0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract Because liberal arts colleges are " in certain respects more diverse than any other type of higher education institution, " and because their nature, history, generally shared characteristics, even their very number, are so often a matter of contention, I have learned over the years the wisdom, when attempting to say something about them, of begining with a preliminary exercise in intellectual throat-clearing.

Politics & eternity / Oakley, Francis   Journal Article
Oakley, Francis Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract The Leviathan is the greatest. Perhaps the sole. Masterpiece of political philosophy written in the English language. And the history of our civilization can provide only a few works of similar scope and achievement to set beside it. Consequently, it must be judged by none but the highest standards and must be considered only in the widest context. The masterpiece supplies a standard and a context for the second-rate. which indeed is but a gloss: but the context of the masterpiece itself. the setting in which its meaning is revealed. can in the nature of things be nothing narrower than the history of political philosophy.
