The American Republic: Its Constitution, Tendencies, and Destiny

First published in 1866, this book is a surprisingly thoughtful and theoretical approach to politics from an historical American intellectual. Brownson discusses America in the context of (1) what a “nation” is, (2) what a “constitution” is, both written and unwritten, (3) the relationship between the individual and the nation, (4) the relationship between the states and the federal government, and (5) the place of God in thinking about politics.

<p>Like a Roaring Lion (first published in 1854 as The Spirit-Rapper: An Autobiography) is an intellectual tour de force and a spiritual odyssey through the religious kaleidoscope of nineteenth-century America. Orestes Brownson witnessed firsthand the obsession of his age with spiritualism and the occult, and in Like a Roaring Lion he undertakes the daunting task of illustrating its temptations and dangers. Today, no less than in the 1850s, does the spirit of the age and the lord of this world still whisper that we humans can be as gods. In his nonfiction works, Brownson explored the philosophical underpinnings of that characteristic position of modernity; in Like a Roaring Lion, he uses a fictional account drawn from actual persons and events to bring to life the spiritual forces still striving to bend and break our world.</p>
