Entretien avec Daniel Mahoney à propos de son livre The Statesman as thinker
Compilation Strategies
This chapter compares the various arrangements and techniques used by medieval compilers across different regions and religions to mould individual texts into a cohesive whole and imbue biographical collections with unified messages. It examines the structure and ordering of the particular biographical collections under consideration in this volume in the wider context of their respective genres. The chapter discusses the different principles com…
Obituaries in Service of the Rasūlid Sultanate in Yemen at the Turn of the 9th/15th Century
Al-Ê¿UqÅ«d al-lu Ì lu Ì iyya fÄ« ta Ì rÄ«kh al-dawla al-RasÅ«liyya, a chronicle describing the events surrounding the lives of seven RasÅ«lid sultans as they strove for dominance over the inhabitants of South Arabia, was completed shortly after the death of the last of these rulers, al-Ashraf IsmÄ Ê¿Ä«l, by court historian AbÅ« al-á ̧¤asan Ê¿AlÄ« al-KhazrajÄ«. It aimed to depict the potency of the sultansâ divinely guided rulership after a period…
Introduction. Medieval Biographical Collections in Comparison
This volume offers a comparative approach to collections of biographical texts from the Buddhist, Christian and Islamic worlds in the period 400-1600. It examines how both common and diverse compilation and literary strategies could be employed within and across different regions and religions. Throughout history, remarkable men and women stood out in a way that triggered an often-complex process of retelling their lives and preserving their memo…
A Surge of Strength and Light
This review article explores the American rediscovery in recent years of the political, historical, and spiritual wisdom of the Russian anti-totalitarian writer and Nobel Laureate Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, especially the deepening appreciation of his two enduring masterworks, The Gulag Archipelago and the multivolume The Red Wheel. While Solzhenitsyn remains a contested and controversial figure for some progressives in the Western world, for many o…
Grasping the Truth about the World and Ourselves
Evolving Rasūlid Narratives of Opposition to Sultan al-Manṣūr Nūr al-Dīn ʿUmar (d. 647/1250) in Yemen
The Rasūlid chronicles of the reign of al-Manṣūr Nūr al-Dīn ʿUmar b. ʿAlī b. Rasūl depict its first ruler as steadily consolidating the political foundation of the sultanate. Most of these reports clearly portray the dominance of the sultan in Yemen during this period. But a few reveal the limitations of his power in a more complex political landscape, such as an aborted military campaign against a local tribe, an insurrection by a Zaydi sharīf ,…
Introduction
Natural Law and Human Rights
"Pierre Manent is one of France's leading political philosophers. This first English translation of his profound and strikingly original book La loi naturelle et les droits de l'homme is a reflection on the central question of the Western political tradition. In six chapters, developed from the prestigious Étienne Gilson lectures at the Institut Catholique de Paris, and in a related appendix, Manent contemplates the steady displacement of the nat…

Settlement Patterns and Fortification Architecture in the Central Highlands of Yemen
Located in the central highlands of Yemen at approximately 2,000-2,600 meters above sea level, the Dhamar Plain was the home of a tribal population who continually contended with a succession of invading states for its control over the course of medieval and early modern periods, such as the Rasulids (13th-14th cen.) and the Ottomans (16th-17th cen.). Despite the roughly century-long duration of theses occupations, only minimal physical remains a…
Writing the Ethnic Origins of the Rasulids in Late Medieval South Arabia
The Rasulids arrived in South Arabia towards the end of the sixth/twelfth century as Turkoman officers in the Ayyubid military. Thereafter they established a dynasty that lasted until the mid-ninth/fifteenth century. At the height of their power at the end of the seventh/thirteenth century, an effort to further buoy their political legitimacy was undertaken by resituating their ethnic origins to South Arabia. This first appeared within a genealog…
Main Currents in Sociological Thought
This is the second of Raymond Aron's classic two-volume survey of the sociological tradition – arguably the definitive work of its kind. Aron explores the work of three figures who profoundly shaped sociology as it entered the twentieth century: Émile Durkheim, who continued Auguste Comte's quest for a science of society and a scientific validation of morality; Vilfredo Pareto, the Italian "neo-Machiavellian" who emphasized the oligarchic or elit…
Main Currents in Sociological Thought
This is the first part of Raymond Aron's landmark two-volume study of the sociological tradition—arguably the definitive work of its kind. More than a work of reconstruction, Aron's study is, at its deepest level, an engagement with the very question of modernity: how did the intellectual currents which emerged in the eighteenth century shape the modern political and philosophical order? With scrupulous fairness, Aron examines the thoughts and ar…
Political Reason in the Age of Ideology
Main Currents in Sociological Thought
In this second volume of Main Currents of Sociological Thought, Raymond Aron continues the analysis, begun in the first volume, of the "great doctrines of historical sociol-ogy." Aron explores the work of three figures who profoundly shaped sociology as it entered the twentieth century: Emile Durkheim, the great French theorist of consensus, who continued Auguste Comte's quest for a science of society and a scientific validation of morality; Vilf…
Friendship and the Solitude of Greatness
The French statesman Charles de Gaulle was, and remains, something of an enigma. A genuinely great man, at first glance, he seems to tower above mere humanity. In studying de Gaulle's biographies and writings, the statesman and military man eclipses the human being without leaving his human bearing wholly behind. De Gaulle himself emphasized the solitude and sadness that accompanied the burden of human greatness. Yet de Gaulle, the self-described…

Defending the West in All Its Amplitude
This article explores the mixture of conservatism and liberalism that informs Roger Scruton's political and philosophical reflection. It highlights his response to the “culture of repudiation,” his resistance to totalitarianism, his defense of national loyalty (as opposed to ideological nationalism), his conservative-minded environmentalism, and his defense of order—and government—against libertarian and leftist assaults on legitimate authority. …
A Liberal and a Classic
The contemporary French political philosopher Pierre Manent is, by his own account, deeply influenced by the Christian tradition, by Leo Strauss, and by his teacher Raymond Aron. This article explores Manent's indebtedness to Raymond Aron (1905–1983), one of the great political thinkers of the twentieth century. In a series of writings about Aron over the past thirty-five years, Manent presents a public man who spoke with “authority and competenc…

"Two Critics of the Ideological "Lie
Really Existing Socialism” and the Archival Revolution
It is often said that the “archival revolution” of the last twenty years—the publication of Soviet party, governmental, and secret police archives both in Russia and the West—has fundamentally transformed our understanding of what the Soviets used to call “really existing socialism.” The volumes in the Yale University Press “Annals of Communism” series (twenty-seven in all) give ample support to this thesis. That series includes indispensable vol…
Communion and Consent
This article explores the intellectual itinerary of the contemporary French political philosopher Pierre Manent. In particular, it highlights his efforts to do justice to the three great "poles" of human existence: philosophy, politics, and religion. Manent is shown to be a philosophically minded Christian, one who thinks politically and who rejects the temptation to "despise the temporal order." Manent's reservations about the European project i…

Democracy Without Nations
Democracy without Nations? Pierre Manent (bio) If we try to characterize the contemporary political world, our first observation will no doubt be the victory of democracy, with 1945 and 1989 marking the dates of the collapse (in quite different ways) of the two most terrible enemies that democracy faced in our century. This does not mean that democracy is everywhere peacefully established, nor that where it is established it may not encounter con…
Aron, Marx, and Marxism
Central to his own fruitful study of modern society and politics, of the stakes and twists-and-turns of the dramatic twentieth century, was Raymond Aron's fifty year engagement with `Marx and Marxism'. In a series of lecture courses (and elsewhere) Aron provided a comprehensive, balanced, and judicious exposition and appreciation of Marx's intellectual itinerary. On one hand, Marx helpfully highlighted various tensions in liberal-bourgeois societ…

Character and Leadership
In its most aggressively "scientific" forms at least, modern political inquiry prides itself on its "realism," by which is meant its ability to see through the moral claims and specific arguments of concrete political life to the interests and power struggles that actually motivate human individuals and collectivities. It sets out to "disenchant" politics, to expose the witting or unwitting pretenses of political actors who often fail fully to ad…
