It is also the product of an editor who consistently supported him for 13 years, giving advice from the reader's perspective, and editing.\u003cbr\u003e This is an introductory book to social thought that deals concisely, yet very delicately, faithfully, and balancedly with the 'era' and 'ideas' of the major thinkers in their time, and the 'problem awareness' of individuals. \u003cbr\u003eHowever, it does not simply introduce thinkers and theories, but rather focuses on the relationship between the two concepts of 'freedom' and 'public', which is a task for all thinkers since the modern era and a task for modern society, while giving readers something to think about as to how to view this tense relationship between 'public' and 'private'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, this book provides an easy-to-understand explanation of the essence of the thoughts of the thinkers who confronted, fought against, and supported modernity, and discusses the ideological legacy surrounding freedom and the public from various angles, while presenting an intellectual foundation for properly understanding modern society. At the same time, it vividly shows the aspects of thought that form the undercurrent of modern society beyond the realms of politics, economics, and philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe fundamental question of this book lies in accepting the stark reality that various forms of capitalism exist as the only social and economic system compatible with individual freedom and the guarantee

by understanding it internally and empathetically within the context of each thinker's \"problem\" against the backdrop of the multi-layered context of \"era\" and \"ideology.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.31\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e He formalized the image of modern man, who was being liberated from the bonds of medieval society, by modeling it after a political leader (monarch) who coldly calculatedly pursued rational means for the purpose of pursuing power and honor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.56\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If a person recognizes an existing state and is judged to be responsible for its existence and actions, he has a duty to obey it as a citizen.\u003cbr\u003e Conversely, if that is impossible, then in Hobbes' case, one must escape from that power, and in Locke's case, one must choose the path of exercising the right of legal resistance or the right of illegal revolution. \u003cbr\u003eIn that sense, the 'social contract' was a theory for free individuals to acquire and internalize political publicness on their own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e According to Rousseau, the decisive turning point from barbaric society to civilized society was the emergence of an agricultural society utilizing “iron and wheat.”\u003cbr\u003e Agriculture, unlike hunting, gathering, and livestock farming, requires people to live a sedentary lifestyle.\u003cbr\u003e Agriculture becomes possible only when a specific individual monopolizes a certain amount of land, drives out the indigenous people, and uses them as labor.\u003cbr\u003e In this way, agriculture gave birth to the idea of ​​private property centered on land ownership and was established as a permanent institution.\u003cbr\u003e Since wheat production in Europe required not only large-scale means of production but also the strong power of leaders for cultivation and harvesting, the beginning of

social order and deteriorating public security that emerged as a result of the Industrial Revolution.\u003cbr\u003e When a specific crime or case is tried in court, it is customary for a verdict to be handed down by the judge or jury according to the tradition of common law. However, this ultimately amounts to nothing more than a subjective and emotional judgment made by them by referring to past precedents, and in reality, it only ends up protecting vested interests.\u003cbr\u003e Breaking away from the logic of customary law that Burke praised, we need an objective and 'external' standard of political rights, different from the subjective rights theory that supports customary law.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.220~221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Even when short-sighted public opinion turns out to be wrong, politicians have no choice but to cater to it in order to keep their seats. \u003cbr\u003eThe basic form of popular democracy, in which the majority opinion of the people determines the convictions of politicians and the direction of politics, emerged during the Millennium.\u003cbr\u003e This was precisely the emergence of the 'tyranny of the majority', which Mill, taking inspiration from Tocqueville, took up as his central problem.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A person who attempts to unify the originally difficult-to-reconcile 'ethics of the heart' and 'ethics of responsibility' at the highest level of tension is a \"true human being who can make politics his profession.\"\u003cbr\u003e Even ordinary citizens may be forced to consider the consequences of major life-changing decisions in the context of ethics, morality, and responsibility when faced with extreme situations. \u003cbr\u003eIn such cases, you have to make a nearly impossible decision: either give up on a major decision because you cannot take responsibility in an unpredictable situation, or go ahead with the decision with the determination to take full responsibility for the consequences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e

community.\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, we cannot help but think that ‘good’ takes precedence over ‘correctness.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As readers of the

exist as the only social and economic system compatible with individual freedom and the guarantee of basic human rights, and in learning about their structural contradictions and flaws from the history of social thought.\u003cbr\u003e _In \"Review\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eA history of grappling with issues concerning the state and the market\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the introduction, the author explains what ‘society’ is, starting from the category of concepts. \u003cbr\u003eThe society referred to in this book is essentially modern society, specifically the European society that began with the Renaissance and the Reformation, and the North American continental society that was established as an extension of that.\u003cbr\u003e Even if it is Europe, it does not include ancient and medieval societies, and it does not include Asia or Africa.\u003cbr\u003e The unique meaning of 'society' in this book refers to a society with a 'rational state' that takes the 'rule of law' as its principle, and a society with the 'market' as its economic foundation.\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, even if ancient Athens or the polis were highly developed, they cannot be considered societies because they were political and religious communities, not rule of law or pure markets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Even if we limit the subject of this book to modern society, it has a history of nearly 500 years. \u003cbr\u003eThe very concept of 'society' has undergone changes in its specific content in accordance with the changes in modern European society, and the history of 'social thought' refers to attempts to intrinsically trace these historical changes.\u003cbr\u003e (…) In fact, the thinkers who appear in this book all recognize that modern society is the emergence of a new order unprecedented in human history, with a rational state and a market economy as its two pillars, and at the same time, they each wrestled with the fundamental question of how individual “freedom” and “public” can coexist in modern society from their own perspectives.\u003cbr\u003e The theme of this book is to trace how this common problem, raised and explored by thinkers in various ideological contexts, is raised, addressed, and inherited in each era and region.\u003cbr\u003e _「Introduction: What is Social Thought」\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe examine the perspectives on humanity, society, and history that form the basis of the context advocated by major thinkers.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There are many different approaches to studying the history of social thought in modern Europe, but they can be broadly categorized into economic, philosophical and ethical, and legal and political approaches. This book is closer to the economic approach.\u003cbr\u003e However, this does not mean that it deals with the history of economics.\u003cbr\u003e In order to deeply understand Smith's 'The Wealth of Nations', who is called the 'father of economics', it is necessary to understand the social ideological elements.\u003cbr\u003e The author judged Smith's concept of 'exchange tendency', which is the ability of humans to use reason and language to persuade others, to be a social and ideological awareness of human nature and economic activity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt is argued that what fundamentally unifies Smith's thought, which has many facets, including that of a political scientist and a jurist, is moral philosophy, and that moral philosophy is indisputably a field of social thought, and that economics arose from Smith's social thought, not vice versa.\u003cbr\u003e The author deals with Smith's philosophy, politics, and law, but assumes an economics based on social thought in order to understand the social elements of the time.\u003cbr\u003e This attitude of the author is evident throughout the description of the thinkers covered in this book.\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, rather than examining the academic disciplines or systems advocated by these thinkers, this book simultaneously examines each thinker's views on humanity, society, and history, thereby allowing us to gain a deeper understanding of where their arguments originated, where they are headed, and what they are advocating.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSocial thought is an academic discipline that reveals to the public the human, social, and historical views that underpin economics, but are hidden and invisible in a complete economic system, and examines them as its central theme.\u003cbr\u003e _「Introduction: What is Social Thought」\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eCareful consideration for readers, including a chronology and bibliography\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author has provided a chronology and bibliography at the end of this book for the benefit of readers.\u003cbr\u003e The chronology of works goes beyond the limitations of understanding each chapter in the text, allowing one to see at a glance the chronological and causal relationships and influences between major works in the history of social thought along with major world historical events.\u003cbr\u003e In particular, the bibliography is divided into primary and secondary literature for each chapter, and books that the author considers to be masterpieces are marked with an asterisk. \u003cbr\u003eKorean readers of this book will feel a deep sense of envy for Japan's intellectual tradition and academia. In the \"Afterword,\" he writes, \"I wanted to convey to readers the fact that so many literature on social thought, including translations, have been published in Japanese.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I myself have had some discoveries and surprises while compiling this list.\u003cbr\u003e The author is proud of his country's abundant prior literature, and at the same time, he also suggests a future reading path for readers who have read this book with interest, saying, \"I am worried that readers might get lost, but more than that, I hope that readers will visit libraries on their own, read countless books that are not easily available in bookstores, and savor the true flavor of social history and develop their own interests in issues.\" \u003cbr\u003eThis also shows how faithfully and conscientiously this book was written, based on the records of numerous previous researchers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Although it has a somewhat strong character as a history of ideas defending civilized societies centered on the English-speaking world, it will be sufficient to provide a glimpse into the major theories of social thought spanning 500 years.\u003cbr\u003e _From the translator's note \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 6, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover book binding method guide\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 512 pages | 812g | 149*126*29mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9791192247427\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1192247426 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43894497509418,"sku":"105427","price":43.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/95bb719d538c297fe46aba108b6c0a01.jpg?v=1765435785","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/105427","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
