Poetry

Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Louis Simpson’s newest volume of poetry, "Searching for the Ox," heralds a literary event of the highest order. The poems here all have a strong narrative structure, and at the same time they are beautifully lyrical, evocative of times, places and moods as strikingly different as the 1930s in tropical Kingston harbor and windy, wintry afternoons on postwar Riverside Drive. Like the masters of Zen, Simpson celebrates the everyday things that give the world color, shape, form and reason; he conveys the essence of an experience through his observation of small details. "Searching for the Ox" is divided into four parts. As Simpson observes in the Preface, "The first two parts describe the life of a young man coming from a background similar to my own. Poems in the third part are more meditative; they are about a way of life. And the concluding section is made up of poems rising out of my interests as a writer."

The Social Contract, Or Principles of Political Right (Du contrat social ou Principes du droit politique) (1762) by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, is the book in which Rousseau theorized about the best way in which to set up a political community in the face of the problems of commercial society which he had already identified in his Discourse on Inequality (1754). The Social Contract helped inspire political reforms or revolutions in Europe, especially in France. The Social Contract argued against the idea that monarchs were divinely empowered to legislate; as Rousseau asserts, only the people, who are sovereign, have that all-powerful right. The stated aim of the Social Contract is to determine whether there can be a legitimate political authority. In order to accomplish more and remove himself from the state of nature, man must enter into a Social Contract with others. In this social contract, everyone will be free because they all forfeit the same amount of rights and impose the same duties on all.
