Golub, Mark. (2018) Is Racial Equality Unconstitutional. New York: Oxford University Press. 232 pp. Hardback, $65.00. ISBN: 9780190683603 Race is a primary factor in United States legal, political, and social history. It is race that has found its way into the minds of citizens, influencing and shaping their thoughts and beliefs through the cracking of a gavel in a courtroom. Mark Golub reflects on these challenges in his new book, Is Racial Equality Unconstitutional?, as he traces the argument of "colorblind constitutionalism" back to Justice Harlan's famous dissent in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) to current debates on affirmative action. This leads to a furthered discussion of the many Supreme Court cases that emphasize a hierarchy of racial non-existence, where a protection of whiteness pervades as the illicit mechanism of the Supreme Court's decision making, rather than an equal racial society, under the problematic color-blind doctrine.

Xenophon's Anabasis, a military adventure interwoven with a story of philosophical self discovery, is a companion piece to Plato's Republic. The Anabasis takes up indeed the two great political problems treated in speech in the Republic, namely, how a just community can come into being and how philosophy and political power may be brought to coincide. In addressing the first of these problems, Xenophon makes explicit a lesson about the limits of politics that is implicit in the Republic. He speaks to the second problem by clarifying the essential role of philosophical eros in his emergence, at the moment of crisis, as the founder and leader of a well-ordered community. Xenophon's self-presentation in the Anabasis, which makes clear his debt to Socrates, illuminates the nature of philosophical courage as well as the saving integrity of the philosophical soul.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN "THE SAVOYARD VICAR'S PROFESSION OF FAITH" AND ROUSSEAU'S OWN RELIGIOUS VIEWS HAS BEEN A MATTER OF SOME CONTROVERSY. THIS ARTICLE EXAMINES SEVERAL FOOTNOTES APPENDED TO THE PROFESSION THAT CLARIFY ROUSSEAU'S APPRECIATION AND CRITIQUE OF THE VICAR. THE AUTHOR CONCLUDES THAT ROUSSEAU'S THEOLOGICAL-POLITICAL TEACHING REGARDING RELIGIOUS DOCTRINES AND BELIEFS IS BASED ON POLITICAL PRAGMATISM RATHER THAN ON AN ULTIMATE COMMITMENT TO THE TRUTH OF RELIGIOUS TENETS.

Tafeln und ähnliche Initiativen sammeln die systematisch anfallenden Lebensmittelüberschüsse der Überflussgesellschaft, um sie wohltätig zu verteilen. Sie fügen sich damit in einen transnationalen Trend, der eine lokale Charity-Initiative innerhalb von vier Jahrzehnten zu einem global vernetzten Phänomen expandieren ließ. Stephan Lorenz zeigt, dass die Flexibilisierung der Überflussgesellschaft sowohl soziale Ausgrenzung und Polarisierung als auch die Übernutzung von Ressourcen verstärkt. Seine empirische Analyse gewährt Einblicke in die Etablierung eines zivilgesellschaftlichen Engagements, das weniger ein Beitrag zur Überwindung der Probleme ist als vielmehr ein Symptom ihrer Verfestigung.

Karl Ulrichs's studies of sexual diversity galvanized the burgeoning field of sexual science in the nineteenth century. But in the years since, his groundbreaking activism has overshadowed his scholarly achievements. Ulrichs publicly defied Prussian law to agitate for gay equality and marriage, and founded the world's first organization dedicated to the legal and social emancipation of homosexuals. Ralph M. Leck returns Ulrichs to his place as the inventor of the science of sexual heterogeneity. Leck's analysis situates sexual science in a context that includes politcs, aesthetics, the languages of science, and the ethics of gender. Although he was the greatest nineteenth-century scholar os sexual heterogeneity, Ulrichs retained certain traditional conjectures about gender. Leck recognizes these subtleties and employs the analytical concepts of modernist vita sexualis and traditional psychopathia sexualis to articulate philosophical and cultural differences among sexologists. Original and audacious, Vita Sexualis uses a bedrock figure's scientific and politcal innovations to open new insights into the history of sexual science, legal systems, and Western amatory codes. -- from back cover

Russia's special military operaton in Ukraine has become the biggest politcal and military crisis since the end of the Cold War. Under the conditons of the politcal and economic blockade of Russia organized by the «collectve West», China's positon is extremely important for the further oppositon of our country to the pressure of the West. The artcle examines the politcal, economic and fnancial aspects of the Chinese reacton to the Ukrainian events, an atempt is made to predict the future confguraton of relatons between the Russian Federaton and China, the impact of these relatons on the world economy.

Rousseau has been considered as one of the most important thinkers from the Enlightenment and, also, as a pioneer of romanticism for his investigations on human subjectivity, addressing feelings and intellective faculties. Feelings and politics have been a fructiferous field of research, especially those related with self-love, love of self and pity. Departing from this field, this article aims to inquire into the affective roots of subjectivity and how they allow to elucidate social sanctions as affective/intellective mechanisms. Finally, it will propose that autonomy is about appropriate and make a deliberate use of this mechanisms. ; Rousseau no solo ha sido considerado como una de las figuras más representativas de la filosofía ilustrada, también se lo reconoce por ser pionero del romanticismo a causa de sus exhaustivas indagaciones en la subjetividad, con las que da cuenta de la relación entre lo afectivo e intelectivo. La indagación sobre la relación entre lo afectivo y la política ha sido un nicho prolífero de investigación en los estudios sobre Rousseau, en particular lo referente al análisis en torno al amor propio, el amor de sí y la compasión. A partir de esta grilla investigativa, este artículo indaga en la obra de Rousseau las raíces subjetivas de la afectividad humana y cómo estas sirven de guía para poder elucidar la sanción social como un mecanismo afectivo/intelectivo. Finalmente, se postula que el proyecto autónomo consiste en la apropiación y el uso deliberado de tales mecanismos.

This paper analyzes the testimonial discourses contained in the musical compilation Tocó cantar. Travesía contra el olvido through critical discourse analysis. The senses and emotionalities, that are mobilized by means of the musical language on such compilation, are pointed out, such as denunciation, resistance, mourning, healing, social cohesion, and memory construction. These are part of the thematic horizon of the concept of testimony. Each of the musical pieces are also contextualized as expressions of power relations and violence typical of the Colombian conflict. On the other hand, it is argued that the testimonial discourses, contained in the subaltern musical language can become transformative, and acquire political potential to insertthemselves in the public sphere, and resist against hegemonic and domination discourses. ; En este artículo se analizan los discursos testimoniales contenidos en la compilación musical Tocó cantar. Travesía contra el olvido, a través del análisis crítico del discurso. Se señalan los sentidos y emocionalidades que se movilizan por medio del lenguaje musical en dicha compilación tales como denuncia, resistencia, duelo, sanación, cohesión social y construcción de memoria, los cuales hacen parte del horizonte temático del concepto de testimonio. Por un lado, se contextualizan cada una de las piezas musicales como expresiones de relaciones de poder y de violencias propias del conflicto colombiano. Por otro lado, se sostiene que los discursos testimoniales, contenidos en el lenguaje musical subalterno, pueden llegar a ser transformadores y adquieren potencial político para insertarse en el ámbito público, y resistir contra los discursos hegemónicos y de dominación.

In The Myth of Left and Right, Hyrum Lewis and Verlan Lewis makes the case that public discourse in America today is confused and hostile largely because we are thinking about politics all wrong. They argue that the assumption that the left-right divide is philosophical leads Americans to absolutism and extremism, but the reality is that nothing other than tribal loyalty unites the various positions associated with the liberal and conservative ideologies of today. Further, the book shows why the idea that the political spectrum models competing worldviews is the central political myth of our time.

The artcle provides an overview of India's positon on the situaton in Ukraine, envisaging both the official positon at the internatonal level and the general media backdrop. At the diplomatc level, India consistently takes a neutral positon, but the informaton agenda is dominated by Western sources of informaton, which creates unfavorable percepton of Russia's actons in Ukraine. At the politcal level, India is likely to maintain a careful balance between historical tes with Russia and dynamically growing cooperaton with the West. The authors assume that despite the course and duraton of the military operaton, the Indian approach is not likely to undergo major changes.

In this paper the authors examine the stance of the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding the Russian special operaton in Ukraine, drawing on the analysis of the statements made by Ira‑ nian politcians and statesmen, media output and expert artcles. The Islamic Republic was concerned with the militarizaton of Ukraine, the possibility of its entry into NATO and furthering of this bloc towards Iran's boarders. The country's leadership realized that the confict between Russia and Ukraine will impact the entre system of internatonal relatons. The launch of Russia's special operaton induced varied reactons across the Iranian politcal and expert spectrum, revealing diferent foreign policy approaches among Iran's major politcal factons. The official positon of the Iranian leadership could be described as «supportve neutrality». While the confict is blamed on the West, IRI's top policymakers avoid open support towards Russia, and call for peaceful resoluton of the crisis. Only the members of ultra‑hardline establishment and those affiliated with the IRGC explicitly vindicate Russia's strategy. The oppositon represented by reformists and centrists condemns Russia's actons, critcizes Ira‑ nian authorites and calls for diversifcaton of the foreign policy line. In additon, the issue of IRI's potental capacity to enter the European energy market is addressed. The analysis of the producton and export profle of the hydrocarbons indicates, that even in the event of early removal of the sanctons, Iran will not be able to take Russia's share in the market.
