Madison as Reformer
In the Vices of the Political System of the United States, Madison writes “Where slavery exists the republican Theory becomes still more fallacious.” Statements from seemingly different periods of his intellectual life—the Constitutional Convention and the Party Essays in the Virginia Gazette—show us that Madison consistently viewed slavery as one of the cruelest vices committed by the majority, though a vice that he never overcame himself. Along…
Tragic Glory? Human Excellence in Pierre Manent and St Augustine
In his monumental study of the history of Western forms of government, Metamorphoses of the City: On the Western Dynamic (2013), Pierre Manent offers his response to the question of modernity’s capacity for virtue. By discussing ancient Rome’s main political virtue—the quest for human excellence and glory—and the tragedy of its loss after the fall of the empire and the rise of Christianity, he expresses his longing for the ancient world and its v…
Marriage, Courtship and Aristotle's Spouidaia in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice

Officer Resignation and the Space Between Theory and Practice
Having read the erudite contributions of Dubik, Feaver, Kohn, Mueller, and Snider, I can only supplement our mutual inquiry through the contribution of an analysis of officer resignation from the perspective of Western political thought, particularly as embodied by strands of the civic republic tradition. I believe this tradition can give us a foundation for talking about officer resignation and a means for drawing strict boundaries around when s…
Humility and humanity
Though Machiavelli is famous for advising the mere ‘appearance’ of certain Christian and classical virtues (P XVIII), Machiavellian virtù inherits the legacy (though neither the content nor the telos) of the Christian virtue of humility, a virtue that is not present in pagan Roman accounts of heroism. I am not contending that Machiavelli is a Christian nor that he is continuing a Christian principle. Rather, I am asserting in this article that Ma…
