1 Politics After Babel: Reinhold Niebuhr, Michael Oakeshott, And
Politics after Babel: Reinhold Niebuhr, Michael Oakeshott, and the Theological Defense of Modernity Matthew Sitman University of Virginia Therefore is the name of the place called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of the earth… Genesis 11: 9 What has anyone achieved in words when he speaks about you? Yet woe to those who are silent about you because, though loquacious with verbosity, they have nothing to say. -- Augustine, Confessions I. Introduction: The Prophet and the Philosopher Merely juxtaposing basic descriptions of Reinhold Niebuhr and Michael Oakeshott – their biographies, temperaments, and writings – calls attention to their incongruities. The former was from the American Midwest, the son of German immigrants, a brooding pastor and theologian, a man of the left and prominent public figure; the latter was British, a cheerful romantic, an idiosyncratic conservative, and enough of a quiet academic that, during his funeral, the local priest officiating at the service forgot his name. 1 Niebuhr wrote with the urgency of the prophet, and even his most sustained and nuanced work retains a sense of impending disaster. When he appeared on the cover of Time magazine in 1948, his portrait was set against a background of dark, swirling clouds, with a small, white cross barely visible over his left 1 For a useful, if somewhat stilted, biography of Niebuhr, see Richard Wightman Fox’s Reinhold Niebuhr: A Biography (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 1996).

Bush Administration’s (2001 – 2009) efforts to promote democracy in the Arab world, following military occupation in Iraq, and through ‘democracy support’ or ‘democracy assistance’ in Lebanon. While reviewing well rehearsed arguments that emphasise the inappropriateness of the methods employed to promote Western liberal democracy in Middle East countries and the difficulties in the way of democracy being fostered by foreign powers, it focuses on two factors that also contributed to derailing the U.S.’s plans to introduce ‘Western style’ liberal democracy to Iraq and Lebanon. -

Conversations with Bill Kristol
Conversations with Bill Kristol Guest: Peter Berkowitz, Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution Taped, March 2, 2018 Table of Contents I: Liberal Democracy and its Critics 0:15 – 39:35 II: Reclaiming the Liberal Tradition 39:35 – 1:04:48 I: Liberal Democracy and its Critics (0:15 – 39:35) KRISTOL: Hi, I’m Bill Kristol, welcome back to CONVERSATIONS. I am joined today by my friend Peter Berkowitz, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, author of many books, articles, fine teacher, formerly at Harvard University – I have to mention that out of pride there – and the author, maybe for the point of this conversation, the one book I guess I might mention is Virtue and the Making of Modern Liberalism, since we are going to talk about liberalism. Liberalism in the broad sense, though: liberal democracy; the liberal tradition, which, we’ll get to this, whether it includes some of modern conservatism, etc. So, liberalism is under assault in a way that maybe we wouldn’t have expected ten, fifteen years ago. Sort of an intellectual, I would say, assault. It seems that way to me. Is that your sense, too? BERKOWITZ: Yes, and it’s a kind of renewed assault, right? Because what we think of as liberalism – and, of course, here I guess we should pause, you kind of gestured at it in the introduction – is what everybody thinks of as “Liberalism” in ordinary political discourse, right? We think of the left wing of the Democratic Party; we think of using government to promote equality, to regulate, to redistribute. -
In Memoriam WILSON CAREY Mcwilliams (1933-2005)
In Memoriam WILSON CAREY McWILLIAMS https://www.cambridge.org/core/terms (1933-2005) Wilson Carey McWilliams, Professor of Political Science at Rutgers University and editorial board member of this journal, died on March 29, 2005. Though his interests and writing spanned the field of political science, McWilliams had a particular ear for the music of American political life, and it was to articulating the notes of that song that he dedicated most of his energy. His first major work, The Idea of Fraternity in America (1973), for which he was awarded the National Historical Society Prize, sounded the themes that would become his refrain. In American political history, modern liberal theory, with its basic , subject to the Cambridge Core terms of use, available at assumptions of human individualism, has become ever more ascendant. Modern liberalism teaches that fraternity is an as- yet unachieved end of politics, one that can be realized with the dissolution of all particular ties among particular people in communities. This teaching undermines the ancient theory 01 Oct 2021 at 19:08:32 that it is only through those particular bonds and relations that , on an individual can truly be formed, and that even well-formed individuals can never transcend their firm locations in particular settings. That ancient theory has had a voice in an "alternative" American tradition, emanating particularly from those ethnic and 170.106.202.226 religious communities that remained relatively cohesive in the years following immigration. But that voice has begun to falter. The assault on fraternity by modern philosophy—in the name . IP address: of fraternity, ironically enough—actually has threatened the possibility of individual cultivation by promising the realization of an unachievable state that lingers perpetually outside the grasp of embodied and embedded humans. -
GROUP a Roshni B Watching Naomi Wolf Interview Harvey Mansfield, on C-SPAN's Show After Words, Was Painful. Their Back And
1 GROUP A Roshni B Watching Naomi Wolf interview Harvey Mansfield, on C-SPAN’s show After Words, was painful. Their back and forth battle was reminiscent of witnessing a bloody jousting match. The sound of the lance’s wood splitting matches that of Mansfield’s words when he describes what he believes the role of women in society should be. Mansfield describes the difference between masculinity and manliness as physical appearance versus a general attitude. He explains that men are right to expect their wives to be lying in wait with a martini for them after a long day, and for women to expect nothing in return. Wolf is quick to question why reciprocity should not be expected. Our current generation is full of powerful women that, not only work full-time, but also take care of the household and community. Mansfield argues that men do not feel needed anymore; the importance of their role in society has been reduced. It is not wrong to question, why men have not taken more initiative to have a greater significance in the household. Wolf is able to reveal that Mansfield is a contradiction of himself throughout the interview. His interpretation of a “manly” man is one that does not submit to women; however, he repeatedly submits to Wolf’s criticisms of the book. The strides women have made in the realm of equality are stacking-up. Mansfield may not approve, but society needs women to function properly. Men have allowed themselves to crumble from a Superman- like figure, to a couch-potato that chooses to live off unemployment. -

Oday the Very Word Manliness Seems Quaint and Obsolete. We Are in The

We are in the process of making the English language gender-neutral, and manliness, the quality of one gender, or rather, of one sex, to describe the essence of the enemy we are attacking, the evil we are t._col<lUl\.duu~. Recencly I had a call from the alumni magazine at the university I work, asking me to comment on a former professor of mine now honored. Responding too quickly, I said: "What impressed all of us him was his manliness." There was silence at the other end of the line, the female voice said: "Could you think of another word?"
