Jean Bethke Elshtain: Politics, Ethics, and Society. Edited by Debra Erickson and Michael Le Chevalier
Debra Erickson and Michael Le Chevalier pay wonderful homage to their teacher Jean Bethke Elshtain, and perform an important service for the rest of us who, from various distances, regard her as our teacher. Elshtain mentored a generation of scholars who shared her view that religion plays a crucial role in understanding politics, and her “fierce moderation” (Patrick Deneen’s characterization of her) informed their approach to citizenship and the…

Political Friendship in Churchill's Marlborough
This article examines Winston Churchill's biography of his ancestor, John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, as a character study and as a statement of Churchill's own fundamental political wisdom. It argues that Marlborough's capacity for friendship is key not only as a tool for statecraft, but as its very purpose. It examines Marlborough's friendship with Eugene of Savoy as the backbone of the alliance against Louis XIV. It also considers Churchil…
Hermes as Eros in Plato’s Lysis
This article examines how Plato uses mythological symbolisms in the Lysis, specifically those of Hermes, to show how our experience of the good makes possible our capacity to love our friend as an individual, and in so doing overturns the static dualities usually associated with Plato’s ‘metaphysics’. Instead of appealing to allegedly impersonal ideas, Plato refigures Greek mythological understandings of Hermes to signal, first, that friendship i…

The medieval and the modern
Bettina Koch has written an important book that challenges the traditional typologies of medieval versus modern political thought. She provides extended comparisons of Marsilius of Padua, Johannes Althusius, and Thomas Hobbes on a number of key topics and shows that their differences point to a common, central concern for medieval Christendom: the relationship of temporal and spiritual powers, the so-called Gelasian two swords. In arguing for con…
Secularization: Not Dead, But Never What It Seemed
The past few years have seen an increase in academic studies examining the role that religion plays in political life. For instance, in The Desecularization of the World, sociologist Peter Berger (1999) and his colleagues declared that the secularization thesis was dead. That thesis, which held that modern forces—such as science, democracy, technology, and enlightenment—had deprived religion of its public and, in some versions, even its private r…
