Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The last twenty years have witnessed the world-wide triumph of democracy. We now know that democracy is the only political system that enables us to face the challenges of modernity and of the future. But we also know that democracy is more than democratic institutions alone. Democracy must also somehow be inscribed in the hearts of the citizens. What, then, are the socio-psychological demands of democracy? There is near to unanimous agreement that trust is decisive here: democracy can only thrive in a society of citizens prepared to trust each other and acting on the belief that mutual benefits are to be expected from co-operation. Thus far research has preferred to focus on trust between private citizens or groups of private citizens. The political dimension of trust has only rarely been addressed. The present collection of historical and theoretical studies attempts to fill this lacuna. It answers the question of why and under what circumstances citizens will trust or distrust the democratic state. It also addresses a paradox of democracy: democracy needs the 'cement of trust', but trust should not be given unconditionally.

Condition: Gut. IX, 289 Seiten / p. altersgemäß sehr guter Zustand / very good condition for age - What is history? From Thucydides to Toynbee historians and non-historians alike have wondered how to answer this question. A New Philosophy of History reflects on developments over the last two decades in historical writing, not least of which is the renewed interest in the status of narrative itself and the presence of the authorial voice. With essays from prominent philosophers, intellectual and social historians, and literary critics, A New Philosophy of History investigates the philosophical, cultural, linguistic, and aesthetic matrices in which historical insight is generated. Examining history as discourse, this book covers such topics as the narrative theory of history, the question of voice and the personal presence of the historian in the text, and the relevance of nonliterary models such as museums and paintings to conceptions of historical discourse.

Groningen : Historische Uitgeverij, 2007. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 432 pp. Nederlandse vertaling en bewerking van : Sublime historical experience. - Stanford, CA : Stanford University Press, 2005. - Geschiedfilosofische studie, waarin Ankersmit, hoogleraar intellectuele en theoretische geschiedenis te Groningen, het begrip historische ervaring beziet vanuit het perspectief van zowel de filosofie als de geschiedbeoefening. Na de Romantiek liet de westerse filosofie weinig ruimte meer voor het begrip ervaring, terwijl toch al onze kennis hieruit voortkomt. De geschiedbeoefening raakte gefixeerd op de waarheid en de ervaring raakte hieraan ondergeschikt. Dit boek is een reactie op deze traditie en pleit voor rehabilitatie van de historische ervaring. Ankersmit laat zien hoe befaamde historici de ervaring voelbaar maakten voor hun publiek. Aldus blijkt geschiedenis een empirische discipline en de ervaring een historische categorie. Hierbij wint de mentale worsteling van de historicus met verleden en heden aan belang. Op allerlei gebieden zien we tegenwoordig de waardering voor de ervaring van de geest naast die van de zintuigen groeien. Dit boek zal ertoe bijdragen dat in de geschiedbeoefening de historische ervaring een eigen plaats gaat krijgen. Condition : copy. ISBN 9789065541130. Keywords : HISTORY,
