Moral man and immoral society : a study in ethics and politics / by Niebuhr, Reinhold,1892-1971,author.(CARDINAL)138912; West, Cornel,writer of foreward.(CARDINAL)526476; Gilkey, Langdon B.,writer of introduction.;
Man and society : the art of living together -- The rational resources of the individual for social living -- The religious resources of the individual for social living -- The morality of nations -- The ethical attitudes of privileged classes -- The ethical attitudes of proletarian classes -- Justice through revolution -- Justice through political force -- The preservation of moral values in politics -- The conflict between individual and social morality."This isn't a new book, but its a very important one -- arguably, even more important right now. Moral Man and Immoral Society attempts to explain why individuals can be good, but once they're clustered together into groups, societies can commit terrible actions. In my opinion, it should be required reading, if only as a reminder not to lose hope in humanity. And after the recent Supreme Court decision(s), isn't that something we all need? - Jason Mott, Author of Hell of a Book One of the theological classics of the twentieth century, Niebuhr's Moral Man and Immoral Society argues that using moral persuasion and shaming to affect the behavior of such collectives as corporations and nation states is fruitless, as these groups will inevitably seek to promote only their self-interest. He calls for a realistic assessment of group behavior and enumerates how individual morality can mitigate social immorality. This edition includes a foreword by Cornel West that explores the continued interest in Niebuhr's thought and its contemporary relevance." --

A century of Israeli art / by Zalmona, Yigal,author.(CARDINAL)188871;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Zionist aesthetics: Jewish artists in late-nineteenth-century Europe -- The Bezalel school: early arts and crafts in the land of Israel -- Modernism and the fascination with the east -- A decade of conflict: localism and universalism -- Nimrod: a case study in art, history, and identity -- Art in the service of nation-building -- New horizons -- The birth of now -- The seventies: exploring the boundaries of art -- The eighties: back to painting -- The return of the real? -- The beauty of weakness."A Century of Israeli Art presents the story of modern Israel's visual culture, beginning with the pre-state years of Zionist art in the early 20th century and extending to the present day, as a new generation of Israeli artists rises to international prominence in the 21st century. Framing artistic developments in the context of successive periods, author Yigal Zalmona describes the many ways in which Israel's art has been influenced by its social and political history. This look at the wider picture goes hand-in-hand with detailed, enlightening analyses of seminal artworks from every period. Zalmona surveys the early days of the Bezalel School, founded in 1906 in the spirit of the Arts and Crafts movement; Land-of-Israel art during an era of nation-building; the pre-eminence of international modernism and Lyrical Abstraction after 1948; social-activist and conceptual art in the 1970s; and the recent embrace of photography and video. Throughout its evolution, Israeli art has reflected a complex cultural discourse revolving around questions of identity - Western versus Eastern, local versus universal, national and ethnic, collective and personal. Drawing on the author's decades of accumulated knowledge and activity in the field of Israeli art - as historian, critic, teacher, and curator - and aimed at a broad audience, this book will be fascinating reading for art-lovers and for all those with an interest in Israel's cultural history, offering a compelling example of the interaction between visual art and a dynamic, multifaceted society"--Provided by publisher.
