This is the first book in international relations theory entirely
devoted to the political thought of Reinhold Niebuhr. Focusing on
the existential theology which lies at the basis of Reinhold
Niebuhr's theory of international politics, it highlights the ways
in which Niebuhrian realism was not only profoundly theological,
but also constituted a powerful existentialist reconfiguration of
the Realist tradition going back to Saint Augustine. Guilherme
Marques Pedro offers an innovative account of Reinhold Niebuhr's
eclectic thought, branching out into politics, ethics, history,
society and religion and laying out a conceptual framework through
which his work, as much as the realist tradition of international
political thought as a whole, can be read. The book calls for the
need to revisit classic thinkers within IR theory with an eye to
their interdisciplinary background and as a way to remind ourselves
of the issues that were at stake within the field as it was growing
in autonomy and diversity - issues which remain, regardless of its
disciplinary development, at the core of IR's concerns. This book
offers an important contribution to IR scholarship, revealing the
great historical wealth, intellectual originality but also the
limitations and paradoxes of one of the greatest American political
thinkers of the twentieth century.
