In The Statesman as Thinker, Daniel J. Mahoney provides thoughtful and elegant portraits of statesmen who struggled to preserve freedom during times of crisis: Cicero using all the powers of rhetoric to preserve republican liberty in Rome against Caesar’s encroaching autocracy; Burke defending ordered liberty against Jacobin tyranny in revolutionary France; Tocqueville defending liberty and human dignity against blind reaction, democratic impatience, and revolutionary fanaticism; Lincoln preserving the American republic and putting an end to chattel slavery; Churchill defending liberty and law and opposing Nazi and Communist despotism; de Gaulle defending the honor of France during World War II; and Havel fighting Communism before 1989 and then leading the Czech Republic with dignity and grace. Mahoney makes sense of the mixture of magnanimity and moderation that defines the statesman as thinker at his or her best. That admirable mixture of greatness, courage, and moderation owes much to classical and Christian wisdom and to the noble desire to protect the inheritance of civilization against rapacious and destructive despotic regimes and ideologies.
Webster as Man and Statesman (Classic Reprint) by C. A. Bartol Pdf
Excerpt from Webster as Man and Statesman "If a matter arise too hard for thee betwixt plea and plea, thou shalt come unto the judge." - Deuteronomy xvii., 8, 9. Most of us are tried on the spot and at the moment in our own day and generation, we having, in our bubble-like being on earth, a domestic and possibly biographic, but no historic significance, only melting into the immense sea of humanity or general mass of mankind. But there are mountainous men, rare as the peaks of the Alps or the Andes, - Moses, - Socrates, Caesar, Bonaparte, - ever standing at the bar of the human mind; and, among ringing celebrations and contradictions, the image formed of any one and all of these giants of genius and power concerns the virtue of every individual, so that I need no apology for my attempt at an estimate in the pulpit of the claim to honor and imitation of an extraordinary man of the West, one of the chief Americans, since Benjamin Franklin in the civil sphere, New England's most distinguished son, of a permanent fame whose quality it may take some ages still of reflection to decide, yet our opinion of whom has an interest for our character now, and to whom the Scripture figure of a tribunal of judgment to appeal to is appropriate on account of the diverse and opposite pleas, one against him, another in his behalf, there never having been a case in a public career in these United States of a person in which plaintiif and defendant alike more required a judge. It is thought by some that judgment is not to be had or is an impertinence and offence on the part of us little and connnon people for transcendent men.

Gladstone's ideas are far more accessible for analysis now that, following the publication of his diaries, a record of his reading is available. This book traces the evolution of what the diaries reveal as the statesman's central intellectual preoccupations, theology and classical scholarship, as well as the groundwork of his early Conservatism and his mature Liberalism. In particular it examines the ideological sources of Gladstone's youthful opposition to reform before scrutinizing his convictions in theology. These are shown to have passed through more stages than has previously been supposed: he moved from Evangelicalism to Orthodox High Churchmanship, on to Tractarianism and then further to a broader stance that eventually crystallized as a liberal Catholicism. His classical studies, focused primarily on Homer, also changed over time, from a version that was designed to defend a traditional worldview to an approach that exalted the depiction of human endeavour in the ancient Greek poet. An enduring principle of his thought about religion and antiquity was the importance of community, but a fresh axiom that arose from the modifications of his views was the centrality of all that was human. The twin values of community and humanity are shown to have conditioned Gladstone's rhetoric as Liberal leader, so making him, in terms of recent political thought, a communitarian rather than a liberal, but one with a distinctive humanitarian message. As a result of a thorough scrutiny of Gladstone's private papers, the Victorian statesman is shown to have derived a distinctive standpoint from the Christian and classical sources of his thinking and so to have left an enduring intellectual legacy. It becomes apparent that his religion, Homeric studies and political thought were interwoven in unexpected ways. The evolution of Gladstone's central intellectual preoccupations, with religion and Homer, is the theme of this book. It shows how the statesman developed from Evangelism to Orthodox High Churchmanship, on to Tractarianism and then further to a broader stance that eventually crystallized as a liberal Catholicism. It demonstrates also that his Homeric studies developed over time. Neither aspect of his thinking was kept apart from his politics. Gladstone's early conservatism emerged from a blend of classical and Christian themes focusing on the idea of community. While that motif persisted in his speeches as Liberal leader, the category of the human emerged from his religious and Homeric ideas to condition the presentation of his Liberalism. In Gladstone's mind there was an intertwining of theology, Homeric studies and political thought.
Thoughts and Opinions of a Statesman by Wilhelm Humboldt Pdf
Excerpt from Thoughts and Opinions of a Statesman first by pecuniary assistance, conveyed in the kindest manner, and then by supporting her courage under a life of toil and privations; for she honourably resolved to maintain herself by the labour of her own hands. He kept up a correspondence with her till his death, a. d. 1835. His grateful friend thought that the wisdom and kind feeling which had so often consoled her under her afflictions, might have a like comfort for others, and prepared the letters she had received from him for publication after her own death. They have just appeared. The Editors of the "Small Books" think they are doing their readers good service in introducing them to the thoughts and opinions, on many subjects, of this distinguished man. It is no recluse who here preaches from his closet the lessons of religion and virtue: it is the man of the world, - the statesman, - the diplomatist, - whom we find teaching and acting upon the precepts of Christianity. Never was religion shown in a more amiable light than in the outpourings of his benevolent, yet firm mind.

The Philosopher in Plato’s Statesman by Mitchell H. Miller Pdf
others in his discipline tend not to bring their studies to bear on the substance of the dialogues. Conversely, philosophical interpreters have generally felt free to approach the extensive logical and ontological, cosmological, and political doctrines of the later dialogues without concern for questions of literary style s and form. Given, moreover, the equally sharp distinction between the diSCiplines of philosophy and cultural history, it has been too easy to treat this bulk of doctrine without a pointed sense of the specific historical audience to which it is addressed. As a result, the pervasive tendency has been the reverse of that which has dominated the reading of the early dialogues: here we tend to neglect drama and pedagogy and to focus exclusively on philosophical substance. Both in general and particularly in regard to the later dialogues, the difficulty is that our predispositions have the force of self-fulfilling prophecy. Are we sure that the later Plato's apparent loss of interest in the dramatic is not, on the contrary, a reflection of our limited sense of the integrity of drama and sub stance, form and content? What we lack eyes for, of course, we will not see. The basic purpose of this essay is to develop eyes, as it were, for that integrity. The best way to do this, I think, is to take a later dialogue and to try to read it as a whole of form, content, and communicative function.
