Remembering David Lowenthal and Paul Cantor
Libéraux et conservateurs
On assiste, depuis la fin du siècle dernier, à une critique radicale de la « théorie littéraire » et, beaucoup plus généralement, de tous les champs liés à l’essor des formalismes du début du xxe siècle et de leur théorisation – valant définition – de la littérature. Ces critiques ont notamment pour point aveugle la question de la fonction anthropologique du fait littéraire et de sa continuité. Aujourd’hui, la persistance de ce questionnement par…

Tocqueville on Religion and Liberty
Tocqueville declares himself to be a “new kind” of liberal, and the most striking feature of his reform is to propose, and to find in America, an alliance, rather than hostility, between religion and liberty. As opposed to an overt foundation in the state of nature, he sets the actual practice of religion in America, which brings moderation and limitation to liberty. Religion also supplies the notion of soul, which validates the prideful free age…

Tocqueville's Machiavellianism
Tocqueville's sole reference to Machiavelli in Democracy in America is a nicely located misquotation. This article makes much of it, more than one would likely think possible. Tocqueville's mission was to replace Machiavelli in his role of captain-philosopher and to save the aristocratic element in democracy that Machiavelli believed should be dispensed with
Strauss on The Prince
Here is a study of what Leo Strauss in his marvelous book, Thoughts on Machiavelli (1958), tells us about Machiavelli's The Prince , and how he tells it. The “how” is quite remarkable: his book is unlike any other book that has ever been written on Machiavelli. For the first time Machiavelli's esotericism is not only alluded to or introduced but explained at length. In explaining, Strauss shows how he arrived at his discoveries in Machiavelli's t…

Discourses on Livy
Comparing the practice of the ancient Romans with that of his contemporaries provided Machiavelli with a consistent point of view in all his works. Machiavelli's close analysis of Livy's history of Rome led him to advance his most original and outspoken view of politics - the belief that a healthy body politic was characterized by social friction and conflict rather than by rigid stability. His discussion of conspiracies in Discourses on Livy is …

Translating Tocqueville’s Democracy in America
Don Quixote compares reading a translation to looking at a tapestry from the back: the outline is dear but the lines are blurred. Any translator knows that he works in the element of imperfection, and the making of our new translation of Tocqueville's Democracy in America has left us vividly aware of this fact of life (for life, too, is like the back of a tapestry)
The partial eclipse of manliness
Our societyhas adopted, quite without realising the magnitude of the change, a practice of equality between the sexes that has neverbeen known before in all human history. It is true that, until recently, most men have held a confident belief in male superiority. But thoughtful men of all kinds have almost all had something to say about manliness and what theyhave said has been critical to one degree or another. Women, today, are caught between d…

The Prince
The most famous book on politics ever written, The Prince remains as lively and shocking today as when it was written almost five hundred years ago. Initially denounced as a collection of sinister maxims and a recommendation of tyranny, it has more recently been defended and indeed applauded as the first scientific treatment of politics as it is practiced rather than as it ought to be practiced. A masterpiece of effective prose, The Prince is at …
Hobbes and the Science of Indirect Government
The article defines indirect government as self-government through intermediaries authorized by the people, as opposed to the direct rule of the people. It requires that the people abstain from government after authorizing it, and hence that political debate center on whether or how the government is representative, not on what it should do. Almost all modern government is indirect and based on the indirect question of representation. Hobbes, tho…

On the Impersonality of the Modern State
The modern state, by contrast to the Aristotelian regime, is essentially impersonal. For Machiavelli, stato is extremely personal; yet, it is argued, Machiavelli laid the foundation for the modern state in his general and impartial advice to acquire stato. The argument proceeds by an analysis of Machiavelli's use ofstato,after a brief consideration of its medieval counterparts
Machiavelli's Political Science
Machiavelli is presented as the founder of modern political science, with due regard to the fact that he never spoke of "political science." His usage of "prudence" and "art" in The Prince is examined to see whether, as founder, he was a teacher or a ruler of future generations. His comprehensive attack on classical political science is outlined and developed through two essential points, the cycle and the soul
Self-interest Rightly Understood
L'A. etudie la notion d'interet personnel dans les theories politiques des 17 e et 18 e siecles. Il montre comment l'interet renvoie a une certaine idee de la nature humaine et de ses passions, et montre comment ces postulats ont pu donner naissance au liberalisme moderne

Party Government and the Settlement of 1688
The purpose of this essay is to consider what kind of compromise is produced by party government. Its method is to discover what kind of compromise was produced by the socalled Settlement of 1688, the compromise which laid the foundation for party government in Britain. It will be suggested that the kind of compromise which laid the foundation for party government is the kind which party government, in turn, chiefly produces
The American Election
IT IS NO EXCEPTION TO THE CONTINGENCY OF HUMAN THINGS that events can occur as expected: this happens so as to lull US for the next surprise. ‘A good election for poll takers’, said one headline, of Reagan's lopsided victory. His 18-percentage point margin was exactly predicted by Gallup and roughly approximated by others in a ten to 25 point range of misses. Once again it was confirmed that science can give mathematical expression to our expecta…
A Mini-Symposium
One can legitimately ask why we should be concerned with this topic when, in the wake of Watergate, no chance exists that any substantial part of the President's recommendations will be passed. The answer lies in the background of those who took part in the panel and the approach they took to the subject: the panelists included some of the most knowledgeable people in the country on this topic, and they discussed the proposals in light of their e…
Sir Lewis Namier Considered
The late Sir Lewis Namier seems to have the highest, or nearly the highest authority of historians, chiefly for his work on English politics in the 1760's. This article attempts to make a judgment of his authority by examining the truth of his findings about English politics in the 1760's. Namier's authority is in great part based upon his seeming care in his researches, since people suppose that those who are occupied with details are careful wi…

The American Election
THE AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION JUST HELD APPEARS to have been a momentous event. It was the greatest repudiation of an incumbent president and party in America since that of Hoover and the Republicans in 1931. Predicted by no one — by neither political scientist, pollster nor politician — this was as much a surprise to joyful Republicans as to luckless Democrats. The voters had not discussed the matter much, except in deprecatory terms borrow…

A requirement of subject-matter concentration-generally to the extent of two full-year courses or their equivalent in the student's annual budget of four or five-during the last two years of the undergraduate curriculum is common to the great majority of colleges and universities granting liberal arts degrees. It complements a requirement of diversification that is also commonly prescribed as a restriction on the freedom students otherwise would …

The Legislative Veto and the Deportation of Aliens
a delegation of powers to the executive, subject to a contingent congressional veto on their use, appear to be threefold: (1) a problem that persistently and admittedly calls for governmental action; (2) a demonstrated inability of Congress to handle the problem directly, by reason of technical complexities or a stalemate of political forces that inhibits affirmative action; coupled with (3) a more than ordinary jealousy or distrust of the execut…
Government
During the past decade the functions of our national government have expanded tremendously. There has been a development of the administrative state, a political response to the economic problems of a technological civilization. A new understanding of the divisions of national and state powers has been reached by the federal entry into numerous fields once thought the exclusive domain of the states. There have been important changes in the judici…

Sir Lewis Namier Again Considered
Walcott's critique raises three general issues: whether Sir Lewis Namier thought that the foremost task of an historian is the destruction of legends; whether he tried to write the whole truth about the eighteenth century; and whether anyone can properly be designated a professional historian or professional political scientist. Some of Walcott's particular criticisms can be answered in the discussion of these three issues. The first issue is whe…

Federal Executive Reorganization
since President Franklin D. Roosevelt made reorganization in the Executive Branch a major item on the agenda of his second term of office, by sending to the Congress in January 1937 the Report 1 of his Committee on Administrative Management. This was not the first official attempt to deal with the subject comprehensively. But it was the first such effort to have direct and important practical consequences, the first to present a coherent program …
