  1. Determinism and Causal Feedback Loops in Montesquieu's Explanations for the Military Rise and Fall of Rome.Paul Schuurman - 2013 - British Journal for the History of Philosophy 21 (3):507-528.
    Montesquieu's Considérations sur les causes de la grandeur des Romains et de leur décadence (1733/1734) is a methodological exercise in causal explanation on the meso-level applied to the subject of the military rise and fall of Rome. Rome is described as a system with contingent initial conditions that have a strong path-determining effect. Contingent and plastic initial configurations become highly determining in their subsequent operation, thanks to self-reinforcing feedback loops. Montesquieu's method seems influenced by the ruthless commitment to efficient causality (...)

  • Adam Smith: Radical Neo-Roman and Moderate Realist.Paul Raekstad - 2021 - Archiv für Geschichte der Philosophie 103 (1):70-92.
    There is long-standing disagreement about how radical Adam Smith should be taken to be. Recently, Jonathan Israel’s work on the enlightenment situates Smith as a moderate enlightenment thinker. This article challenges that assessment. Smith sees aristocrats as largely devoid of competence, wisdom, and virtue and thinks they do not wield significant political power in commercial societies. He is also highly critical of their economic power; and uses a neo-Roman concept of liberty to provide a powerful critique of slavery and feudalism. (...)

  • Beyond the ‘two cultures’ in the teaching of disaster: or how disaster education and science education could benefit each other.Wonyong Park - 2020 - Educational Philosophy and Theory 52 (13):1434-1448.
    Looking at the current discourse on how to teach disaster, one apparent gap is that the scientific aspect of disaster is discussed and taught mostly in isolation from its human aspect. Disaster educators seem to be primarily interested in addressing issues such as social vulnerability, community resilience, personal action-related knowledge and emotion rather than the scientific basis of disasters, whereas science educators often fail to make connections between the scientific accounts of disasters and the social and political contexts that surround (...)

  • Spinoza: o sujeito oculto das disputas entre iluministas radicais e moderados na fundação dos eua.Francisco de Guimaraens - 2018 - Trans/Form/Ação 41 (1):141-162.
    Este trabalho analisa uma questão pouco explorada sobre o processo de formação da federação e da república dos EUA, ao final do século XVIII. Trata-se da presença de teses spinozanas nos debates que conduziram tal processo. Para demonstrar essa presença, o trabalho se valerá do cenário apresentado por Jonathan Israel, no qual se verifica uma divisão entre radicais e moderados, dentro do próprio iluminismo, e o protagonismo de Spinoza na formação do iluminismo radical. Esse conflito teria alcançado os EUA justamente (...)

  • Does Cognitive Structure Ground Social Structure? The Case of the Radical Enlightenment.Laurence Fiddick - 2020 - Journal of Cognition and Culture 20 (3-4):317-337.
    Cross-culturally two widely observed forms of social structure are individualism and ascribed hierarchies. Associated with these two types of social structure are a wide range of recurrent concomitant features. It is proposed that these two forms of social structure are common, in part, because they are associated with modular forms of understanding that lend intuitive support to them. In particular, it is proposed that individualistic open societies are associated with a folk-physics mode of construal whereas closed societies are associated with (...)

  • Republicanism and populism: Articulation of plurality or plebeian democratism?Ysrrael Camero & Armando Chaguaceda - 2021 - Thesis Eleven 164 (1):54-72.
    This article addresses – from a theoretical and historical perspective – the discussion on republicanism and populism, in connection to different ways of conceiving political modernity. It places republicanism and populism within the framework of contemporary democracies in the Latin American context, looking at the reciprocal interaction between these political traditions, and their relevance for understanding the current challenges of the liberal model in the region.

  • Spinoza, Marx, and Ilyenkov (who did not know Marx’s transcription of Spinoza).Bill Bowring - 2022 - Studies in East European Thought 74 (3):297-317.
    In this article I start with Marx's transcriptions of Spinoza, and the deep significance of what he transcribed, from the Theologico-Political Treatise and the Correspondence, and in what order. I contend that this demonstrates what was of particular interest and importance to him at that time. Second, I examine the presence, even if not explicit, of Spinoza in Marx's works, and turn to the question whether Marx was a Spinozist. I think he was. Third, I turn to Ilyenkov and his (...)
