American political observers express increasing concern about
affective polarization, i.e., partisans' resentment toward
political opponents. We advance debates about America's partisan
divisions by comparing affective polarization in the US over the
past 25 years with affective polarization in 19 other western
publics. We conclude that American affective polarization is not
extreme in comparative perspective, although Americans' dislike of
partisan opponents has increased more rapidly since the mid-1990s
than in most other Western publics. We then show that affective
polarization is more intense when unemployment and inequality are
high; when political elites clash over cultural issues such as
immigration and national identity; and in countries with
majoritarian electoral institutions. Our findings situate American
partisan resentment and hostility in comparative perspective, and
illuminate correlates of affective polarization that are difficult
to detect when examining the American case in isolation.
Originally published in 1906, this volume gathers together the

Plato, Cratylus, chapters 42-44; James Adam on Pindar, fragment,
131; A. W. Verrall on Aeschylus, Eumenides, 734-743; Walter Headlam

Originally published in in 1893, this book contains the text of the
Socratic dialogue Protagoras, which discusses a variety of
Sophistic and Socratic tenets, including the teachability of
virtue. The dialogue also provides an interesting view on the
connection between pederasty and education in ancient Athens.
Notable Plato scholars James and Adele Adams present an
introduction addressing the purpose and themes of the dialogue; a
biography of Protagoras and extant fragments of his works are also
included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in
the Platonic, Socratic or Sophistic philosophies.
James Adam (1860 1907) was a Scottish classics scholar who taught
at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. A strong defender of the importance
of Greek philosophy in a well-rounded education, Adam published a
number of Plato's works including Protagoras and Crito. This
two-volume critical edition of the Republic (1902) was another
major contribution to the field. Though his preface claims 'an
editor cannot pretend to have exhausted its significance by means
of a commentary, ' Adam's depth of knowledge and erudite analysis
of the Greek text ensured that his edition remained the standard
reference for decades to follow, and it remains a thought-provoking
evaluation of one of the great works of Western thought. Volume 1
is devoted to Books 1 5, which discuss justice and the ideal
society.

The late James Adam's edition of The Republic of Plato was
published in 1902 and has long been out of print; it still remains
among the most detailed and valuable critical editions available.
D. A. Rees, Fellow and Tutor of Jesus College, Oxford, has written
an introduction of 15,000 words for this edition. In it, he surveys
Adam's work on The Republic and reviews subsequent work on the
textual problems, language and meaning of the book. The book is
divided into two volumes; Volume I, printed here, Introduction and
Books I-V, and Volume II. Books VI-X and Indexes.
In his short life (1865-1921), Micha Josef Berdichevsky was a
versatile and influential man of letters: an innovative Hebrew
prose stylist; a collector of Jewish folklore; a scholar of ancient
Jewish and Christian history. He was at once a peer of the Brothers
Grimm, Sholem Aleichem, Friedrich Nietzsche, and a diverse circle
of Jewish writers in the Russian Empire and German-speaking
countries. As a Yiddish writer, however, he remains largely unknown
to gen eral readers. Originally published in the 1920s, his stories
were dismissed by prominent critics and viewed as out of step with
the literary taste of his own time. Yet these vivid portraits of a
small Jewish town (shtetl) in the southern Russian Empire can speak
powerfully to audiences today. With enchanting humor, social
satire, and verbal dexterity, From a Distant Relation captures the
world of the shtetl in a sharp realist prose style. Themes of
repressed desire, poverty, relations with non-Jews, and historic
upheavals echo in a cast of memorable characters. Many of the
stories and monologues feature strong female protagonists, while
others shed light on the misogynistic culture of the shtetl. At the
border between fiction and reportage, with a gritty underbelly and
a deceptive naivete, Berdichevsky's stories explore dynamics of
wealth, power, and gender in an intimate setting that resonates
profoundly with contemporary Jewish life.
