Nature and History in American Political Development: A

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ceaser, James W. / Rakove, Jack / Rosenblum, Nancy L., PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, In this inaugural volume of the Alexis de ong>Toong>cqueville ong>Lecturesong>, political scientist James Ceaser traces the way certain ideas, including nature, hisong>toong>ry, and religion--which he calls foundational ideas--have been undersong>toong>od and used by statesmen and public intellectuals over the course of American hisong>toong>ry, from the Puritans ong>toong> the current day. Ceaser treats these ideas not as pure concepts of philosophy or theology, but rather as elements of political discourse that provide the ground or ultimate appeal for other political ideas, such as liberty or equality. At times, they have critically influenced the course of American political development, offering various opportunities and constraints for political leaders. Ceaser traces the hisong>toong>ries of these ideas and their relation ong>toong> other ideas, ong>toong> practices, and ong>toong> the fortunes of successive partisan regimes. Three critical commentaong>toong>rs--hisong>toong>rian Jack Rakove and political theorists Nancy Rosenblum and Rogers Smith--challenge Ceaser's arguments in several ways. They suggest that other ideas may be considered foundational, and they prod him ong>toong> clarify further how foundational ideas work politically. Ceaser responds with vigor, and the result is a spirited debate about large and enduring questions in American politics.
