Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The basis of the book is the provocative thesis that the idea of progress results from the uneasy eighteenth-century union of elements of millennial and utopian thought. Professor Olson traces changes in the major elements of millennialism since the days of Hebrew exile in Babylon, of utopianism since Plato's reflects on the ideal republic, and of progress since the unlikely merger of these very different world-views in eighteenth-century Europe. Forced to re-examine the history of their people's relationship with God, the exiled Hebrews produced various interpretations of their past and probably future. The notions of a saving élite of history as a dynamic and periodized drama, and of an end-time at which history would be fulfilled all emerged in this period of crisis. Apocalyptic writings, the literary form of millennialism, came later in the book of Daniel. Olson views Jesus and his followers as millennialists and apocalyptic expression as a characteristic Christian response to crisis. Plato's reflections on the decline of justice were taken up by Thomas More in his Utopia, a society outside history valuing object truth and justice, where the arbitrary rule of the Tudors and the collapse of the Christian commonwealth could be avoided. In the seventeenth century a number of other 'rationalist' utopias emerged. Finally these two world-views, one historical and dynamical, the other rationalist and ahistorical, the idea of progress was forged -- history becomes blind necessity willing the betterment of mankind. This dominion over nature, which has seemed both realizable and desirable to many in the twentieth century, appears the ultimate end of progress -- yet it would eliminate human will. Olson argues that our only hope for dealing with the problems created by the doctrine of progress lies in understanding it problematic origins in order to begin a constructive critique.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. First Printing [Stated]. [10], 310 pages. Illustrations. Index. Inscription on title page is signed by both authors. DJ has some wear and soiling. David Boies (born March 11, 1941) is an American lawyer and chairman of the law firm Boies, Schiller & Flexner. He has been involved in high-profile cases in the United States, including United States v. Microsoft Corp., Bush v. Gore, Hollingsworth v. Perry, and the defense of Harvey Weinstein. Theodore Bevry Olson (born September 11, 1940) is an American lawyer who served as United States Solicitor General under President George W. Bush. In 2009, he joined together with President Clinton's former attorney David Boies to bring a lawsuit, Perry v. Schwarzenegger, challenging Proposition 8, a California state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. His work on the lawsuit earned him a place among the Time 100's greatest thinkers. In 2011, Olson and David Boies were awarded the ABA Medal, the highest award of the American Bar Association. Derived from a Kirkus review: The two principal attorneys who joined forces in 2009 to fight California's Proposition 8, which outlawed gay marriage, wrote this account of their adventures in court. Although much of the text is in the third person, on two occasions, the authors pause to let an individual have a chapter. Both men have "Why I Took the Case" chapters. The authors address their federal lawsuit, the appeal and the Supreme Court appearance that resulted in a partial victory for the authors' side. The authors help us see what a massive undertaking this suit was and give us some details about how many lawyers were involved and what they were doing. Boies and Olson do disdain the "expert" witnesses the pro-Prop 8 team assembled. John-Patrick Thomas (illustrator).…
