                                                  I have tried to put to paper words from my mind and my heart of a sixty plus day trip from San Antonio, Texas to Costa Rica with two special friends. I had been acquainted with these guys for some twenty years or so.

                                                  I learned that we really donÂ't know or understand each other until one is locked up with the other and are confronted with each otherÂ's idiosyncrasies. IÂ've sure got mine and I discovered those of my friends. You may share the humor of three men sixty plus years of age looking for adventure, challenges and searching to find themselves.

                                                  The thoughts of my mind wander around and are put to paper. They come from a heart that has been trampled on and being released to a new beginning. There are adult descriptions and language. You may find them interesting or you may not.

                                                  This whole series is excellent, but I think this book especially stands out. This fourth volume defines and examines hoplite warfare in a way that no other book in this genre has come near. This book thoroughly examines all primary and secondary sources, all the while incorporating artistic and archaeological evidence. It is a must have for all those seriously studying ancient Greek warfare because this will become the Bible for all your studies, providing valuable insight into this study plus an extensive and wonderful bibliography.

                                                      Book Description

                                                      This provocative work reveals the origins and development of political theory as it is presently understood—and misunderstood. Tracing the evolution of the field from the nineteenth century to the present, John G. Gunnell shows how current controversies, like those over liberalism or the relationship of theory to practice, are actually the unresolved legacy of a forgotten past. By uncovering this past, Gunnell exposes the forces that animate and structure political theory today.

                                                      Gunnell reconstructs the evolution of the field by locating it within the broader development of political science and American social science in general. During the behavioral revolution that swept political science in the 1950s, the relationship between political theory and political science changed dramatically, relegating theory to the margins of an increasingly empirical discipline. Gunnell demonstrates that the estrangement of political theory is rooted in a much older quarrel: the authority of knowledge versus political theory is rooted in a much older quarrel: the authority of knowledge versus political authority, academic versus public discourse. By disclosing the origin of this dispute, he opens the way for a clearer understanding of the basis and purpose of political theory.

                                                      As critical as it is revelatory, this thoughtful book should be read by any one interested in the history of political theory or science—or in the relationship of social science to political practice in the United States.

                                                      Gunnell's work does a great service for American political theory, as well as US political science as a whole. In this book, Gunnell traces how the study of politics developed in the United States, and how the current separation between political science and political theory came about. Avoiding the self-made histories of these fields (for the poliscientists, that the "true" study of politics came about around the behavioralist revolution; for the politheorists, that they are merely the continuation of an unbroken line of thinkers), the author presents a fine history of how the field of political science became what it is.

                                                      Gunnell describes how political scientists early on tried to emulate the more German style of academia (and along with that, picked up notions about the State, rather than the more English style of institutions), and then began to head in a new direction. Things became more complex with the entry of European scholars escaping from the Third Reich around the second world war, most especially in the person of Leo Strauss. Gunnell shows how the various personalities and events of the century shaped the field and its current discontents.

                                                      This makes for a good read, both for information and for its well-written prose. For theorists, it is enjoyable to see how little the rhetoric of "number-crunchers" on the always-on-the-horizon "political science as science" vision has changed in a hundred years. For poliscientists, it will tickle their fancy to see how theorists were rather instrumental in their own marginalization.

                                                      But more importantly than score-settling, this book shows how the separation of theory and science did not have to be the way it is. Moreover, Gunnell shows well how tragic the situation has become for the subfields and the field as a whole, both in terms of intra-field civility as well as in terms of the ability for political science (in all its forms) to have an effect on the real world of politics.

                                                      There are only point that is slightly problematic in this work. Gunnell is obviously in support of political science being more active in politics, and shows the more activist bent to the field in its origins. This aim, however, is one that is not necessarily shared - many poliscientists are of the opinion that they are scientists, not policy-wonks (and should remain thus), and some politheorists tend to the same notion (except replace "scientist" with "philosopher"). Perhaps Gunnell could have explained more the importance of activism in political science, and pointed more to some solution. But, perhaps another book would better serve that purpose.

                                                      The is an excellent book. It should be required reading for every member of the American Political Science Association.

                                                      Now that we're in the midst of a resurgence of Darwin applied to humans, it's all the more important to have historical perspective on earlier assimilations of Darwinism. Kelly's study is essential reading for understanding the assimilation in Germany. He shows that Darwinism, in its initial phase, was a jolly good blunt instrument for anti-clericism and the promotion of humanist philosophy. Popularizers, who were often scientists, did not typically take sides in the then great agitated question of Capitalism vs. Socialism. The embattled religious establishment tended to interpret any secularist advocacy as a prelude to socialism, but this was merely a bias of perspective. Kelly shows that the big capitalist establishment did not rush to embrace popularized Darwinism. Many socialists were Darwinians, and viewed the 'struggle for existence' as a confirmation of their revolutionary creed, but they also found in Darwin a justification of progress toward a society that transcended the brutal world of animal nature. Kelly corrects previous interpretations (especially Daniel Gasman) of popular Darwinism as a prelude to Nazi Darwinism. The alleged proto-Nazis of the Monist League were in reality humanists of an emphatic anti-clerical stripe.

                                                      Kelly's study has not enjoyed the attention that it deserves.
