Two seminal essays, revised and expanded, by "renegade Marxist"-turned-anarcho-pacifist Dwight Macdonald that were originally published in his magazine Politics. Professor Henry Gonshak described "The Root Is Man" as Macdonald's most important political essay, in which he "eloquently expressed the unwavering cornerstore of of hi…s moral and political philosophy: that the only worthwhile government was one devoted to the good not of the state, but of the individual" (from a review of A Rebel in Defense of Tradition: The Life and Politics of Dwight Macdonald). The second essay, "The Responsibility of Peoples," examines the concept of "war guilt" and whether the peoples of countries that commit war atrocities are to blame. Perfect-bound wrappers, folio-size (12" x 9"), v, 63 p. Browning to wrappers, light chipping and wear to spine ends.

Known for his incisive intellect and keen analysis, Macdonald delves deep into the fundamental issues shaping society during a pivotal period in history with this compelling exploration of political philosophy and social critique. Macdonald's prose is sharp and introspective, challenging readers to reconsider established norms and ideologies confronting the ideological battlegrounds of the post-World War II era in these seminal essays. He examines the intersection of politics and human nature, arguing that the essence of societal progress lies in understanding and addressing the complexities of individual human beings. He critiques the misuse of power and the moral ambiguities inherent in geopolitical decisions exploring the ethical dilemmas faced by nations in the aftermath of war. Drawing on historical precedents and contemporary events, Macdonald presents a nuanced argument for ethical governance and responsible international relations. Macdonald's writing is characterized by its clarity and intellectual rigor. His essays are a testament to his deep-seated belief in the power of critical thinking and informed discourse to effect meaningful change. Throughout the book, he engages with complex ideas without sacrificing accessibility, making his arguments both profound and comprehensible. His essays are essential reading for anyone interested in political philosophy, social theory, and the enduring quest for a just society.
