Magisterial Imagination - Six Masters of the Human SciencePaperback
This work brings together Max Lemer's extended and enduring essays on Aristotle, Niccolb Machiavelli, Alexis de Tocqueville, John Stuart Mill, Thorstein Veblen, and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. Viewed collectively, these essays show Turner's method and mind at their best.Like Lerner himself, the "masters" were tough-minded realists philosophers who saw human experience in all of its variety as central to study. Combining biography and interpretation, Lerner insightfully examines a cluster of thinkers who helped shape his own influential work in political theory and civilizational analysis.
Lerner eloquently introduces each philosopher and his work, but he also provides his own criticism and Less inclined to metaphysical speculation, they wrestled with the real concerns and circumstances of therr times but always within the larger context of ultimate meaning and consequence.
