商品簡介
Two conferences in 2002--February at Swarthmore College and November at the University of Dayton--explored the legacy of US political activist Addams (1860-1935). A selection of 10 presentations look at her experimental method, the practice of democratic citizenship, and democratic cosmopolitanism and peace. Among specific topics are her principled compromises, her theory of cooperation, the concept scaffolding of Newer Ideals of Peace, and whether she can serve as a role model today. The contributors are scholars of politics, history, and philosophy. Annotation c2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
