The Paleoconservatives New Voices of the Old Right

The Paleoconservatives New Voices of the Old Right

Paleoconservatism as a concept came into circulation during the 1980s as a rejoinder to the rise of neoconservatism. It signifies a brand of conservatism that rose up in opposition to the New Deal setting itself against the centralizing trends that define modern politics to champion the republican virtues of self-governance and celebrate the nation's varied and colorful regional cultures. This volume brings together key writings of the major representatives of Old Right thought past and present. The essays included here define a coherent intellectual tradition linking New York libertarians to unreconstructed Southern traditionalists to Midwestern agrarians. Part I is devoted to the founding fathers of the modern conservative movement. Essays by Frank Chodorov Murray Rothbard and James Burnham attack economic aspects of the New Deal big government in general and high taxes. Russell Kirk introduces the cultural paleoconservatism with its preference for social classes and distinctions of age and sex while Richard Weaver explains why culture is more important to a civilization's survival than mere material conditions. The second part covers the contemporary resurgence of the Old Right. Chilton Williamson Jr. sets out the argument against large-scale immigration on cultural and economic grounds. The divisive issue of trade is covered. William Hawkins outlines a mercantilist trade policy at odds with the free trade libertarianism of Chodorov and Rothbard. On education Allan Carlson goes further than the Beltway Right in his advocacy of home schooling. M. E. Bradford shows how the doctrine of equality of opportunity inevitably leads to greater and more tyrannical state action. The contemporary culture wars are the focus of Thomas Fleming Paul Gottfried Clyde Wilson and Samuel Francis who search for the roots of American nationalism the lessons to be drawn from the past and how they may be applied in the future. | The Paleoconservatives New Voices of the Old Right

The Discovery of the Self A Study in Psychological Cure

The Discovery of the Self A Study in Psychological Cure

Elizabeth Severn known as R. N. in Sandor Ferenczi’s Clinical Diary was Ferenczi’s analysand for eight years the patient with whom he conducted his controversial experiment in mutual analysis and a psychoanalyst in her own right who had a transformative influence on his work. The Discovery of the Self is the distillation of that experience and allows us to hear the voice of one of the most important patients in the history of psychoanalysis. However Freud branded Severn Ferenczi’s evil genius and her name does not appear in Ernest Jones’s biography so she has remained largely unknown until now. This book is a reissue of Severn’s landmark work of 1933 together with an introduction by Peter L. Rudnytsky that sets out the unrecognized importance of her thinking both for the development of psychoanalysis and for contemporary theory. Inspired by the realization that Severn has embedded disguised case histories both of herself and of Ferenczi as well as of her daughter Margaret Rudnytsky shows how The Discovery of the Self contains the other side of the story of mutual analysis and is thus an indispensable companion volume to the Clinical Diary. A full partner in Ferenczi’s rehabilitation of trauma theory and champion of the view that the analyst must participate in the patient’s reliving of past experiences Severn emerges as the most profound conduit for Ferenczi’s legacy in the United States if not in the entire world. Lacking any institutional credentials and once completely marginalized Elizabeth Severn can at long last be given her due as a formidable psychoanalyst. Newly available for the first time in more than eighty years The Discovery of the Self is simultaneously an engaging introduction to psychotherapy that will appeal to general readers as well as a sophisticated text to be savored by psychoanalytic scholars and clinicians as a prequel to the works of Heinz Kohut and a neglected classic of relational psychoanalysis. | The Discovery of the Self A Study in Psychological Cure
