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

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

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 Privacy of the Self

The Privacy of the Self

The Privacy of the Self was the first collection of papers showing the development of the author's thinking over twenty five years of clinical work. He was nurtured in the tradition of Anna Freud John Rickman and D. W. Winnicott but his contribution to psychoanalytic literature was a distinctive and personal one. What emerges from this book is the natural and private crystallization of his experiences with his patients and teachers. As he says in his preface: Psychoanalysis is an extremely private discipline of sensibility and skill. The practice of psychoanalysis multiplies this privacy into a specialized relationship between two persons who through the very nature of their exclusivity with each other change each other. The first thing I wish to say about my work reported in these papers is that my patients have helped me become and personalize my potential of thought affectivity and effort into a way of life that I find deeply satisfying.

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.
