This is not a story about assigning blame, holding a grudge or pointing fingers. No one in my family is to blame for anything they did or didn't do regardless of the role. We were all victims...all blameless in the end. The focus of this book is positive, about making it through, about hope where there may not have seemed to be any at the time. It's about God using a bad situation for good and encouraging others who may be now or have been in a similar situation. This is not a book about who did what because all is forgiven for me in my mind and heart. It's about the result and moving forward in life in a positive way where so many millions struggle with the ability to do just that. In August of 1981, God reached down his hand as I reached up and He pulled me from the self destructive dark path I was on and saved my life. This is My Story; Lost in a Family of Seven
