The ideas of Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. Du Bois have long dominated discussions about Black political thought at the turn of the twentieth century. However, little attention has been paid to these thinkers’ implicit commitments to capitalism, which brings their apparently divergent perspectives into closer alignment. Black socialist preacher and former slave George Washington Woodbey’s internationally acclaimed booklet What to Do and How to Do It (1903), which was published the same year as Du Bois’s The Souls of Black Folk, brings a new perspective to the Du Bois–Washington debate. While the East Coast titans inadvertently recapitulated the capitalist order, Woodbey’s West Coast Christian socialist counterpoint to their secular pro-capitalist assumptions invites new discussions about the period known as both the Progressive Era and the nadir of American race relations, which has ongoing implications for contemporary debates about the intersection of race, religion, and capitalism in the United States.
布克·T·华盛顿和W·E·B·杜波依斯的思想长期以来一直主导着20世纪之交关于黑人政治思想的讨论。然而,很少有人关注这些思想家对资本主义的隐含承诺,这使他们明显不同的观点更加一致。黑人社会主义传教士、前奴隶乔治·华盛顿·伍德贝(George Washington Woodbey)的国际知名小册子《该做什么和如何做》(1903)与杜波依斯的《黑人的灵魂》(the Souls of Black Folk)同年出版,为杜波依斯·华盛顿的辩论带来了新的视角。虽然东海岸的巨人们无意中重述了资本主义秩序,但Woodbey的西海岸基督教社会主义与他们世俗的亲资本主义假设的对立,引发了关于进步时代和美国种族关系最低谷时期的新讨论,这对当代关于种族、宗教、,以及美国的资本主义。

Small-Town Life and Difference 小镇生活与差异
IF 0.3 Q4 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2023-06-01 DOI: 10.1086/725852
Elly Long
Political theory and related disciplines often carry the assumption that the small-town ideal of community is essentially homogenous and difference denying. Against this widely shared assumption, and by drawing on the work of Wendell Berry and bell hooks, this article argues instead that the small-town ideal of community, when fully adhered to, is one that respects difference, rather than necessitating homogeneity. The flourishing of small-town life requires a recognition of difference akin to Iris Marion Young’s description of “city life and difference.” To make this argument, the article examines both American political thought and recent ethnographic work before developing Berry’s and hooks’s difference-welcoming ideal of “beloved community.”
政治理论和相关学科经常假设小城镇理想的社区本质上是同质和否认差异的。与这一广为流传的假设相反,本文借鉴了温德尔·贝瑞和贝尔·胡克斯的研究成果,认为小镇理想的社区,在完全坚持的情况下,是尊重差异的,而不是必须同质化的。小镇生活的繁荣需要对差异的认识,就像Iris Marion Young对“城市生活和差异”的描述一样。为了论证这一观点,本文考察了美国的政治思想和最近的民族志工作,然后才提出了贝里和胡克斯的“受人爱戴的社区”这一欢迎差异的理想。

Harry Jaffa and the Idea That All Men Are Created Equal 哈利·雅法和“人人生而平等”的思想
IF 0.3 Q4 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2023-03-01 DOI: 10.1086/724489
J. Dyer
Harry Jaffa is remembered, above all, as a morally earnest man who was alarmed by the specters of relativism, historicism, and nihilism, and who battled to defend the classical idea of natural right (see, e.g., Uhlman et al. 2015; Watson 2015; Fornieri 2016). His defense of classical natural right was anchored in the proposition, held to be self-evident by the American founders, that “all men are created equal.” This, as his interpreters have noted, creates a puzzle (Zuckert 2009). “The defining principle of classical natural right,” C. Bradley Thompson and Yaron Brook write, “is inequality” (Thompson and Brook 2010, 115). Yet Jaffa championed equality and natural right, and he considered the American regime and Abraham Lincoln’s statesmanship in the service of that regime to be quintessential models for the modern recovery of classical natural right. Jaffa’s originality, as Robert Kraynak observed, was “to claim that theDeclaration of Independence, as understood by theAmerican founders and applied by Lincoln, was the best and noblest expression of natural right in themodernworld” (2015, 169). This is the central theme ofCrisis of the House Divided, Jaffa’s magnum opus, a theme he claimed to have developed with more intricacy and complexity in ANew Birth of Freedom, a sequel toCrisis separated in their publication by four decades (Jaffa 2009, viii). Starting with this puzzle—the connection between equality and classical natural right—I briefly retrace central aspects of Jaffa’s argument, in Crisis and New Birth, about the salutary role the idea of natural equality might play in the modern
最重要的是,哈里·雅法被人们铭记为一个道德高尚的人,他对相对主义、历史主义和虚无主义的幽灵感到震惊,并努力捍卫自然权利的经典理念(例如,见,乌尔曼等人2015;沃森2015;福涅里2016)。他对古典自然权利的辩护植根于一个命题,即“人人生而平等”,这一命题被美国创始人认为是不言自明的。正如他的口译员所指出的,这造成了一个难题(Zuckert,2009年)。C.Bradley Thompson和Yaron Brook写道:“古典自然权利的定义原则是不平等”(Thompson and Brook 2010115)。然而,雅法支持平等和自然权利,他认为美国政权和亚伯拉罕·林肯为该政权服务的政治家风度是现代恢复古典自然权利的典型典范。正如Robert Kraynak所观察到的,雅法的独创性是“声称美国建国者理解并由林肯应用的《独立宣言》是现代世界自然权利的最佳和最崇高的表达”(2015169)。这是雅法的代表作《分裂的房子的危机》的中心主题,他在《自由的新诞生》中声称这个主题发展得更加复杂和复杂,这是《危机》的续集,在他们的出版中相隔40年(雅法2009,viii)。从这个谜题开始——平等和古典自然权利之间的联系——我简要回顾了雅法在《危机与新生》中关于自然平等思想在现代社会中可能发挥的有益作用的论点的核心方面

Jaffa’s Douglas 雅法的道格拉斯

Jeremy D. Bailey
In my view, Harry V. Jaffa’sCrisis of the House Divided is the most important work of scholarship published in the field of American political thought. The greatness of the book has to do, first, with its discovery of Abraham Lincoln as a serious political thinker and, second, with its positioning Lincoln as a founder superior to the founders of 1776, including even Thomas Jefferson. The latter project required a study of the principles of Jefferson and the other founders in their own right, and Jaffa’s book includes passages that add up to perhaps the best study in that regard too. Chapters 9 and 14 are the sections I have in mind. But the greatness of Jaffa’sCrisis also lies in two other less discussed qualities of the book. One is a mastery of historical context that is rare to find in what would otherwise be a book of political theory. Jaffa likely undertook the work to master the material because he saw this not as a work of political theory or political philosophy but rather as a study of statesmanship. In order to evaluate Lincoln’s statesmanship, Jaffa believed that his reader must be able to understand Lincoln’s choices as Lincoln saw them, which is to say that Jaffa had to make an otherwise obscure history available to his reader. But in order to make this history available, Jaffa had tomaster it. Perhaps historians of the periodwill disagree, but from my vantage point in 2022, the book is a humbling reminder ofwhat intellectual history can and should be. To put it differently, Jaffa’sCrisis demonstrates that scholars working in the history of political thought can do political theory and history at the same time.
在我看来,哈利·v·雅法的《分裂之家的危机》是美国政治思想领域发表的最重要的学术著作。这本书的伟大之处在于,首先,它发现亚伯拉罕·林肯是一位严肃的政治思想家,其次,它把林肯定位为一位比1776年的开国元勋,甚至比托马斯·杰斐逊还要优秀的开国元勋。后一个项目需要对杰斐逊和其他开国元勋的原则进行研究,而雅法的书中包含的段落也可能是这方面最好的研究。第9章和第14章是我想到的部分。但《雅法危机》的伟大之处还在于这本书中另外两个较少被讨论的品质。一个是对历史背景的掌握,这在一本政治理论的书中是很少见的。雅法从事这项工作可能是为了掌握这些材料,因为他认为这不是一本政治理论或政治哲学的著作,而是一本关于政治家才能的研究。为了评价林肯的政治才能,Jaffa相信他的读者必须能够理解林肯的选择,就像林肯看到的那样,也就是说Jaffa必须为他的读者提供一段晦涩的历史。但为了让这段历史成为现实,雅法必须掌握它。也许那个时期的历史学家会不同意,但从我在2022年的有利位置来看,这本书谦卑地提醒我们,思想史可以而且应该是什么样子。换句话说,雅法的危机表明,从事政治思想史研究的学者可以同时从事政治理论和历史研究。

to say the least. My interests had been—and to some degree still are—in the great tradition of European political philosophy, to which I condescendingly regarded the American contribution as something of an afterthought. This attitude began to change when I took Nathan Tarcov’s class on the American political founding, where we read the classic exchanges between Federalists and Anti-Federalists, as well as key documents of the revolutionary period. It was in this class where I was also introduced to Bernard Bailyn’s The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution (1967), Gordon Wood’s The Creation of the American Republic (1969), and Edmund Morgan’s The Birth of the Republic (1977), which for the first time opened my eyes to the philosophic sources of the American Revolution in radical English Whig political theory. At around the same time, I read John Pocock’s magisterial, albeit flawed, TheMachiavellian Moment (1975), which sought to put the American founding period in the long history of republican self-government going back to Machiavelli and before him to Polybius and Aristotle. Suddenly what had previously seemed to me something of an intellectual backwater had become a key moment in the revival of the great tradition of classical republicanism. Shortly thereafter, I was privileged to study with David Greenstone—of blessed memory—in whose class we read Louis Hartz’s The Liberal Tradition in America (1955). Here I learned that it was the philosophy of John Locke that formed the philosophic core of American history and that helped to explain why America—at least in the height of the Cold War—seemed uniquely immune to the radical ideologies of both the Left and the Right that had been the legacy of European politics. This to me was a powerful insight and one that
至少可以这么说。我的兴趣一直是——在某种程度上仍然是——欧洲政治哲学的伟大传统,我屈尊地把美国的贡献看作是一种事后的想法。当我上了内森·塔可夫(Nathan Tarcov)的美国政治建国课后,这种态度开始改变。在这门课上,我们阅读了联邦主义者和反联邦主义者之间的经典交流,以及革命时期的重要文件。正是在这门课上,我还被介绍到伯纳德·拜林的《美国革命的意识形态起源》(1967),戈登·伍德的《美利坚共和国的建立》(1969)和埃德蒙·摩根的《共和国的诞生》(1977),这是我第一次看到激进的英国辉格党政治理论中美国革命的哲学根源。大约在同一时间,我读了约翰·波科克(John Pocock)的权威著作《马基雅维利时刻》(the achiavellian Moment, 1975),该书虽然有瑕疵,但试图将美国在共和自治的漫长历史中的建国时期追溯到马基雅维利,在他之前追溯到波利比乌斯和亚里士多德。突然之间,在我看来曾经是一潭死水的知识分子,变成了古典共和主义伟大传统复兴的关键时刻。此后不久,我有幸师从大卫·格林斯通——这是美好的回忆——在他的课上,我们读了路易斯·哈茨的《美国的自由主义传统》(1955)。在这里,我了解到,正是约翰·洛克的哲学构成了美国历史的哲学核心,并有助于解释为什么美国——至少在冷战最激烈的时期——似乎对欧洲政治遗留下来的左翼和右翼的激进意识形态具有独特的免疫力。这对我来说是一个强大的洞察力

Conservatism in Crisis 危机中的保守主义
IF 0.3 Q4 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2023-03-01 DOI: 10.1086/724492
Susan McWilliams Barndt
Harry Jaffa was an intellectual leader of American conservatism, particularly as it developed in the second half of the twentieth century. In 2013, when Jaffa was 94 years old, theNational Review called him “the most important conservative political theorist of his generation” (Miller 2013, 34). When Jaffa died, two years later, his eulogists all echoed that judgment. Charles Kesler, for instance, told theLos Angeles Times that “Harry helped to reshape the American conservative movement” (Woo 2015, B8). Jaffa spoke about himself in similar terms; he described himself as a conservative and talked about his work in terms of building “the conservative movement” (Benson 2012, 23). Most such accounts of Jaffa’s career tie his influence on American conservatism to his reading of Abraham Lincoln, particularly in Crisis of the House Divided. Writing for the Weekly Standard, Steven Hayward (2015) puts it this way: “It is no exaggeration to say that [Jaffa] singlehandedly caused conservatives to embrace Lincoln after a long period of indifference or even hostility toward the Great Emancipator.” Joseph Fornieri writes that throughout Jaffa’s work, “Lincoln’s statesmanship figures prominently as the gold standard of measurement” for American conservatism (2016, 43). Generally speaking, I agree with these assessments. It would be hard to disagreewith them. Jaffa surely helped to shape the thinking of those calling themselves American conservatives during the second half of the twentieth century, and Jaffa’s reading of Lincoln was a core part of his teaching.
哈里·雅法是美国保守主义的知识分子领袖,尤其是在20世纪下半叶发展起来的时候。2013年,贾法94岁,《国家评论》称他为“他那一代最重要的保守派政治理论家”(Miller 2013,34)。两年后,雅法去世,他的颂词者都赞同这一判断。例如,查尔斯·凯斯勒告诉《洛杉矶时报》,“哈里帮助重塑了美国保守运动”(吴,2015,B8)。雅法对自己的评价也差不多;他称自己是一个保守派,并谈到了他在建立“保守运动”方面的工作(Benson 2012,23)。大多数关于雅法职业生涯的描述都将他对美国保守主义的影响与他对亚伯拉罕·林肯的解读联系在一起,尤其是在《分裂的众议院危机》中。史蒂文·海沃德(Steven Hayward,2015)在为《标准周刊》(Weekly Standard)撰写的文章中这样写道:“可以毫不夸张地说,在对伟大的解放者长期漠不关心甚至怀有敌意之后,(雅法)一手导致保守派拥抱了林肯。”约瑟夫·福涅里(Joseph Fornieri)写道,在雅法的整个作品中,“林肯的政治家风度是衡量美国保守主义的黄金标准”(2016,43)。总的来说,我同意这些评估。很难与他们意见相左。雅法无疑帮助塑造了20世纪下半叶那些自称美国保守派的人的思想,雅法对林肯的解读是他教学的核心部分。
{"title":"Conservatism in Crisis","authors":"Susan McWilliams Barndt","doi":"10.1086/724492","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/724492","url":null,"abstract":"Harry Jaffa was an intellectual leader of American conservatism, particularly as it developed in the second half of the twentieth century. In 2013, when Jaffa was 94 years old, theNational Review called him “the most important conservative political theorist of his generation” (Miller 2013, 34). When Jaffa died, two years later, his eulogists all echoed that judgment. Charles Kesler, for instance, told theLos Angeles Times that “Harry helped to reshape the American conservative movement” (Woo 2015, B8). Jaffa spoke about himself in similar terms; he described himself as a conservative and talked about his work in terms of building “the conservative movement” (Benson 2012, 23). Most such accounts of Jaffa’s career tie his influence on American conservatism to his reading of Abraham Lincoln, particularly in Crisis of the House Divided. Writing for the Weekly Standard, Steven Hayward (2015) puts it this way: “It is no exaggeration to say that [Jaffa] singlehandedly caused conservatives to embrace Lincoln after a long period of indifference or even hostility toward the Great Emancipator.” Joseph Fornieri writes that throughout Jaffa’s work, “Lincoln’s statesmanship figures prominently as the gold standard of measurement” for American conservatism (2016, 43). Generally speaking, I agree with these assessments. It would be hard to disagreewith them. Jaffa surely helped to shape the thinking of those calling themselves American conservatives during the second half of the twentieth century, and Jaffa’s reading of Lincoln was a core part of his teaching.","PeriodicalId":41928,"journal":{"name":"American Political Thought","volume":"12 1","pages":"233 - 243"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43105846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
