The eminent historian Gerald Stourzh has drawn on a lifetime of engagement in the development of law, constitutions, and citizens' rights in Austria, the United States, and internationally to offer this learned essay on the concept of equality before the law, what the ancient Greeks were first to call isonomy . Writing with wisdom, directness, and strong conviction, Stourzh deftly traces the evolution of isonomy over the centuries and assesses its realization and vulnerabilities in the contemporary world., Stourzh revives the half-forgotten word 'isonomy' as rival to 'democracy' from its start in Herodotus, its development through regimes with 'gradations' of hierarchy, and its modern flowering in 'equalizations' and 'democracy with adjectives.' In brief compass he supplies a wonderful variety of thoughtful descriptions from the many sources of his remarkable learning.

Synopsis
Since the late eighteenth century, societies have been transformed by two closely related equalizing ideals: participatory democracy and the protection of human rights. In Modern Isonomy, Gerald Stourzh analyzes these two features together as "isonomy." More than "democracy," isonomy captures not only the right to participate politically but also the broader right to equal protection under the law. Stourzh begins with the first articulations of isonomy in ancient Athens. He analyzes the hierarchical worldview that dominated until the late eighteenth century and traces how equalizing processes took root with the American and French Revolutions and continued to develop in later centuries. Progress on the creation and protection of rights has been uneven. Stourzh discusses the rights trajectories of enslaved people, peasants, women, Jews, and indigenous people. He gives particular attention to the development of constitutional adjudication. The book demonstrates how deeply intertwined the protection of equal rights is with the development of democracy. Timely, thought provoking, and ideal for classroom use, Modern Isonomy is an erudite exploration of the sources and vulnerabilities of rights in the modern world. Book jacket., Until the eighteenth century, Western societies were hierarchical ones. Since then, they have transformed themselves into societies dominated by two features: participatory democracy and the protection of human rights. In Modern Isonomy , distinguished political theorist Gerald Stourzh unites these ideas as "isonomy." The ideal, Stourzh argues, is a state, and indeed a world, in which individual rights, including the right to participate in politics equally, are clearly defined and possessed by all. Stourzh begins with ancient Greek thought contrasting isonomy--which is associated with the rule of the many--with "gradated societies," oligarchies, and monarchies. He then discusses the American experiment with the development of representative democracy as well as the French Revolution, which proclaimed that all people are born and remain free and with equal rights. But progress on the creation and protection of rights for all has been uneven. Stourzh discusses specifically the equalization of slaves, peasants, women, Jews, and indigenous people. He demonstrates how deeply intertwined the protection of equal rights is with the development of democracy and gives particular attention to the development of constitutional adjudication, notably the constitutional complaint of individuals. He also discusses the international protection human rights. Timely and thought-provoking, Modern Isonomy is an erudite exploration of political and human rights.

- e***n (390)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufGreat transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
