Political societies frequently regard philosophers as potential
threats to morality and religion and even subject these thinkers to
the gravest inquisitions and indictments. Socrates was executed for
disbelieving in the gods of Athens, Jean-Jacques Rousseau was
charged with capital crimes for his anti-Christian teachings,
Galileo Galilei was found "vehemently suspect" of heresy, compelled
to recant, and sentenced to incarceration for life. The
contributors to "Political Philosophy Cross-Examined" aspire to
reopen the case for the philosophic way of life while fully
appreciating the harsh attacks advanced by its most fervent
detractors. In an age where extremist movements, existentialism,
and postmodernist thought challenge the authority of reason, the
book is a seminal contribution to current literature on philosophy,
politics, history, classics, and religion alike. "Political
Philosophy Cross-Examined" is a festchrift in honor of Professor
Heinrich Meier of the Siemens Foundation, the University of
Chicago, and the University of Munich.
The Paradox of Philosophical Education: Nietzsche's New Nobility and the Eternal Recurrence in Beyond Good and Evil is the first coherent interpretation of Nietzsche's mature thought. Author Harvey Lomax pays particular attention to the problematic concept of nobility which concerned the philosopher during his later years. This sensitive reading of Nietzsche examines nobility as the philosopher himself must have seen it: as a true and powerful longing of the human soul, interwoven with poetry, philosophy, religion, and aristocratic politics. Both a close textual analysis and a thoughtful reconceptualization of Beyond Good and Evil, The Paradox of Philosophical Education penetrates beyond the philosopher's mask of caustic irony to the face of the real Nietzsche: a lover of wisdom whose work sought to resurrect it in all its Socratic splendor
