EBUPT200683.Pdf The New Politics of Materialism New materialism challenges the mechanistic models characteristic of early modern philosophy that regarded matter as largely passive and inert. Instead it gives weight to topics often overlooked in such accounts: agency, vitalism, complexity, contingency, and self-organization. This collection, which includes an international roster of contributors from philosophy, history, literature, and science, is the first to ask what is “new” about the new materialism and place it in interdisciplinary per- spective. Against current theories of new materialism it argues for a deeper engagement with materialism’s history, questions whether matter can be “lively,” and asks whether new materialism’s wish to revitalize politics and the political lives up to its promise.

Existing accounts of obligation cannot parry critiques from rival theories, nor refute philosophical anarchists’ formidable attack on obligation. To move discussion of obligation forward, this dissertation offers an alternative solution to what George Klosko has called the ‘voluntarist paradox’ of liberal-democratic political obligation. While liberal ideas about the individual require that any obligation to obey be assumed through a voluntary act, individuals do not voluntarily assume obligations frequently enough to support legitimacy claims. In response to this paradox, most scholars deploy non-voluntary justifications for a general obligation to obey, while philosophical anarchists deny that such an obligation exists at all. In contrast, I argue that overcoming the voluntarist paradox requires a radically different view of the aims and scope of political obligation.

  • Planting Parliaments in Eurasia, 1850–1950
    Planting Parliaments in Eurasia, 1850–1950 Parliaments are often seen as Western European and North American institutions and their establishment in other parts of the world as a derivative and mostly defec- tive process. This book challenges such Eurocentric visions by retracing the evo- lution of modern institutions of collective decision-making in Eurasia. Breaching the divide between different area studies, the book provides nine case studies cov- ering the area between the eastern edge of Asia and Eastern Europe, including the former Russian, Ottoman, Qing, and Japanese Empires as well as their succes- sor states. In particular, it explores the appeals to concepts of parliamentarism, deliberative decision-making, and constitutionalism; historical practices related to parliamentarism; and political mythologies across Eurasia. It focuses on the historical and “reestablished” institutions of decision-making, which consciously hark back to indigenous traditions and adapt them to the changing circumstances in imperial and postimperial contexts. Thereby, the book explains how represent- ative institutions were needed for the establishment of modernized empires or postimperial states but at the same time offered a connection to the past.

Litwin Master of Arts George Mason University, 2010 Bachelor of Arts Yeshiva University, 2006 Director: Char R. Miller, Professor Department of Political Science Fall Semester 2014 George Mason University Fairfax, VA Copyright © 2014 by Oren J. Litwin. All rights reserved. ii DEDICATION This work is dedicated to my wife Diane, to my parents, and to the memory of Dr. Frances Harbour, who encouraged me to pursue this topic and gave critical support and advice up to the end. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This work would have been far inferior (if it would have existed at all) without the input of many different people over several years. Dr. Frances Harbour was my original dissertation committee chair; it was in her Ethics in IR class that the nucleus of this argument first took shape, and she strongly encouraged me to turn it into my dissertation and was a great support during the early "flailing around" phase of theory development. Dr. Char Miller agreed to step in as chair when Dr. Harbour passed away, and he and my other committee members have supported me despite imperfect circumstances and the difficulties of working remotely. Dr. Eric McGlinchey and Dr. Jo-Marie Burt in particular guided my engagement with the Comparative Politics subfield, the main concepts of which mark this dissertation in fundamental ways; I owe them both a great intellectual debt.

To this extent it is best understood as a kind of ethical naturalism according to which the lives of human beings (ought to) refl ect or conform to the order of nature. Political relations and institutions, by extension, are described and/or justifi ed in relation to natural laws. For Aristotle, human beings are social creatures by nature, thus life in the polis is natural for human beings. Certain Stoics, while not necessarily disagreeing with the idea that human beings are social by nature, nonetheless deny that the polis (or at least certain of its key features, such as private property) is natural in the strict sense. In both cases, the concept of the individual person is at best secondary to the concept of the community, which is in turn secondary to the archic concept of natural order. Because human beings are essentially social, and because this essential sociability helps to defi ne the place of human beings within the broader cosmological order, sociopolitical relations within communities and among individual human beings are justifi ed to the extent that they are deemed “natural.” Political naturalism of this sort is better understood as a species of a wider genre which might be called “political holism.” This “holism,” as I understand it, rests on two crucial theses.

  • A Topical Bibliography of Scholarship on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics
    JOURNAL OF PHILOSOPHICAL RESEARCH VOLUME 30, 2005 A TOPICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF SCHOLARSHIP ON ARISTOTLE’S NICOMACHEAN ETHICS: 1880 TO 2004 THORNTON C. LOCKWOOD, JR. Sacred Heart University INTRODUCTION S cholarship on Aristotle’s NICOMACHEAN ETHICS (hereafter “the Eth- ics”) fl ourishes in an almost unprecedented fashion. In the last ten years, universities in North America have produced on average over ten doctoral dissertations a year that discuss the practical philosophy that Aristotle espouses in his Nicomachean Ethics, Eudemian Ethics, and Politics. Since the beginning of the millennium there have been three new translations of the entire Ethics into English alone, several more that translate parts of the work into English and other modern languages, and half a dozen collections of new articles discussing Aristotle’s Ethics. Such an outpouring of scholarship has produced an almost unmanageable wave of books, articles, and reviews. Through my topical bibliography, I seek to organize this wealth of scholarly writing so as to make it manageable both to scholars working across the disciplines of philosophy, classics, history, and politics, and to scholars pursuing theses on specifi c topics within the Ethics. The bibliography takes as its model and is much indebted to that compiled by Barnes, Schofi eld, and Sorabji in their Articles on Aristotle, Volume 2: Ethics and Politics (1977), which was further updated and incorporated into the complete bibliography to all of Aristotle’s writings in Barnes’s Cambridge Companion to Aristotle (1995). Although I have taken guidance from their model, my bibliog- raphy differs in one main respect. Whereas Barnes et al.

The word “globalisation” has been accepted into Japanese (gurōbarizēshon), but deliberations about its meaning and effect continue unabated in the spheres of business and academia. In the new information age, time and space have contracted in a manner previously unimaginable; while we receive many benefits as a result, we do live (and must live) in a society where the unknown lurks around the corner.

However, as James Buchanan (1991) noted, it did end a vision of socioeconomic political reality based on collectivist-socialist ideas.
