The Politics of Utopia By:Barbara Goodwin,Keith Taylor Published on 2009 by Peter Lang This book provides both an introduction to utopianism and a general perspective on radical political thought. Vigorously disputing the widespread conviction that utopianism is a fantasy with no relevance to modern political life and thought, the authors argue that it is a concept whose special virtue lies in its capacity to transcend the limitations of present circumstances, to inspire alternative thinking and to open up new directions for political action. This book develops an approach which relates social causes to political theory and practice. The first part discusses utopianism as a form of political theory with unique characteristics and the ability to transcend the present. The second part considers utopianism as an expression of fundamental social impulses and as an ingredient of modern political movements. The third part offers a defence of utopianism as both theory and practice, and argues...

Changing Social Science By:Daniel R. Sabia,Jerald Wallulis Published on 1983 by SUNY Press Changing Social Science is both a description of and prescription for the current unease in the social sciences. It brings together articles by philosophers, sociologists, and political scientists who advocate changing the way social science is conceived and practiced. Focusing on the thought of past and present critics and proponents of critical inquiry--especially on the critical theory of Jürgen Habermas and on the disciplines of political science and sociology--collaborators on this volume support a critical form of social and political inquiry, outline its main characteristics, and examine its foundations, options, and unresolved problems. The book is divided into section on reflexivity, methodology and explanation, and criticism and advocacy. From an introductory overview of the collection of articles and an account of the central issues in critical inquiry, discussions ensue on the methodo...

Spygate By:Dan Bongino,D.C. McAllister Published on 2018-10-09 by Post Hill Press “An explosive account of the biggest scandal in American history, and the political players that tried to pull it off.”—Sean Hannity The comprehensive story of how the Obama administration, Hillary Clinton campaign, and foreign entities tried to sabotage the Trump campaign in the 2016 presidential election. Everyone has an opinion about whether or not Donald Trump colluded with the Russians to defeat Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Spygate bypasses opinion and brings facts together to expose the greatest political scandal in American history. Former Secret Service agent and NYPD police officer Dan Bongino joins forces with journalist D.C. McAllister to clear away fake news and show you how Trump’s political opponents, both foreign and domestic, tried to sabotage his campaign and delegitimize his...

Political, Social, and Economic Objectives as Treated in Recent Social Studies Textbooks By:George Dewey Lundberg Published on 2018-10-12 by Forgotten Books Excerpt from Political, Social, and Economic Objectives as Treated in Recent Social Studies Textbooks: A Quantitative Analysis Education's goal for the youth of the country is able, participating citizenship, and wholesome living. To further this aim, it is necessary that courses of study, teaching methods, and particularly subject matter reflect the predominating spirit of the current era. No specifically authoritative list of social science aims, however, exists to guide either the writing or the selection of textbooks, and questions frequently arise as to what should be regarded as vital concepts for the potential citizen to make his own, and as to the degree to which textbooks provide these concepts. This thesis accordingly preposes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic boo...
