    THE REBIRTH OF AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONALISM THE POLITICAL THOUGHT OF MARTIN DIAMOND AND HERBERt Storing Monday, September 25, 2017 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Prospect House, Princeton University James Madison Program Constitution Day Event Cosponsored by the Program in American Studies Funded by the Bouton Law Lecture Fund This conference is dedicated to the memory of Martin Diamond and Herbert J. Storing, two great thinkers and teachers, on the 40th anniversary of their deaths. n the summer of 1977, within weeks of one another, two preeminent teachers and scholars of the American founding and American constitutional democracy died suddenly and unexpectedly. On the 40th anniversary of their deaths, the IJames Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions, in collaboration with the Program in American Studies and the Bouton Law Lecture Fund at Princeton University, is honored to offer a conference examining anew the nature, influence, and significance of their work—The Rebirth of American Constitutionalism: The Political Thought of Martin Diamond and Herbert Storing. Martin Diamond and Herbert Storing were early students at the University of Chicago of the great teacher and scholar of political philosophy, Leo Strauss. While most of Strauss’s students followed him in concentrating on the long tradition of political philosophy begun by Plato and Aristotle, a few of Strauss’s students chose to learn all that they could from him, gaining, as Storing wrote, the “context of [their] intellectual concern,” while choosing to focus their own scholarship on the constitutional thought, institutions, and politics of the American regime. Diamond and Storing stand out in this regard.

How the Influence of Religion Makes the Foreign Policy of the Bush Administration Revolutionary, and How This Has Affected Our Relations with European Allies Abstract It is widely recognized that the rhetoric and actions of the Bush administration are strongly marked by religious terminology and principles, particularly those o evangelical Christianity. The prominence and new political sophistication of religious groups imply that its current character is a departure from the past. Yet while religious conservatives are seen as a significant force in domestic and electoral politics, their influence in the arena of foreign policy is not generally a topic of serious debate. The omission is significant; not only do domestic politics often influence the direction of foreign policy, but in the case of the religious wing of the Republican Party, there have recently been a considerable number of direct statements and positions taken with regard to international issues.

  • The Myth of the Death of Political Philosophy
    As the Planet Lost Its Orbit: The Myth of the Death of Political Philosophy by Steven Ray Shadbolt Orr A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Political Science Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2020 Steven Ray Shadbolt Orr ii Abstract The death of political philosophy is a label to a variety of debates in the mid-twentieth century. Those debates, however, only have the appearance of a singular, cohesive argument about the state of the art. Upon closer investigation, despite the fact that its interlocutors used similar language in their proclamations and protestations, its participants were not referring to the same discipline — let alone the same ‘death’ thereof. The 1971 publication of John Rawls’ A Theory of Justice is widely credited as having renewed political philosophy, either reversing a steady decline in the tradition that had begun as far back as Machiavelli or altogether reviving a project that seemed untenable in post-war anglophone scholarship. Yet what was revived by Rawls’ defense of modern liberalism is significantly different than the discipline that came before, solidifying an academic conception of political philosophy that was suitable for institutionalization in liberal democracies. While the importance of A Theory of Justice in Western political thought is undeniable, it does not automatically follow that it resolved all of the many deaths of political philosophy that had been articulated over the preceding decades. This dissertation is primarily a contribution to the disciplinary history of political philosophy as a sub-field of anglophone political science.

The deeply influential historical account that undergirds this view has provided reasons for believing that the two ideals are not only historical rivals, but conceptually incompatible—and that reconciliation between the two is always synthetic and a matter of compromise. I challenge this account by arguing that both of these traditions derive from Cicero and that they can be reconciled on a Ciceronian foundation. I argue that Cicero— not Machiavelli—ought to be considered the central figure in the republican tradition and classical source for liberalism as well.

  • The Third Way of Neoconservatism: an Analysis of the Political
    THE THIRD WAY OF NEOCONSERVATISM: AN ANALYSIS OF THE POLITICAL, STRATEGIC, MORAL, PHILOSOPHICAL AND EPISTEMOLOGICAL BASIS TO NEOCONSERVATISM A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Daniel Dominique Léger ________________________________ Michael Zuckert, Director Department of Political Science Notre Dame, Indiana April 2009 THE THIRD WAY OF NEOCONSERVATISM: AN ANALYSIS OF THE POLITICAL, STRATEGIC, MORAL, PHILOSOPHICAL AND EPISTEMOLOGICAL BASIS TO NEOCONSERVATISM Abstract By Daniel Dominique Léger My thesis examines the public policy debates of the late 1960s to today involving arms control, détente and the War in Iraq in an effort to explain the essential strategic, political, and moral ingredients of a neoconservative foreign policy. In examining these policy debates, the objective of my thesis is not that of an historian but rather that of a political philosopher. I argue that there are two distinct lines of thought running through neoconservatism, the one strategic and the other political and moral. The two lines are married by Irving Kristol, Norman Podhoretz and others into a unified approach to foreign policy. Taken together with a philosophical and epistemological foundation at variance with the orthodoxy of its academic counterparts, neoconservatism is rightly understood to belong alongside modern realism, neorealism and neoliberalism as a distinct tradition in the study of international relations. On matters ranging from the importance of morality in foreign policy to the relevance of common sense as the standard for judging the effectiveness of public policy, the gulf between neoconservatism and the more mainstream traditions is very wide.
