An excellent sampling of current thinking in the theory and practice of constitutionalism. Each essay was written specifically for this volume by well-known legal and political philosophers. . . . All in all, a first-rate and provocative example of contemporary philosophical concerns. Choice
In our constitutional democracy, the dissent and conflict that are the inevitable consequence of free political dialogue point to the importance of reexamining the philosophical premises on which our conceptions of society and government are based. This volume of original essays reviews the foundations of constitutionalism in classical liberal thought and looks at contemporary philosophical perspectives on a wide range of constitutional issues. Written by a distinguished group of philosophers and constitutional scholars, it provides a deeper understanding of the U.S. Constitution as a political instrument and examines the idea of constitutionalism as it functions in our modern world.

Excerpt from Political Realism and the Crisis of World Politics: An American Approach to Foreign PolicyForeign policy. If this dialogue is maintained free of the un natural restraints or untimely restrictions that self-acknowl edged sources of authority or conformity seek to impose on every generation, the future of the Republic will be brighter and more hopeful. Each successive generation of observers and interpreters carries the heavy burden of appraising and, if necessary, correcting or enlarging the reach and grasp of those who have gone before. I see the contribution of the political realists in this light. I am confident that each of them would point to the unfinished tasks of broadening and deep ening the realist tradition. In the end, I conceive my study as a primer or introduction to the main currents of a single challenging approach to the perplexing issues of contemporary foreign policy. I could wish that younger scholars in par ticular might draw from the broad outlines and unsolved problems of this approach an agenda for vigorous reflection and research. My own hope and intent for the future would be to find a place among those who, in William James's well chosen phrase stubbornly attempt to think clearly, wherever the evidence may lead them. In this respect, political realism is an invitation to seek the truth and not a termination of free inquiry. It provides a framework and not a doctrine, a set of hypotheses rather than a list of answers. The pages that follow have been written in this spirit and I would profoundly hope might be read this way, however emphatic or outspoken I have been at certain points in explanation or analysis.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
