In addition, the work makes a major contribution to scholarship on European revolutionary and press history. In Weiterführung des Bandes I/7 enthält auch dieser Band die publizistischen Arbeiten, die von Marx und Engels in der "Neuen Rheinischen Zeitung" veröffentlicht wurden. Durch neue Autorschaftsanalysen konnte erstmals ein sicherer Textkorpus hergestellt werden.

What should the servant to prince in the 17th century read? This question was of interest to scholars as well as princely servant themselves, such as the privy counsellor and envoy Friedrich Rudolf von Canitz (1654–1699). The aim of this study is to disclose the intellectual currents contained in his library. This is accomplished not only through traditional library analysis, but also, for the first time, through canon research. Wie die politische Lektüre des angehenden oder schon aktiven Fürstendieners auszusehen hat, beschäftigte im 17. Jahrhundert nicht nur Gelehrte, sondern auch aktive Fürstendiener, wie den Geheimen Rat und Gesandten Friedrich Rudolf von Canitz. Seine über 2000 Werke umfassende Bibliothek setzt sich zur Hälfte aus politisch-historischen Themen zusammen. Ziel dieser Studie ist es, die in der Bibliothek verborgenen ideellen Strömungen zu decodieren. Dies geschieht nicht durch eine klassische Bibliotheksanalyse, sondern erstmals mithilfe der Kanonforschung: Welche Deutungszusammenhänge bestehen zwischen einzelnen Titeln? Wie sind spezifische Quantitäten zu bewerten? Nur der Abgleich mit zeitgenössischen Lektürekanones kann diese Fragen beantworten. Die Gegenüberstellung der Bibliothek von Canitz mit vier politischen Leseanweisungen wird aufzeigen, welche Ideen und Konzepte im Bestand in welchem Ausmaß repräsentiert und miteinander kombiniert sind.

A thorough examination of the role which David Hume's writings played upon the founders of the United States. This book explores the reception of David Hume's political thought in eighteenth-century America. It presents a challenge to standard interpretations that assume Hume's thought had little influence in early America. Eighteenth-century Americans are often supposed to have ignored Hume's philosophical writings and to have rejected entirely Hume's 'Tory' 'History of England'. James Madison, if he used Hume's ideas in 'Federalist' No. 10, it is commonly argued, thought best to do so silently-open allegiance to Hume was a liability. Despite renewed debate about the impact of Hume's political ideas in America, existing scholarship is often narrow and highly speculative. Were Hume's works available in eighteenth-century America? If so, which works? Where? When? Who read Hume? To what avail? To answer questions of that sort, this books draws upon a wide assortment of evidence. Early American book catalogues, periodical publications, and the writings of lesser-light thinkers are used to describe Hume's impact on the social history of ideas, an essential context for understanding Hume's influence on many of the classic texts of early American political thought. Hume's 'Essays and Treatises on Several Subjects', was readily available, earlier, and more widely, than scholars have supposed. The 'History of England' was read most frequently of all, however, and often in distinctive ways. Hume's 'History', which presented the British constitution as a patch-work product of chance historical developments, informed the origins of the American Revolution and Hume's subsequent reception through the late eighteenth century. The 326 subscribers to the first American edition of Hume's 'History' (published in Philadelphia in 1795/96) are more representative of the 'History's' friendly reception in enlightened America than are its few critics. Thomas Jefferson's latter-day rejection of Hume's political thought foreshadowed Hume's falling reputation in nineteenth-century America.MARK G. SPENCER is associate professor of history at Brock University where he holds a Chancellor's Chair for Research Excellence. His books include Hume's Reception in Early America (2002), Utilitarians and Their Critics in America, 1789-1914 (2005), and Ulster Presbyterians in the Atlantic World (2006).

A pathbreaking exploration of the fate of utopia in our troubled times, this book shows how the historically intertwined endeavors of utopia and critique might be leveraged in response to humanity's looming existential challenges. Utopia in the Age of Survival makes the case that critical social theory needs to reinstate utopia as a speculative myth. At the same time the left must reassume utopia as an action-guiding hypothesis—that is, as something still possible. S. D. Chrostowska looks to the vibrant, visionary mid-century resurgence of embodied utopian longings and projections in Surrealism, the Situationist International, and critical theorists writing in their wake, reconstructing utopia's link to survival through to the earliest, most radical phase of the French environmental movement. Survival emerges as the organizing concept for a variety of democratic political forms that center the corporeality of desire in social movements contesting the expanding management of life by state institutions across the globe. Vigilant and timely, balancing fine-tuned analysis with broad historical overview to map the utopian impulse across contemporary cultural and political life, Chrostowska issues an urgent report on the vitality of utopia.

When European powers colonised the globe, they spread not only political power but also ideas. Yet those within colonised societies did not receive those ideas passively. They instead sought to transform or repurpose them, often in surprising or ambiguous ways. This volume illustrates a variety of examples worthy of further study.

"A new account of the relevance of Hegel's ideas for today's world, countering the postwar anti-Hegel "insurgency"G.W.F. Hegel was widely seen as the greatest philosopher of his age. Ever since, his work has shaped debates about issues as varied as religion, aesthetics and metaphysics. His most lasting contribution was his vision of history and politics. In Hegel's World Revolutions, Richard Bourke returns to Hegel's original arguments, clarifying their true import and illuminating their relevance to contemporary society. Bourke shows that central to Hegel's thought was his anatomy of the modern world. On the one hand he claimed that modernity was a deliverance from subjection, but on the other he saw it as having unleashed the spirit of critical reflection. Bourke explores this predicament in terms of a series of world revolutions that Hegel believed had ushered in the rise of civil society and the emergence of the constitutional state.Bourke interprets Hegel's thought, with particular reference to his philosophy of history, placing it in the context of his own time. He then recounts the reception of Hegel's political ideas, largely over the course of the twentieth century. Countering the postwar revolt against Hegel, Bourke argues that his disparagement by major philosophers has impoverished our approach to history and politics alike. Challenging the condescension of leading thinkers-from Heidegger and Popper to Levi-Strauss and Foucault-the book revises prevailing views of the relationship between historical ideas and present circumstances"-- "This book offers the first historical treatment of Hegel's political ideas since the 1970s. It completely revises our understanding of his response to the French Revolution, the most dramatic and significant event of his age. A fresh account of his take on the Revolution itself provides a new perspective on his thought as a whole. It also illuminates Hegel's relevance to modern politics. Dominant strands of post-War thought have taken the form of a repudiation of Hegel. This reaction has largely been based on dubious arguments and poor scholarship. The alternative analysis offered here contextualizes attempts to disparage Hegel as pursued by strands of critical theory associated with postmodernism. In the process, the book challenges recent onslaughts against so-called "Western" rationalism. It takes issue with the ambition to relativize all values and to represent knowledge as an effect of power"--
