Russell, Greg, 1955-. John Quincy Adams and the public virtues of diplomacy. Columbia: University of Missouri Press, 1995, x, 295pp., good dust-jacket but with small tear and wrinkling at bottom of rear panel, very good gray cloth but top foredge is soiled and flecked. Although John Quincy Adams (1767-1848) was one of nineteenth-century America's most accomplished diplomats and statesmen, very little has been written on his diplomatic philosophy. This thought-provoking new study by Greg Russell brings together for the first time an investigation of Adams's literary, philosophical, and political careers. Studying Adams's statesmanship as an expression of distinct intellectual and diplomatic traditions, Russell offers a thorough review of Adams's grounding in classical and Christian traditions and demonstrates the role those traditions played in his understanding of American constitutionalism, statesmanship, and citizenship. Throughout his life Adams was drawn inexorably to the intersection of ethics and statesmanship. His defense of international law was inseparable from his Christian faith, with its emphasis on the pursuit of justice and established mutualities in the relations of nations. In his judgment, national self-restraint was crucial to national success and survival, and America's success in the world would be dependent upon the nation's own moral and spiritual stamina in self-government. Adams strengthened this connection through numerous orations and writings on the conflicting vitalities of human nature, the meaning of history, and the nature of virtue and happiness in politics and government. Russell concludes his unique study by addressing the issues that confront a democratic society today. Arguing that recent ideological and political upheavals world-wide challenge anew the national purpose and security of the United States, Russell maintains that Adams's career offers a remarkable example for today's world. Historians, political theorists, theologians, and foreign-policy commentators will find this book invaluable. - CONTENTS: Revolutionary politics and training for statemanship -- Ethics, philosophy, and religion in Adams's worldview -- Adams's realism and the role of domestic ideals in foreign affairs -- American nationhood and the duty to posterity -- Philosophy, politics, and statecraft at the founding -- The ethics of power in American diplomacy: the statescraft of John Quincy Adams. 9780826209849 ISBN 082620984X.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: New. One knows, upon reading these essays, that with the death of Cleanth Brooks the literary world lost a powerful voice of wisdom and sanity. His careful meditation on the similarities and distinctions of function of religion and literature, his dissection of the dehumanizing self-destructiveness of structuralism and deconstructionism, his definition of the importance of the humanities in its nourishing of our understanding of our inner natures -- all are advanced with a rare and winsome combination of confidence and humility. There is no cynicism, no scathing denunciation, Because he renders them needless and irrelevant; his readings of Eliot, Ransom, Yeats, Faulkner, Frost, Percy and many others open our minds to engage books and authors in their richness of experience and language, thus demonstrating the craft of criticism at its best. 334 pp.
