The Vital Roots of European Enlightenment: Ibn Tufayl's

The Vital Roots of European Enlightenment is a collection of essays dealing with the influence of Ibn Tufayl,a 12th-century Arab philosopher from Spain,on major European thinkers. Had Edward Said known about the impact of Hayy Ibn Yaqzan on Europe throughout the 17th and 18th centuries,he might have reached different conclusions in his book Orientalism.

Utopia and Reform in the Enlightenment

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Venturi, Franco, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, In this detailed study of the republican tradition in the development of the Enlightenment, the central problem of utopia and reform is crystallized in a discussion of the right to punish. Describing the political situation in Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the author shows how the old republics in Italy, Poland and Holland stagnated and were unable to survive in the age of absolutism. The Philosophes discussed the ideal of republicanism against this background. They were particularly influenced by the political and religious radicalism of John Toland, which had survived the English Restoration and was then reaching Europe. Professor Venturi traces the debate on the penal laws and the attempt to relate utopian ideas of society to the practical problem of dealing with man in society, which culminated in the assertion by many Philosophes that an unjust social system necessitated harsh penal laws, thereby rejecting the possibility of reform.

The Paradox of Revolution: Labor, the State, and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Middlebrook, Kevin J. / Middlebrook, Kevinj, PUBLISHER: Johns Hopkins University Press, This important interdisciplinary work makes original contributions to the study of the state-society relations in Latin America and to the comparative analysis of labor's role in regime change. Middlebrook's theoretical framework identifies the principal dimensions of elite control over mass participation in postrevolutionary authoritarian regimes and highlights the most important aspects of Mexican authoritarianism. By demonstrating organized labor's central importance in the formation and evolution of Mexico's distinctive authoritarian regime, Middlebrook also lays the basis for a major reinterpretation of key features of twentieth-century Mexican politics. "Any scholar interested in Latin American social and political questions over the last one hundred years will sooner or later read this book. Mexicanists worth their salt will read it as soon as they can get it. The scholarship is outstandingly sound. It is rigorous in conceptualization and analysis, and in the historical parts as good as the best histories of Mexican labor and politics." -- John Womack Jr., Harvard University Buy Now

Babylon: Mesopotamia and the Birth of Civilization Paperback by Paul Kriwaczek (Author)

CAN DELIVER IF LOCAL ok condition copy of Babylon: Mesopotamia and the Birth of Civilization Paperback by Paul Kriwaczek (Author) "In Babylon, Paul Kriwaczek tells the story of ancient Mesopotamia from the earliest settlements around BC, to the eclipse of Babylon by the Persians in the sixth century BC. He chronicles the rise and fall of dynastic power during this period; he examines its numerous material, social and cultural innovations and inventions: The wheel, civil, engineering, building bricks, the centralized state, the division of labour, organised religion, sculpture, education, mathematics, law and monumental building. At the heart of Kriwaczek's magisterial account, though, is the glory of Babylon - 'gateway to the gods' - which rose to glorious prominence under the Amorite king Hammurabi, who unified Babylonia between and BC. While Babylonian power would rise and fall over the ensuing centuries, it retained its importance as a cultural, religious and political centre until its fall to Cyrus the Great of Persia in 539 BC."
