Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This title was first published in 2002.Origen (AD 185 - 254) is
regarded as one of the figures chiefly responsible for the
contamination of biblical theology with pagan philosophy in the
early church. Edwards argues that Origen set out to construct a
Christian philosophy, yet he did so with the intention of
preserving theology from the infiltration of pagan thought.
Examining the question of philosophical influence on Christian
thought, Edwards argues that scholars have often leapt to
unjustified conclusions based simply on common vocabulary or
parallel development. This book advances new interpretations of the
early Christian systems which are generally called 'Gnostic', and
the Doctrine of the Trinity in Origen's 'Platonist' teacher Clement
of Alexandria. Edwards concludes that Origen's hermeneutics,
eschatology, cosmology and Trinitarian theology are all related to
his understanding of human nature, which is radically opposed to
that of Platonism.

Buchanan and Tullock's seminal work, "The Calculus of Consent,"
linked economic methodology to substantive questions in political
science. Among the major contributions of their book is a
connection between constitutional decision making and
contractarianism, a philosophical tradition that proponents believe
can give institutions legitimacy. In other words, a major
contribution of their book is a clear connection between empirical
decision making and normative principles. The currentbook
formalizes and extends their foundationalideas as it attempts to
show how economic and philosophical arguments about the "best"
voting rules can be used to improve constitutional design. It
informs debates about constitutional political economy in
comparative politics, democratic theory, and public choice.
Political scientists often ask questions about what causes a nation
to seek a new constitution, how constitutions are made, and what
factors allow for corrupt decision making. "The Calculus of Consent
and Constitutional Design" bridges the gap between normative
questions about which institutions are most efficient and fair and
empirical questions about how constitutions are formed. This
provides a benchmark to help create better constitutions and
informs empirical research about what institutions are most likely
to succeed.
The book begins by showing how contractarian ideals can be used
to justify choices about decision-making. It then carefully defines
several concepts employed by Buchanan and Tullock and shows why the
relationships between these concepts may not be as closely linked
as Buchanan and Tullock first thought. This provides a backdrop for
analyzing the three phases of constitutional decision-making: 1)
the constitutional phase, where rules for constitutional decision
making must be justified; 2) the legislative phase, where the
optimal k-majority rule is analyzed; and 3) the electoral phase,
where the optimal voting rule for large electorates and open
alternatives are determined. These phases differ by context and
sources of legitimacy. Computational models and analytic techniques
are introduced in each of these chapters. Finally, the book
concludes with statements about the significance of the research
for the creation of constitutions more broadly."
