Book SynopsisKarl Popper stellt in seinem Hauptwerk, der Logik der Forschung, die Erkenntnistheorie als Methodologie dar, die erklärt, warum unser Wissen fehlbar ist und warum wir nicht primär aus erfüllten, sondern aus gescheiterten Erwartungen lernen: Der Erkenntnisfortschritt resultiert aus Versuch und Irrtum. Die bedeutendsten Resultate des Buches sind das Falsifizierbarkeitskriterium zur Abgrenzung wissenschaftlicher Sätze und Poppers Vorschlag zur Lösung des Problems der empirischen Basis der Wissenschaft. Sein Abgrenzungskriterium löste das neopositivistische Sinnkriterium ab, nach dem nicht verifizierbare Sätze sinnlos sind, und seine These, auch Beobachtungssätze seien, wegen der Transzendenz dessen, was sie darstellen, über das, was wahrgenommen wurde, fehlbare Hypothesen, beendete die Protokollsatzdebatte im Wiener Kreis. Mit der Verallgemeinerung der Idee der Prüfbarkeit zur Idee der Kritik entstand aus dem Neoempirismus der kritischen Rationalismus."[...] gehört Poppers Buch zu den wichtigsten gegenwärtigen Arbeiten auf dem Gebiet der Wissenschaftslogik. [...] Es wird Zustimmung und Widerspruch auslösen..."Rudolf Carnap in Erkenntnis, Bd. 5 (1935), S. 294"Mir gefällt das ganze modische 'positivistische' Kleben am Beobachtbaren nicht. Ich halte es für trivial, daß man auf atomistischem Gebiete nicht beliebig genau prognostizieren kann, und denke, daß Theorie nicht aus Beobachtungsresultaten fabriziert, sondern nur erfunden werden kann (wie Sie übrigens auch)."Albert Einstein, Brief vom 11.9.1935 an K.R.P., abgedruckt in: Popper, Logik der Forschung, 2. u. folgende Auflagen, S. 412 ff.

Oxford University Press Fighting for France
Book SynopsisFighting for France is a ground-breaking examination of violence in French politics in the interwar period. During these years, a range of groups at the political extremes employed physical aggression against their enemies and threatened to bring about the violent demise of the democratic regime. Until now, historians have denied and downplayed the frequency and seriousness of French political violence in favour of an interpretation that emphasises France''s weddedness to democracy. Fighting for France demonstrates that the democratic culture of the late Third Republic co-existed with a culture of violence in which the physical punishment of rivals and opponents was considered acceptable. Drawing on the narratives constructed around outbreaks of violence, the book reconstructs the lived experience of fighting and the sense that contemporaries made of conflict. It examines violence in a variety of settings, from the street to the factory floor. A range of actors come under investigationTrade Review...this is an important piece of research that will help historians gain a greater understanding not just of French political culture in this period but also of the relationship between violence and democratic political culture in Europe more broadly. * Karine Varley, H-Net *Millington contributes a nuanced exploration of the circumstances in which violence took place in France, and the political cultures that both nurtured and constrained its use. * Joan Tumblety, European History Quarterly *Fighting or France is sure to be of interest to specialists in French twentieth-century politics and political culture, as well as to those with an interest in the comparative study of democracies' responses to political extremism in the era of fascism. It could serve as a readable and engaging supplementary text for an undergraduate course on Europe in the era of the World Wars, and could also be used to provoke productive discussion about the similarities and differences between political violence in interwar Europe and in our own time. * Drew Flanagan, H-France *

The University of Chicago Press The Common Cause
Book SynopsisEuropeans and Americans tend to hold the opinion that democracy is a uniquely Western inheritance. In this book, the authors recover stories of an alternate version, describing a transnational history of democracy in the first half of the twentieth century through the lens of ethics in the broad sense of disciplined self-fashioning.Trade Review"Drawing on an unusual mix of archives, and moving fluidly between dynamic analysis and vivid historical narrative, this study is a major contribution to current debates on the relation of ethics to politics. An important and original book." (Amanda Anderson, Brown University)"

The University of Chicago Press Sins of the Fathers Germany Memory Method
Book SynopsisNational identity and political legitimacy always involve a delicate balance between remembering and forgetting. All nations have elements in their past that they would prefer to pass over the catalog of failures, injustices, and horrors committed in the name of nations, if fully acknowledged, could create significant problems for a country trying to move on and take action in the present. Yet denial and forgetting carry costs as well. Nowhere has this precarious balance been more potent, or important, than in the Federal Republic of Germany, where the devastation and atrocities of two world wars have weighed heavily in virtually every moment and aspect of political life. The Sins of the Fathers confronts that difficulty head-on, exploring the variety of ways that Germany's leaders since 1949 have attempted to meet this challenge, with a particular focus on how those approaches have changed over time. Jeffrey K. Olick asserts that other nations are looking to Germany as an example of h

The University of Chicago Press Beyond Ideology
Book SynopsisThe congressional agenda includes many issues about which liberals and conservatives generally agree. Even over these matters, though, Democratic and Republican senators tend to fight with each other.

It is a substantial contribution that sheds new light on complex relationships and offers engaging illustrations drawn from political interactions on legislation." - David W. Rohde, Duke University"

The University of Chicago Press Gandhi The Traditional Roots of Charisma
Book SynopsisThe Rudolphs' analysis reveals that Gandhi's charisma was deeply rooted in the aspects of Indian tradition that he interpreted for his time. They key to his political influence was his ability to realize in both his daily life and his public actions, cultural ideals that many Indians honored but could not enact themselvesideals such as the traditional Hindu belief that a person's capacity for self-control enhances his capacity to control his environment. Appealing to shared expectations and recognitions, Gandhi was able to revitalize tradition while simultaneously breaking with some of its entrenched values, practices, and interests. One result was a self-critical, ethical, and inclusive nationalist movement that eventually led to independence.

The University of Chicago Press Leave Me Alone and Ill Make You Rich
Book SynopsisTrade Review"For those unable to devote the time to reading The Bourgeois Virtues, Bourgeois Dignity, and Bourgeois Equality, McCloskey has teamed here with Carden to write a popular version. While the argument is the same—namely that respect for human liberty is what led to the Great Enrichment—this book is not a Reader’s Digest condensed version of the trilogy. Carden and McCloskey use this opportunity to make the ideas of the trilogy more contemporary. They do so in two ways. Current policy proposals, such as Senator Elizabeth Warren’s proposal for a 2 percent tax on the wealthy, are used where appropriate. Modern examples, from changes to the television set as owned by the TV Simpsons family to a long list of failed business ideas that wasted resources, such as the New Coke or Trump Airlines, are added to the mix alongside McCloskey's literary and historical examples. Even readers of McCloskey's three prior volumes will find much to enjoy in this updated reprise. Recommended." * Choice *“At a time when the mood—and reality—of the times is swinging toward state intervention in the economy—and rightly so, given the potentially Hobbesian world to which the combination of market power and pandemic have brought us—it’s all the more important to keep an open mind and take these arguments from economic liberty seriously. . . . The sweep of McCloskey’s historical knowledge is such that the book is just a good read (if you like the tone), and a fraction of the length of the [Bourgeois] trilogy!” -- Diane Coyle * The Enlightened Economist *"This thought-provoking work is recommended for economics faculty and students, and researchers in economics and history to ‘think differently’ about these respected disciplines.” * Library Journal *"For half a century Deirdre McCloskey has been a member of the starting lineup of economic history. The author of numerous books and hundreds of research papers and essays, her magnum opus is the monumental 'Bourgeois Trilogy' that appeared between 2006 and 2016 and laid out her view of economic history and much else in about 2,000 pages. The slim volume here, co-authored with Art Carden, summarizes her views of what she has termed the 'Great Enrichment' and makes it accessible to a wider public. In every way, this comparatively slim volume is vintage McCloskey: written in a rather informal conversational style, she states her views in her inimitable crystal-clear prose." * EH-Net *"Read this book and learn why you must know the truth, what truth you need to know, and why the freedom it brings has made almost everyone better off than their parents and grandparents." -- Vernon L. Smith, Chapman University and 2002 Nobel Laureate in Economics"If you are feeling down about the state of the world or pessimistic about its prospects then this is the book to cheer you up. McCloskey and Carden show how much off everyone is today compared to everyone who lived before, and how this is explained not by the usual suspects such as institutions, or capitalism or the profits of slavery and colonialism, or the exploitation of natural resources, but simply by the practice of liberty, letting people be and allowing them to do their thing (and, crucially, to innovate). They also show how fashionable pessimism about the future is wrong in all its modish variants—as it has been since 1798. This is a work for economists, historians, and anyone who wants to understand why the world has become so much better for human beings in the last two hundred and fifty years and is set to continue doing so." -- Stephen Davies, Institute of Economic Affairs“There is nobody writing today who mixes erudition and eloquence, or wit and wisdom as richly as McCloskey. Together with Carden, she has now found another virtue: brevity. This is the book I want all young people to read to understand how and why they are so much better off than any previous generation.” -- Matt Ridley, author of How Innovation Works and The Rational OptimistTable of ContentsPreface Part I Poverty Is on the Run 1 Liberalism Liberated 2 It’s the End of the World as They Knew It, and You Should Feel Pretty Good 3 Nostalgia and Pessimism Worsen Poverty 4 Under Liberalism the Formerly Poor Can Flourish Ethically and Spiritually 5 Consider the Possibility That Your Doubts Might Be Mistaken 6 Pessimism Has Been since 1800 a Rotten Predictor 7 Even about the Environment 8 In Fact, None of the Seven Old Pessimisms Makes a Lot of Sense 9 Nor Do the Three New Ones 10 So to Get Better, the World Had Better Keep Its Ethical Wits about It 11 And True Liberalism Celebrates a Life Beyond WealthPart II Enrichment Didn’t Come for the Reasons You Imagine 12 Liberal Ideas, Not European Horrors or Heroism, Explain the Great Enrichment 13 Liberalism Supported Innovism and the Profit Test 14 The Great Enrichment Did Not Come from Resources or Railways or Property Rights 15 Nor Thrift or “Capitalism” 16 Schooling and Science Were Not the Fairy Dust 17 It Wasn’t Imperialism 18 Nor Slavery 19 Nor Wage Slavery Ended by Unions and RegulationPart III It Came Because Ideas, Ethics, Rhetoric, and Ideology Changed 20 The Talk and the Deals Changed in Northwestern Europe 21 That Is, Ethics and Rhetoric Changed 22 “Honest” Shows the Change 23 And “Happiness” Itself Changed 24 The Change in Valuation Showed in English Plays, Poems, and NovelsPart IV The Causes of the Causes Were Not Racial or Ancient 25 Happy Accidents Led to the Revaluation 26 And Then Old Adam Smith Revealed / The Virtues of the Bourgeois Deal Acknowledgments Notes Index

John Wiley & Sons Teaching Anticommunism
Book SynopsisA revealing portrait of an international anticommunist crusader whose life presaged the role of religion in right-wing American politics today.Trade Review“Teaching Anticommunism is a first-class piece of historical scholarship. It opens new avenues for scholarship and serves as a model for further research for the politics and culture of the early Cold War era.” American Historical Review“A sober, detailed, and fair-minded portrait of an organization that attracted wealthy donors, numerous public figures, and thousands of middleclass, religious Americans to combat the Communist menace. [It] provides as thorough an accounting of the CACC’s successes and failures as we will ever need and suggests the ways the organization foreshadowed the rise of the “new right” of the 1980s.” Journal of Cold War Studies“[Villeneuve’s] arguments connecting [the CACC and the US Right] are substantial and richly supported with evidence [and] shed light on a larger phenomenon and movement in US history. Artfully presented and diligently cited, this book adds a unique perspective to Cold War and US conservative history.” Cold War History“Teaching Anticommunism builds a strong case that Schwarz and the CACC played key roles in forging the arguments against communism that had significant influence in the United States and across the globe.” Church History« Outre son caractère instructif, cette monographie se distingue par son ton explicatif et nuancé. Qui plus est, la qualité de la recherche ne fait aucun doute : non seulement l’auteur a-t-il consulté quantité de sources secondaires judicieuses (travaux de Ellen Schrecker, Lisa McGirr, Andrew Hartman, Richard Horwitz, Allan Lichtman, etc.), mais encore faut-il ajouter qu’il a scrupuleusement examiné les bulletins de la CACC et pris connaissance de maints journaux. Il a aussi procédé au dépouillement de plusieurs fonds d’archives, parmi lesquels figurent en particulier ceux de William Buckley Jr., Barry Goldwater [entre autres]. …cette pertinente et originale monographie [constitue] un apport précieux à l’historiographie de ces fascinantes années d’après-guerre chez nos voisins du Sud. » Bulletin d’histoire politique
